Do these cameras run on battery?

No, there is a plug jack that goes in the back and then those stupid wall warts (plug transformers).

No they use AC adapters. I like the cameras. If you follow the instructions they are pretty straight forward to set up and work well remotely.

No they do not run on batteries. I had to return our unit because I thought this was something that plugged into the wall on one end, while being able to walk around with the other...but that is not the case. both units require outlets exclusively.

No. I've had this camera for many years and never had a problem. Probably depends what battery you're using. They don't last forever -- even tho rechargable.

Cynthia our cameras do come with batteries. We may have an original or after market battery depending on the listing.

David, while I'd like to say they do, my only experience with these has been with my Nikon D7100. Otherwise their performance has been very good and they work well with the battery monitoring features of my camera. Sorry I couldn't be more specific about the answer to your question.

No. Works on a proprietary lithium ion battery. Most cameras these days are like that.

No. The battery is very weak, the camera shuts down in a few seconds when not connected to power.

These are just dummy cameras. There is no motion sensor in it just a blinking light. I installed mine show that it uses an AC power adapter. That way I do not have to keep changing batteries

Yes there is an option for them to run on batteries, but I don't know how long it will run for.

They do not have an on/off switch. These are just for the appearance of having video security. In my case though it has worked. I have not had any issues since these simulated cameras were installed.

The cameras have no battery life. They have to be plugged in to a 110 outlet.

Yes, they are!They are passive (don´t need battery) and I'm pretty happy with them.

The batteries are rechargeable and, if my memory serves me well, that's normal. Rechargeable batteries usually need to be charged before the first use. The camera will charge them whenever it is turned off and connected to a powered USB port. Alternatively you can purchase an external wall charger (Panasonic DE-A65BA).

I does run on the batteries, but they are mainly for backup. I don't know how long it would run so take extra batteries.

No. You have to charge the battery while in the camera.Great clarity of photo's from this budget camera.

They are just lights. What camera you use does not matter. They do need to be plugged into an outlet.

Yes they do. You can set the cameras to take a pic or run video for a few seconds when motion is detected. They are dormant until motion is detected.
