Hi Joyce, yes it needs a power supply as in a 910 mah 3-cell/3h 11.1V 10.1 Wh made by Thunder power, they are small and u can Velcro to the pole, it work like magic, I use them on go poles for tv production and on my quads! Look closely at your connections to be surer They play nice! Shawn

Signal is actually received where the power supply plugs into the wall. If your camera is too heavy it can slow it down and will burn out the power supply.

I have the power source inside connected to the wall and also ordered the 50 foot extension cable and it connects to the camera outside. I have a TV cable coming through the wall from outside, and put this wire through that.

It has two 66' long camera cables but other than that it could be mounted on anything with a 12v power supply. just tuck the excess cable out of the way or ( not recommended) but you could cut and splice it.

Actually, and this is a very good question, the wiring for the cameras are included but the power supply for the cameras is not. This has to be purchased separately and it's fairly cheap to buy. It usually comes with in a 4 prong power adapter set for each camera.

You do not need an outlet at each camera location. The cable that provides the video feed is paired with a power cable.

It should work inside or outside a metal building. The camera gets electricity from an outlet. There is a transformer plug with 6' cord included with the camera to convert 120 household electricity to 12 v dc which is what the camera needs. Typically an extension cord made for security cameras (50, 75, 100 or 150 feet)carries the 12 v to the camera and the cameras picture to the display (TV, monitor etc.) and/or DVR. You Need a TV or monitor with a yellow RCA input. Some camera extension cords come with a converter plug to convert from the BNC connector on the monitor end to an RCA input The camera end is just a BNC connection so you don't need a converter It should work inside or outside a metal building.

I dont have any power source by my garage can these cameras work without being plugged in?I know the monitor does need power but the camera by it self does that need to be plugged in ?

It needs to be connected to a computer via USB 2.0 and it also requires 110V AC power. I don't understand your application, but I guess you could stash this with a PC of some type in a remote location together, but the PC and the Camera require power. If the PC was connected to a Wi-Fi or other wireless network, I guess you could use it as "wireless" camera. Not sure this is what you have in mind.

No, it needs to be connected to a DVR receiver and a power source. Even wireless cameras need a power source . . . . So there is never a true wireless camera. It is best to take the time and wire all your cameras for you security needs. And make sure that they have the right power adaptor if you buy them separate from a kit. All the best.

The camera is PoE and uses power from a PoE enabled switch, or one of Hiikvisions NVR's. You could get an injector if need be and install it inline with the cat 5/6 wire run to the camera. Hope that helps.

No. The camera needs a power source. Consider a small 12v solar panel & small 12v battery.

I just put one with in our tractor... you need power to both the camera and the monitor... there should be cables ... then from the monitor you should use the yellow cable and then connect that to the video cable. I practiced on a lwn mower battery with some connects to see how it works... If you are using for just a back up the power to the camera should come from you back up lights... since they would be triggered when you are in reverse.

Just a power source, at least with the ADT and Verizon versions. They have a specific router that is does have to be wired to during the initial setup (takes about 2-3 minutes) but once that's done as long as its a secured wireless network, you'll be good to go. That said, having installed these at a few locations, if signal is weak, you may want to consider a LAN connection, but it is generally not needed, even with 5+ cameras on one system. Hope this helps!

This camera has to have a power source. I ran an outside extension cord and weather proofed the connection for outside use.

You need a power cord to the camera, but the image is sent wirelessly. The camera comes with an antenna or you can order a larger one separately.

Hey tick, my camera's are hard wired, which means I have to power them up with a 12v power supply (which was included). The wireless systems, a battery will be the power for the camera, and the base unit for most will be your 12v power supply or however the manufacturer sets the system up with. Basically with electronics is if its doing something, it needs power to do it. Same like us, we need food. However technology today uses alternate energy, but I'm getting off course so I'll end here. Hope I answered your question.The systemas a whole, I feel I got a lotta bang for the buck without spending a thousand. Zmodo support is excellent.
