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.

Each camera needs AC power and has a power supply and extension, so you need to be within about about 15 feet from an outlet. On the wireless part, I'm getting a range of about 30-50 feet, nowhere near the 500 specified

You use the Ethernet connection for the initial setup and configuration. After that, you can use the camera wirelessly. You'll only reuse the Ethernet connection if you reset the camera to factory defaults

Yes all the Swann SW233-W02 Night Hawk Cameras are Wireless. You do have to plug them in to a power outlet.

Hi. Wireless does not mean it is battery powered. Wireless refers to wifi video signal it transmits to a router. All wifi cameras needs to be plugged in for power.

Yes. No wireless on this model. The advantage of Power Over Ethernet is that data and power run on the same Ethernet cable... Which comes in handy if you don't have AC power near where you'd like to mount the camera.

The cables are dual cables that carry power and video, so you do not need to have power for each camera. This system is really easy to install. I recommend it.

This is NOT a wireless unit! Each camera is wired to a special unit inside the house. If you want wireless this is NOT the item for you!

Yes, the camera must be wireless and ON (transmitting) thanks! Sleuth Electronics LLCPS: to avoid false alarms you MUST turn OFF all electronic devices in the area such as cellphones, radios, TV, etc...because they transmit radio frequencies. It is important that you educate yourself on the proper way to use this item. In your case you may want to hire a PI that knows how to use this type of product.Good day.

They are not wireless. These cameras require a cat-5 cable and can be ran using Power over Ethernet. They also come with an AC adapter if you do not have a POE switch. Picture quality is excellent!

I don't think it can be used wireless without cable connections. You can setup it with your wireless router to monitor it through your smartphone or laptop but connection between this system and cameras is just physical. There are some other wireless systems available from Swann I think which be costly.

dun be disheartened that it is wired. For wireless cameras, you will still need power wires for their continual power supply or each cam. I doubt you wanna reply on rechargeable battery packs for each cam?Installation with wire rising up from wall plug, may turn out uglier than this 2(video+power)-in-1 cable system, that usually runs from the DVR set area, and ALONGSIDE the ceiling edges, or HIDDEN above the false/board ceiling. This is a nice set with versatile settings and customisation. My 3rd Zmodo set.

The camera is wireless when connecting to your network via WIFI. It has a wireless N chip so it will have enough bandwidth to stream to multiple computers at once (if router has N also). This camera is not totality wireless as it uses a power cord to revive power. This camera does not run off batteries so it is impossible to do a true 100% wireless setup.

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!

Hi, no we do not have any wireless systems (cameras, etc) in our system. After speaking with a couple of different CCTV companies, they do not suggest wireless if you have an option. Just like internet, wired connections are always better/more stable than wireless.

The receiver and any cameras that are paired with the receiver need electrical power. The wireless feature only applies to the signal coming from any camera to the receiver. There is no physical connection between any camera and the receiver.

the camera isn't wireless but the video monitor is. The camera must be plugged into a power source.
