Do you need a power plug at each camera mount site? Or does the cable that comes from the security system box provide the power?

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

Yes, the cameras need power. The battery connection is merely for testing purposes and will only provide power up to 15 minutes.

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.

the rg58 is correct but you will also need a power input these look good here http://www.amazon.com/Night-Owl-Security-CAB-60-Extension/dp/B00EDU546I/ref=sr_1_79?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1413582133&sr=1-79&keywords=security+camera+cables+and+connectors

The camera kit comes with one power supply with four plugs, one for each camera. You won't need to buy any extra power supplies (unless you want to power every or each camera from different places)

Yea, you need a seperate cord for each camera (ensure that the cameras use a BNC connection). This particular cord has the BNC connection, and an extension for the power adapter, but it cannot support more than one camera at a time.

No. Mine came with power supply included, 1 per 4 cameras and a 4 way splitter that feeds the 4 cameras. I think this is the same package I bought.

The power is provided via the camera cable connection. At the DVR, you will have one AC adaptor per 4 cameras. If you are installing 8 cameras, you will need two AC outlets for the cameras and one for the DVR unit. The picture quality is high and in full color during normal daylight. However, it will degrade some during the night time due to the infrared low-light amplification. The unit is great and already prevented some vandalism on my property. Strongly recommend it.

No, each camera is wired. The camera needs a BNC for signal and RCA connection for power. Each camera comes with a 60' cable that has the required BNC and RCA connectors on it.

Good Morning, The power is run through the cord that hooks the camera to the DVR. No additional power is required.

No, each camera has a power requirement that is met by one port on the PoE switch.

It is a POE Camera, so yes you do not need to use any power, just POE with POE switch or POE injector.

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.

The system comes with a 65 feet cable for each camera and a power supply for 4 cameras, for best result you should using a combinations of video balun and UTP wire and a Power Supply Box for Security Cameras

Firstly, you should know what your camera video output connector is? It will works if your camera video output is BNC female or RCA female. Secondly, for security cameras, there are many different choices for power supply, like centralized power supply, 1-to-4 power supply, power shared with DVR.....so most professional installer will not choose individual power supply. Professional CCTV products are usually sold individually without power supply, or cables. You should check what type of camera requrie, then purchase the correct power. Otherwise, you will burn your camera.

Each camera has a power supply which plugs into the dvr. The dvr then plugs into the wall.

It does not come with power adapter but it's Power Over Ethernet so who need it anyway. POE is much better for long distance installation, I can run as many cameras as I want with only one Ethernet wire but conjunction with a POE switch those. I hope my answer with help you to decide what to buy.
