Can camera, monitors operate only on the supplied rechargeable batteries? Is ac power essential to power up the cameras? Will the existing door bell power sufficient for the camera?

Thanks for your inquiry. Input power: 100-240VAC 50/60HZ Output power: 5V; 1A You should charge the cameras or monitor with the charger if they are run out of power.

The camera itself plugs in with an AC adapter. The monitor can be run off the battery or an included AC adapter.

I'm sorry Bonnie, but for some reason my message to you got cut off so here is the most important part for you. I also use it for home surveillance. The short answer to your question is NO! you cannot connect an external power supply to these cameras. Hope this was of some help. Pete

Thank you for your inquiry. These cameras are not wireless nor battery powered. In order to build a working camera system, you'll need the cameras, a DVR recorder, cabling, and power supplies.

It requires a 12 V DC power supply which usualy comes with cameras bought at Amazon, If not they are only about $5.00 on line PS: Last thing you want to do is connecting this camera directly to a 120V AC outlet (it will fry the camera )

The camera does need a power source. I did not use the power adapter because I connect the camera to my existing video surveillance system. I hope this answers your question.

Make sure ur AC Adaptor or Battery can Supply 12 volts and at least 400 Miliamps and u hav an Active Video signal Transmitting to the monitor. the monitor automatically shuts down all circuits cept the video processor to save power wen no video is present but wen a video signal is detected the monitor will turn on the Screen. this is a nice feature as i plan to use it as a remote Viewfinder for my Camera. Note on powered camera, all cameras r powered wen working and the Rear view cameras DO Not supply power thru their video outputs On the stripped end of the Power line the red wire is Positive Make sure ur AC Adaptor or Battery can Supply 12 volts and at least 400 Miliamps and u hav an Active Video signal Transmitting to the monitor. the monitor automatically shuts down all circuits cept the video processor to save power wen no video is present but wen a video signal is detected the monitor will turn on the Screen. this is a nice feature as i plan to use it as a remote Viewfinder for my Camera.

It needs 12 volts DC from a mains adapter (wall-wort). A battery would be quickly exhausted. The power supply could be close to the camera even it the monitor or DVR isn't. BTW: It's an excellent camera with impressive low light sensitivity.

Nope. All it needs is a power supply (comes with it, plug-in 12v transformer!) and typical connectors/wire to a monitor and it'll give a constant, live feed. Low def, but a constant feed. (Also, the camera is really small, incredible for the price. It can be hidden most anywhere and adapted for use in many locations including J-box, under-counter/roofline, ceiling, toys, etc.)

The camera portion always has to be plugged in. The monitor portion runs on an internal rechargeable battery and does not have to always be plugged in.

The camera battery is rechargeable but is so difficult to remove from the camera, it is easier to place it where you can leave it plugged into the power outlet. The camera connects wireless to the monitors.

If the camera is fulfilled by Amazon, then it doesn't come with a power supply. Please purchase the same camera listed fulfilled by GW Security Inc for $67.99; this listing comes with a power supply.

You need to use the DC power adapter. The camera does not have its own internal battery.

The cameras plug into the wall. Monitor plugs in and has a rechargeable battery inside.

Thank you for your interest in our products. This monitor does not have a battery. The monitor comes with a DC power plug as well as an AC power adapter. To have portable capability we offer a battery adapter plate that converts a camera battery to 12V. We offer adapter plates that can convert Canon BP, Canon LP-E6 or Sony NP-F series batteries. I hope this information was helpful. Thanks!

Yes. I've tested the camera using the wall outlet and no batteries....all functions work.

The camera's do not have batteries. They use a plug-in transformer. So even though they send a signal wirelessly you still need household current to power them. Thus not truly wireless.
