On mine you have to have your computer on at all times for recording and a wireless device is plugged into the wall.

No you plug your router in the back and get a swanndvr.com account ( it's free) if you have problems they set it up for you via the phone. They will set up the ports and all the technical stuff. You can use your laptop or desk top too if that's what you want to do. It comes with a software cd. But without using your PC you will need to have a monitor.

Not sure what you are asking; but, I keep my cameras plugged into my home desktop computer all the time. I can see the cameras from any computer/phone, anywhere at anytime and monitor my home. I would guess you don't need to keep it plugged up all the time, but the cameras do record to the computer when ever there is motion, as long as they are plugged in and on.

No... Unfortunately you have to use the plug in. But it is really worth it! :)

It has to be plugged into the computer using it's USB cord. That is also how it gets it's power.

no, it is only connected through USB to your computer and your computer must be on for you to use it.

Plugged in all the time. You can purchase an optional battery pack for it (which will still need to be plugged in to the camera)

I just leave the pad plugged in all the time. I don't think it consumes much power.

Yes, it must be plugged in to be used. The good thing is, it won't run out of charge during use.

This unit is USB powered, does not need to be plugged to an electric outlet. The computer this device it connected to will power the unit using the USB cable.

No, you don't need it. It works with the power suministrated by the usb cable taken from the PC, Laptop, iPad or iPhone.

No, it does not need to be plugged into your computer. It does work off wireless internet access. If your work has WiFi then the radio should work just fine.

Yep! I keep my camera plugged in all the time and my monitor most of the time

Yes you need it plugged in all the time when running cubase 7, but the good news is that this bundle comes with a usb elicencer so you don't need to buy one seperately

Yes, it needs to be plugged in. I am sure there are some battery operated models, this one, however, is not one of those.
