You must plug it into a revo DVR. It uses special RJ24 cable that provides power and video in one cable.

It has to plug into a dvr or other system. You may be able to give it some kind of power and hook it to a tv. I use mine on a dvr system that I bought.

My complete system with 8 cameras is on sale right now at about half what I paid at Securitall.com ($699 complete). You can totally trust them in my experience. It's on the main home page that comes up the 16 channel system for $699. They have been very helpful. Here is the URL if you want to paste it into your browser. http://www.securitall.com/featured-products/super-savings-revo-8-night-vision-camera-16-channel-dvr-security-system-with-18-5-led-monitor/

It plugs into a Revo DVR which is the heart of the video system. This is just the camera. I got a Revo R16DVR4 system. You can check it out at securitall.com which is the sales part of Revo America, or search out Revo DVR on Amazon.com. It's cheaper to buy a whole system with cameras included, 4, 8, or 16 channel whatever number of cameras you need.

I don't have the outside camera. I have a wireless indoor Foscam camera that I use through my router. It does have to be able to be plugged into electricity. Sorry I cannot answer the question about the outdoor Foscam.

This camera requires A) Power. You need to be able to plug into an outlet. And B) an Internet connection where the camera is. The camera (powered) is connected to the Internet router and then you can access that remotely from anywhere in the world.

I can't answer personally because it was a gift to our son-in-law. But I know he has gotten pictures off the camera and he didn't tell me he needed anything to plug into the camera. I can check with him after he gets home from work and see if he says anything different.

I had to plug it into a socket. Kinda lame. Defeates the whole hidden camera aspect of the device. it has a step down transformer in the plug. Like a calculator or a set of desktop speakers.hope that helps you

The camera must be plugged into an outlet. I drilled a hole in the ceiling of my breezway and ran the cord into an extension cord plugged into the garage attic. this will prevent someone from unplugging it.

You will need a DVR. I suggest the Zmodo 4 channel or 8 channel system. The Camera is powered by the supplied power wires. I use the Zmodo systems wires that have two plugs on each end, one power wire and one video wire. Run the wires through either a drilled hole in your house or if 2nd story i suggest you crack the window and lightly close the window on the wires but do not crush them. On window sill (if doing so i suggest a window wedge or two be placed on the window edge to secure your home *Crease (sp?) wedge is what i used, it is about $10 on Amazon. Suggest a computer monitor off Craigslist or hook into your computer. You will need a DVR. I suggest the Zmodo 4 channel or 8 channel system. The Camera is powered by the supplied power wires.

Hi. The camera comes with a plug in transformer to operate. Although it supposedly can get power through the Ethernet connection as well, I found it only worked plugged in to an outlet

Camera was a gift sent to relative via Amazon, am not sure about the power source

You can buy an adapter for it and plug it in and use it that way.That's what I did if I was taking a lot of photos or recording video for awhile.

I made this mistake too, this is a camera to be used with a CCTV which means you already have a monitor to be seen on, it's not a stand alone camera, as I think you are looking for. I didn't read the specifications properly and now I have to send it back and I ordered a WiFi / IP Camera, which can be easily set up through the computer or mobile device, you do need a current network to set it up (In case you are thinking of using it for the summer cabin or something, just an example) With IP / WiFi surveillance cameras you can set up to be recorded whether its video or pictures every period of time, although you need a computer and it has to be left on to record. I bought a Foscam FI8910W and I'm happy with it, I've playing around with it and it would do for the purpose I wanted it for, check every now and then how things are running at a work place. Hope this helps.

Great camera! It's powered by your standard outlet and can install anywhere there's wifi and a power source. You'll also probably want to conceal the power cord.

No you do not. You only need the one supplied with camera "kit." The whole system runs off of your electrical box. All the circuits run back to the main breaker panel. In one installation, although it was the same business, they had two breaker panels, so I had to run a plug off the one panel I was connecting the system to. It worked well. Good luck.

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

Sorry, I always charge mine from the wall outlet. You should be able to find a manual on the Internet as the camera I purchased only came with a quick start manual.

You will need to plug the camera into a standard outlet. I have the supplied reciever plugged into a dvr that was supplied with a diff. 4 camera "wired" kit.
