Is there a camera available that can only run on batteries for outside areas?

Wifi uses allot of battery power therefore there aren't any cameras that do not require an outlet power source. The amount of work to change batteries and the lack of strength in power to create a strong reliable signal makes battery powered security cameras a bad idea.

900 mah battery, can take photos for 70 minutes, electricity shortages will prompt

This camera should not be used outdoors, even under any over-head cover. There is another model for outdoor use. Also, when I purchased this camera, the Amazon description stated that it has 2 way audio... it has NO way audio. I was very unhappy about that. There is a audio out port, but it does nothing. Confirmed with Schlage support.

The power source could be any rechargable 12v battery. The big issue would be the DVR. If you want to try a body cam, I am testing a VCC-003-MUVI. I hang it on a buttonhole with a section of paperclip. The day quality is very good. Night inside quality depends on available light.

Yes. This is an outdoor weather proof camera and a good value for the price

No, it does not operate on batteries. You can use power over ethernet (POA) to power the camera.

Yes it can as long as the rain or weather does not get to it. However, I would think you would want a more substantial video camera set up for outside security on a regular basis. It is not a heavy duty item. Also, the battery life is very short so you'd want to plug it into an outlet.

this camera would work fine outside as long as you keep it out of the weather. i know that sounds contradictory but even though this says "outdoor" i would try to keep it under a roof or eave or something that shields it from the worst of the weather. as far as operating temps...i would not expect anything wireless to work well in the winter so take that into consideration if you live in a northern climate.

Hi Debra, It can be for outdoor use if you have it in a waterproof, weatherproof container of some kind. However, it's really intended I believe, for indoor use. The small size makes it easy to use inside small items such as teddy bears, clocks, behind pictures or inside front door peak openings which is where I use mine. It's also important to keep in mind that this is a camera that works best in daytime light. It doesn't like darkness. Not even darkness that has been lit up. The quality during daytime light is beautiful and full of clarity and color. However, whenever the area is dark, your picture will be dark too.

it does require outlet power but it can run off of battery - but there is no other sign of a camera

I have used them for outside, but put them in a birdhouse or some other container so they are not out in the elements. They are great little cameras.

It claims to be an "outdoor" camera, however, the camera is plastic junk! So I dont how long it would make it outdoors, much less lasting any kind of weather.

Yes they can be mounted outside as long as they are covered and cannot get wet. Foscam also make a cam that is for the outside. It cost a little more but worth it.

It has an AC adapter. You would use it outside by plugging that into a weatherproof receptacle (outlet with a plastic hood, for example). The cable entry points to the camera itself (power and wired Ethernet--the latter is optional) are provided with sealed grommets.
