Yes. The FS200 will work without the battery and LCD closed. Join The Club http://canonfs200.ning.com

It is in the monitor so when you take it out of the base unit and you can take the lcd unit anywhere in the house without power. Cameras do not have batteries and require power adapter connected.

Dear friend, Thank you for your questions. Please note that the Camera has no battery inside, and it is not support for battery carrying, so you are right that the camera has to be continually plugged into the electrical outlet to work. It is hope I have solved your problems. Best regards!

No this power supply only allows you to use the camera while connected to AC power therefore not using the battery power. You must still charge your batteries with your battery charger. Hope this helps.

The camera has to be plugged in. The monitor can be plugged in or run off a battery. The battery in the monitor lasts all night, but usually needs to recharged before using it again.

NO built-in but totally unnecessary as the cameras also need electrical power. If you explain your application I can supply you with a DIY solution. How far are your cameras from the receiver? If power fails to cameras, having DC for the monitor is moot point. NO reliable camera system operates from straight battery as within 24 hours, you are up a pole pulling down a camera to change its battery. Since each device (cameras and monitor) requires very little current, 6V rechargeable power supplies are the solution. For wiring diagrams/parts list etc: http://liveclick.us/247tech/

The camera needs to remain plugged into the power socket to work. It isn't made to run off of the battery, it only runs for a few minutes if it's unplugged. You have to go through the menu to change the language to English. Rather than try to explain, I found this video. Go to 8:30 and he gives the instructions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnuIVDao7P4

The monitor must be plugged in but the camera's themselves can be battery operated. I just never found the battery operation to last all that long so I plug it all in.

This isn't a battery operated camera. Just buy any film associated with the camera, pop it in and take pictures! No batteries required.

The camera has a battery, and short charger cord (that doubles as a PC connector). If I have any concerns, it's because the charger cord is too short).

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.

Sounds like you got a bad timer from Aputure. I would send it back because the LCD should be on all the time as mine is even when it is unplugged from the camera.

Yes, closing the display leaves the camera working. It has indicator lights on the exterior that are always on to show what mode the unit is in, so it will still draw attention to itself at night. I cover them up.

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.

It doesn't need a battery. It came with a special cable that has 2 USB plugs so you will need 2 USB slots. also you need an HDMi port to actually send video.

No. The battery is very weak, the camera shuts down in a few seconds when not connected to power.

That HAS happened to me, and yes, turnng off and on will work but also, needlesstosay, I checked my batteries, must use very powerful ones but after that, it worked good. It's been a very good, SMALL camera. I've had this a while, then bought another one from Amazon, which was much cheaper than when new. May 1, 2014
