What is that cord used for on the side of the unit? Doesn't the power go through the part that inserts into the camera body?

The cord is for the "Portrait" shutter button ... the battery pack has a shutter button for you to use when shooting picture in a portrait position ... a lot easier than twisting your hand around to click the shutter button on the camera ...

Go to Radio Shack, or simply take a power supply unit that comes with most camera's and just use the power side of the wire that connects to a standard camera. Problem solved : ) Dan

The cord is unshielded. It works great going directly into a camera, but if you put a long lead (like for a boom pole) it will hum/buzz.

There's a foot or two long cable between the camera and ethernet and power jack on the camera, then a 6 ft 12v power cable.It's really annoying to cut and extend the foscam cable, since they're coaxial style. It's almost better to just get an extension for the jacks.

I think the diameter of hole you need should be around 1.2'' to feed the power /data cable. The power/data cable can not be detachable from the camera side.

There is an AC power adapter (included) with two prongs. I usually use a 12' cheap extension cord to power the camera.

It shouldve come with a little power cord also, keep that thing plugged in along with the normal hdmi, it should be on the side of the device, its basically giving the converter power to convert to hdmi,

The diagram shows how to position the cord so it exits the camera body through the built in hole. It is hard to see. There is a rubber flap over the hole, and the flap looks exactly like the camera body, so it is not obvious that it can be moved. Turn the camera upside down, with the battery door closed and looking at "batt.open", the flap is directly below the 'n'. It works fine, just hard to see.

The power chord is in there (the black one). When you want to power up the remote closed circuit camera ,you attach the power adaptor to the wall outlet and the other side of the black power chord to the closed circuit tv camera . And presto it all works out .

It would be hard use as it's meant to be used while plugged into the wall! The point of the camera is to charge and go!

The camera plugs into a power unit that is included. The power unit is then plugged into an AC wall outlet and can power the camera over the 100 foot cable which is also included. Works very well.

Runs off power from the XLR cable. So the camera, or whatever its plugged into, will be powering the microphone.

Signal is actually received where the power supply plugs into the wall. If your camera is too heavy it can slow it down and will burn out the power supply.

It's a special battery that recharges in the camera with the cord provided. You can buy a wall charger and extra batteries so that you can carry a spare.

Power does not plug into this unit. Power cables are run separately to each camera. I have used this unit and it works great.

I had to make a cord attachment because the attachment provided was too thick for my camera, so I can't say. Sorry.

I have the power source inside connected to the wall and also ordered the 50 foot extension cable and it connects to the camera outside. I have a TV cable coming through the wall from outside, and put this wire through that.
