When it comes to supplying power does it need a outlet nearby or does the cabling to the DVR supply power?

The power gets connected at the DVR side. All you need is a power outlet next to your DVR.

Good Morning,The power is run through the cord that hooks the camera to the DVR. No additional power is required.

Yes this needs to be connected to a power source and also to a security dvr with a hard drive. You can copy files to USB flash drive.

The cable that is typically used to install these cameras has two leads... one for video and one for power. You would hook the power supply to the other end of the cable by your DVR or PC.

Using a standard all in one RCA video and power cable, the camera will be powered back at the video connection end. At the video connection end which will connect to your DVR or monitor you will need a 500mA DC power supply.

The DVR comes with 4 cables that you connect to the cameras. The cables are all in one, power, video, and audio. At the ends of the cables, they are split so you can connect each one to the video port on the DVR and the power port on the DVR No separate power supplies needed.

I often power it while recording. It gets power through the mini USB adapter. Just hook up an external power unit to the USB cable, and you are all set.

Correct. There are two outlets on the end that are not controlled (always on) so they can be used for the DVR. Note that there is a delay (half minute or so) after the "master" item is turned off before the "controlled" items go off.

Hi! In my case, I was connecting my DVR to the internet, so I needed TWO poweline adapters--one to plug the DVR into, the other to plug the router into at the source. All I had to do, however, was plug them in and GO! No software to run, or extra setup needed. My DVR was connected to the internet in minutes. VERY quick and easy setup! I would definitely buy again and rec to friends.

The Ethernet port you plug your camera into must be a (POE port) which can be on your DVR already, or you can use a POE switch which has designated ports for your cameras which will provide power for them.

Just power. To nearest outlet. Ethernet connection not required. You tube will have videos to help with set up.

The power is provided via the camera cable connection. At the DVR, you will have one AC adaptor per 4 cameras. If you are installing 8 cameras, you will need two AC outlets for the cameras and one for the DVR unit. The picture quality is high and in full color during normal daylight. However, it will degrade some during the night time due to the infrared low-light amplification. The unit is great and already prevented some vandalism on my property. Strongly recommend it.

camera and dvr are 110 not battery operated. I haven't installed one near an ac unit, but I don't see a problem with the dvr near the unit as long as there's plenty of ventilation. Hope this helps you.

Yes. The included 60 ft cables contain both a video connection for the DVR and an electric power connection. The power cable will connect to a transformer that then plugs into an outlet.

The camera has a pair of cables coming out the back. One is the BNC connector ending for video, the other is the power cable. The power is 12V, using the same sort of round power plug you'll see in many other small electronics before USB power was so common. In my setup I have these 100ft cables (came with the DVR I bought, but they are easy to find here on Amazon) that have a video line and a power line stuck together and two connectors on each end. The power side has a matching end that plugs into the power cable coming out of the back of the camera. On the far side I have an AC (Wall outlet) to 12V adapter that the other side of that cable plugs into. I have two of these, each has 4 plugs, so they run 4 cameras. Basically, you need: -The 12V wall adapter (with the right number of outputs for how many cameras you have) -Cables (Video+Power BNC and the correct power plug, and the right number of them) -DVR -Camera itself
