I live in a condo, but want to put a camera in the garage that is not attached to my power. How would this work?

as lok as you have an 110v electrical outlet in your garage to plug it in you're good.

You need to have a power source and wifi for the system to work. It's a great system and the feed is excellent but you'll have run power to your garage.

Ok this sounds crazy, but it works. I have a deck in the back yard next to a lake. It's only about 100 feet from the house. We ran a extension cord under ground and works fine. Another words buy yourself a cord. Good luck! Rob

It just needs a power source and to be able to connect to your wifi. If there is an outlet down there and it's in range of your wifi it would work

It needn't using Power over Ethernet,you can using the power supply which included in the package with the camera.

This is only the camera. You would need cabling to a DVR surveillance system.

This camera has to have a power source. I ran an outside extension cord and weather proofed the connection for outside use.

This is NOT a wireless unit! Each camera is wired to a special unit inside the house. If you want wireless this is NOT the item for you!

It is a POE Camera, so yes you do not need to use any power, just POE with POE switch or POE injector.

This is not a PoE camera - but you can power it via Ethernet if you use this kit WS-POE-12v-10w-kit Power over Ethernet for Any Non PoE 12 Volt Devices To 328 Feet with 1 Amps and 12 Watts Complete Kit

The camera will work in a metal building. The camera plugs into a 110v outlet with the included power supply. You will have to run a wire for the video and hook that up to some type of monitor system. This is NOT a wireless camera.

Yes. Power Over Ethernet. It uses a special router/switch which supplies power over the Ethernet cable. Alternatively you can power the camera with the included ac adapter, but installation is cleaner using POE. Either way the camera must be connected to a wired network.

Hi Wendy, thanks for your good question. The camera is completely self-contained. Even the MicroSD card for recording is included and pre-installed. For local viewing nothing else needed other than your existing wired or wireless router. For remote viewing your router needs internet service of some kind, for example cable modem internet service through Comcast. We even include mounting hardware for attaching the camera to a wall. Please note that this assumes that you have an outdoor power outlet near the camera, and that your power outlet has one of those covers that can close weathertight even when the included AC adapter is plugged into the outlet. If your home's existing power outlet doesn't have a cover like this, it can be purchased for $10 - $15 from any hardware store, and if your power outlet is further away, you'd need to consider extending the power cable or use the other method that we support for powering the camera, called PoE. With PoE, you can power the camera from up to 300 ft away using ordinary Cat5e network cable, but in that case you'd need to add a $30 PoE injector for a single camera, or a $120 PoE network switch such as the Netgear GS108PE that can power 4 cameras.

The LBN511 is meant to be an indoor camera. You can use it outdoors on a clear day, but you can't install it outdoors.

You have to have an AC outlet. I have several cameras outside. I had to drill a hole, run wire across my attic and then spice into the AC adapter in my den where they are all plugged into an AC power strip. If you have an AC adapter closer to your camera you may not need to go through all that, but you need AC power.

It says it's and indoor camera but if it is protected from the elements by a covered patio it should be ok. The camera is a wireless ip camera and does not have to be hardwired.

I honestly haven't tried that. There is a usb connection and some other types, but I just don't know. I have seen strangers pull up to my house and then abruptly leave after spotting the cameras though.

See the other answers. You will need an external power supply of some kind, but that is true of all cameras unless there is a battery option. Provided the amount of energy something like this would consume with a motion detector on 24/7, batteries really aren't anything but a short term fix.In terms of the camera's controls and data transfer it is wireless. It simply offers you a hard line option which if you can use it, is still the best way to go for reasons I would be happy to discuss if you need. When you first set it up it does ask that you do so using an ethernet port.

You should be able to since the wiring needs to be connected to the power and the back-up light wires in the trunk. The camera itself is on the license tag and it is wireless.

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.
