If the unit is plugged into power (as if you’re charging it) does the power only charge the battery, or will it also power the unit? I’ve put one in a place on my house that doesn’t have a lot of sun, so the solar panel isn’t doing much. But it’s close to a power outlet. I am initially against power connections because anybody that steps onto my porch to do something malicious (prayers that never happens), only needs to unplug the camera from power to get around it. But if I can provide constant power to the unit and something like that happens, the battery will still kick in to record and notify.
This states the provide power cable is not outdoor rated.
Thank you but not what I was asking.
The camera is mounted on the porch so it’s out of the weather.
My question was, if I plugged the camera into power, does the supplied power ONLY charge the battery, while the battery simultaneously powers the camera? Or, does the power both charge the battery, AND power the camera?
