If I take the battery out and plug the usb cable into the camera...then into the power socket,will this run ok? Effectively I am trying to hardwire the camera,rather than relly on the rechargable battery. Also can anyone tell me...If I use the rechargeable battery only,how long before the battery would need to be recharged with normal use? Thanks!

 

NOTE: The camera is model number VMS4330  (The model up top is incorrect but as close as the dropdown box would allow)

Yes. the PRO can run from the adapter and cable WITH or WITHOUT the battery installed.  It will not hurt the battery to be left in all the time with the AC adapter

 

The Pro battery for me runs about 3 months normal / plus usage

Thankyou! As it is a new house build,I may as well look at a hard-wiring option,this looks to be the easiest..Cheers!

Not that I'm aware of but other cables should work.  The issue may be the plastic surround on the cable may need a little trimming.
