YES, I have an Ultra and a Pro2 plugged into AC power covering 2 outside zone. be advised, if you plan on using these cameras outdoors, please use the outdoor rated cables.

Thank you Hula_Rock. We are also worried about the battery overcharging if the power source is permanently plugged in.

The batteries charge to a real 80% but the interface shows 100%. That;s to prevent the batteries from overcharging. It's normal and very correct.

One implication is that permanent power means that you get to use features that do not work in battery only mode.

Allows zones and CVR too.
Batteries dont over charge, but charge way quicker than with the indoor unit.
The nighttime motion detection uses PIR and pixel detect. Very sensitive.
This MAY give you a lot of triggers from insects passing the cameras outdoors.
I am currently using a smartplug to turn the camera chargers "on at a am, off at 6pm. Works great.
