This will give power to my camera (D3200) when recording video? or is just for charge?

This is not a charger, it is an AC power source where can operate the camera when attached (no different than your battery)

This adapter does power your camera and the insert installs in the battery compartment. It does NOT charge the battery. It will only provide power if plugged in. I use this for a stationary long term power source for my Nikon D5100.

Yes, it's an AC adapter, so the battery-shaped adapter end goes into your camera in place of your battery giving you unlimited power.

I have the 3200 also. It does allow you to use your camera for video and photos.It does not charge the battery.It plugs in where the battery goes.So keep your charger handy.Hope this helps.

This will power your camera. No charging is involved as using this power adapter requires you to remove the battery from your camera.

The adapter uses the battery slot to power the Camera. You have to remove the battery to fit the adapter. So yes it will provide power while taking pictures or video but will not charge the battery.

From what i can tell if you can power the cameras they will put out a video signal which the DVR will record. What I'm saying is the laView is looking for video inputs and that is it so if you plug the video cable from the camera into (may need an adapter if the cable end is different) the laView will record it and you will only need to power the cameras.

No- while it's true the charging process is done with the whole camera plugged in, you CAN USE THE CAMCORDER using AC- the charging will be suspended for the time you record, and resume once you turn off the camera again.

Just plug in USB cable to the recording unit and other end of the cable to one of those USE-to-power adapter for the charging. However I strongly recommend purchasing dedicated power adapter made by the manufacturer.

The camera does need a power source. I did not use the power adapter because I connect the camera to my existing video surveillance system. I hope this answers your question.

I think if the little red light is blinking it should be recording. Make sure to land it safely, otherwise I think it doesn't keep the recording. I haven't use the camera much because the quality isn't as good as I had hoped. Good luck.

Hi,I think it depends on how much power your camera(s) draw when they are operating. It also depends, for example, it any or all of them are PTZ cameras, which usually draw more power when moving the camera with the movement commands. For my application, which are security cameras associated with my DVR system, I have found these power units to work better than the original equipment. Hope this helps.Larry

Sorry, you won't be able to plug it in to charge and still be able to record video. You'll see an error message on the screen that says "Only playback possible during USB Power Supply." You could, alternatively, buy a spare battery and charge the original battery up until it is full and charge the second up as well and then just swap batteries, but that would force you to break up the video because of the change in batteries and would lose some of the event you are recording in the time it takes to do that. With that said, there are also limits to the file size and/or time that you can capture in a single video as well, so you'd have to break it into smaller recordings at some point anyway with that partially dependent upon the size of the memory card you install and use.

Michael.....the recorder uses standard 120 volt. each camera also get attached to a four in one power cable, for example if you have four cameras then you will have two plugs to deal with one being the recorder and the other to power the four camera's. I have my system plugged into a Battery backup so if I loose power I dont lose recording time. Although Im not an electrician I do not believe that the system draws much power at all. Hope this helps

No. The camera needs a power source. Consider a small 12v solar panel & small 12v battery.

if you put 'chargeable' batteries in it you could charge them but outside of the camera. I don't believe there is anyway to have external power with this camera.

It's a camera with a standard BNC connector for video and standard 12 female power connector. My question to you is, why would you think it wouldn't work with your unit?

the camera will record while charging. I've used it to make a timelapse for several hours, recording (well taking pictures every 5 seconds) with the adapter plugged in, as the camera only has an autonomy of about two hours. The battery is internal and cannot be removed or replaced.

No. There is no external power source input to this camera. You have to keep the batteries charged. Odd they left that out.

Not sure whether it records while charging. It has to be charged via computer hookup. Must change out card after full. Not real fond of these camera recorders. Hard to tell if they are recording. And the download to computer after recording is extremely slow.

When the camera is plug to the 12V outlet, memory card is inside, you can charge while recording in 15 minutes segments, it will auto save and restart new files, over-write the oldest files when memory is full (Looping). Never out of juice and memory.

The answer is yes. Using the compact power adapter that comes along with the camcorder you can power the camera without affecting the battery. It is recommended that you use external power when playing back or editing using the camera screen itself. Also, if you are using the camcorder for live webcast or recording directly to a computer it's wise not to deplete the battery unnecessarily.
