Understanding Plug-in (Permanently Powered) Cameras

Some cameras connect via Osaio are designed to operate continuously using a direct power connection — these are called Plug-in Cameras or Permanently Powered Cameras.

💡 What Does “Permanently Powered” Mean?

A Permanently Powered Camera refers to a device that must stay plugged into a power source during operation.
These cameras are typically powered through a DC adapter that converts household AC power (110V–220V) into low-voltage DC power suitable for the camera.

This design ensures:

• Stable performance — no interruptions caused by low battery.

• Continuous operation — ideal for 24/7 monitoring and recording.

• Enhanced features — supports cloud storage, continuous video recording, and smart alerts without power limitations.

⚙️ How It Works

1. Plug the included power adapter into a wall socket (AC power).

2. Connect the adapter’s DC cable to your camera.

3. The adapter converts AC power into DC power, providing stable energy for continuous operation.
