How do the cameras charge null

The cameras do not have a recharge feature. Each camera uses 4 cr123 type batteries. I have had mine up and running for 2 months and the batteries still have 95% of life or better.

They don't charge you have to buy new batteries, but they are inexpensive on google

If they don't plug into anything at all, how would they ever be recharged???? They must be replaced when they run down. Had you read all the other questions you would have gotten the answer sooner than this! Personally, I can't see why they don't have a jack on the cameras that would allow a DC power supply type "brick" to be used to power the unit (one of the correct voltage, of course!). I can see where an outside unit would have to be battery operated, or wiring to power them would have to be installed, but one that is INSIDE the house COULD be powered by house current thus eliminating the constant need to replace expensive SPECIAL batteries (C-123) 3 Volt X 4 per camera. So, until they address this problem, I won't be buying them! Without having one to open up to see how the batteries are wired.....all 4 in series for 12V, or 2 sets of 2 in series in parallel for 6V, or all 4 in parallel for 3V. If the power goes out, like in stormy weather, being battery operated, the cameras would still work, but the base unit wouldn't have power, nor the router, which means no Wi-Fi either, so the system couldn't access the "cloud" to save anything, so being battery operated is not the solution for power outages, just being mounted to the outside of your house or garage where there are no outlets !
