Q: How long does the charge last on the wireless XCam?
A: The Xcam comes with a electrical plug that you plug into an electrical outlet and that is how it receives it’s power. “Does this still make it a wireless camera?” you may be asking? Absolutely! The term wireless references the fact that the signal from the camera is sent wirelessy to the receiving device, not the fact that the camera uses a cable for electrical plug-in.
