The provided cable is approximately 10 feet (3 meters) long. Therefore, it is recommended to place your Ola camera within 9.5 feet (2.8 m) of an electric outlet. To extend the range, you may use an extension cord (from the Ola adapter to the outlet). If you are plugging the power supply into an outdoor outlet (or to an extension cord), you will need to install a weatherproof casing/cabinet, as the adapter itself is not weatherproof.

Ola comes with a power supply that is compatible with any 100-240V electrical outlet.
