If I buy several, can I use Ezdiyworld-8Ch CCTV Security Camera Power Supply Output 12VDC 5Amp or something similar?Thank you.

Yes...I have 8 cams set up on a central power supply, 12vdc /5amp. Works great.

Most cameras will use less than a half an ampere (500 milliamperes) at 12 volts, so the power supply can handle up to 10 cameras. Check the camera specs for milliamperes and keep the total under 5000 for this power supply.

has the 12v standard connectors found on all other security cameras etc. I had one, it quit in 2 weeks :(

The SDC-5340BCD pack of cameras use a BNC connector for the video only feed and a DC coaxial cable for power. From what I can tell the SME_2200 system does have BNC connectors on "video in" 5-8 but there are no DC coaxial connections. To answer your question, yes you could use a separate 12v power supply and make them work, but no they will not work, as is, out of the box. Also keep in mind that the SDC-5340BCD pack of cameras are video only if you are needing to have an audio feed.

Make sure you also buy the CCTV CCD Camera LED Board Single Head 2 Pin Connector Power Cable 5pcs by Gino or you will have a lot of trouble connecting to it. The cable assembly plugs right into it. You connect the red wire to + 12 Volts and the black wire to ground. Alternatively, you could buy a 12v power supply and connect the cable assembly to it.

Yes. All Foscam Cameras that I have seen all use the same power supply connector. This poe kit even comes with adapters to change the 3.5mm x 10 plug to a 6mm plug, but you will not need them.

The power supply is a small 110v AC to 8volt DC converter. The plug that goes to the camera line is a very small barrel connector with positive on the inner core and negative on the outer. The power supply is labeled as 200 mA output at 8VDC. I hope this helps answer your question.

I'm sorry Bonnie, but for some reason my message to you got cut off so here is the most important part for you. I also use it for home surveillance. The short answer to your question is NO! you cannot connect an external power supply to these cameras. Hope this was of some help. Pete

Yes, I power mine with an external lithium ion battery pack which lists it's output at 9-12v, the label on the unit says 10.5VDC. I use this with my camcorder to tape youth soccer games, and keep the external battery pack in my backpack which I hang on my tripod, so I don't have the additional weight of a battery hanging on the back of the screen, which is mounted on an articulating arm. Any 9-16VDC source should work, as long as it can supply enough current too.

Hi Eric, I would find a better power supply, we installed 6 of these and 3 went out in the first month, they also onlyput out about 900ma per zone, we replaced them all with 12v 2amp single transformers on a power strip!We also only had 4-5 dome IR cameras per power supply. Rich

http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/Audio-Surveillance-Microphone-p/mic-cctv-02.htm that link as instructions and a mic compatible to this dvr but any mic should be fine that that has its power supply.

No. You would not use ready made cables with this type of power supply. You would run Siamese cable from the camera to dvr and power supply. On the power supply end, you put the black/red wires to the screw terminals and put a bnc connector on the video and connect that to the dvr. On the camera end you terminate a jack on the power wires and a bnc for video. Amazon sells the 12 volt adapters for the camera end. This is a better way to power your cameras.

It uses a standard 12 volt CCTV security camera power supply that plugs into the camera. The other end of the wire you plug into your standard 120v outlet

Yes, there are three identical A/C power supply (Rated 110-220V 50/60Hz). Two for the cameras and one for the monitor.

It needs 12 volts DC from a mains adapter (wall-wort). A battery would be quickly exhausted. The power supply could be close to the camera even it the monitor or DVR isn't. BTW: It's an excellent camera with impressive low light sensitivity.

It comes packaged with it's own power supply but should work with any standard CCTV camera power supply which should all be 12V.

This is something that could be done, but I would not recommended doing so. Each port is designed to support a maximum of 0.55 Amps draw and a total maximum draw for the entire output of 10 amps. If I needed the extra draw for that one camera I would connect it to its own power adapter, recommending a minimum 2A or 3A adapter. The lower the draw you place on a power adapter, the longer it will live. An ideal draw is 50% or less of rated capacity, 75% considered a maximum. Anything more than this you are stressing the components and will have a lower life expectancy, both the power supply and the connected devices. If things were manufactured the way they used to be (dating myself), everything had a large over design factor so the rating was actually 50% of the theoretical maximum. These days too many products no longer have this over design built in, unless you are talking about military or other specialized use products, at substantially higher cost. It is all about "cheap" while giving the illusion of large output. Do what you want, but please consider what has been stated here. Test your camera to determine its actual current draw, you might find it is substantially lower than rated, or not. Also remember however that draw will vary depending upon duty cycle and environmental temperature. Worth finding out exactly what your equipment uses in all scenarios. I am using this power box for a maximum of ten cameras (each rated at 0.5A) so as to not overload or stress any components. My two cents worth.

The power source could be any rechargable 12v battery. The big issue would be the DVR. If you want to try a body cam, I am testing a VCC-003-MUVI. I hang it on a buttonhole with a section of paperclip. The day quality is very good. Night inside quality depends on available light.
