Power Supply

Power supplies, splitters and connectors to power cameras, recorders and security equipment.

What you'll find in this collection

• 12 V DC power supplies: from 2 A for a single camera, up to 10 A and 120 W to power several from one point.
• Multi-output switching power supplies: 12 V, 5 A models with 4 independent outputs, designed for installations with several cameras.
• DC power splitters: 1 input to 5 outputs, to distribute power from a single supply.
• DC connectors: male and female 5.5 × 2.1 mm, with screw terminals or twisted-pair tails, to finish the installation without soldering.

How to size it: add up the consumption of every camera that will hang off the supply and add 30% headroom. A power supply running at its limit is the most common cause of cameras that reboot on their own at night, right when the infrared LEDs kick in and current draw goes up.

For installations that can't afford an outage, take a look at the UPS units.
