Box psu

   ( >> )

Hi all!

I have 5 infared cameras using 5 1.2a seperate psu's. I'd like to tidy the installation up by fitting a single (LOCKABLE) boxed psu.

Most box psu's I've seen are .5amp output,is it a simple case of doubling up on the outputs to give 1 amp, or is it , ie, a 6amp psu will give 6amps across the 9 outlets so totalling 5 amps draw with my camera's connected?

The camera specs are :

IR x 49ea-CC70CSHRX-4IR

Sony EXVIEW HAD CCD
Fixed focal 4.3mm, 8mm or 12mm lens lens info
0 Lux at no illumination
850nm (long range) IR LEDs x 49ea
12VDC/ 1A required for high power IR

TIA :)

Or how about 3x 2amp supplies fitted into an enclosure. It looks tidy
and if a supply dies then you still have some cameras running?

Good shout for the enclosed box.

I think I'll buy an adaptable box and put a 5amp regulated psu in it with a 5 way 2.1mm splitter.This way I'm sure each camera is going to get 1 amp.

This way only needs 1 outlet,thats what I'm trying to free up.

Thanks.

We have a DC-9 which is 1AMP per channel constantly and has fuses just in case anything pops! If you would like more information on this unit please check our webpage or just shoot me a pm.

Thanks,
