aibudo 0 Posted January 21, 2016 What is the current capacity of the power supply? With 16 camera's I would use a 20amp supply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jjung0920 0 Posted January 21, 2016 Lorex's package has 2.4amp for 8 cameras. It has two of them for 16 cameras Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aibudo 0 Posted January 22, 2016 That is absolutely not enough. That is only 300ma per camera. When the IR's turn on (night time) the current will be at it's maximum and worse case. I wouldn't do less than 5A for 8 camera's. Don't know what the length of your camera runs are either, but long runs can cause issues also. I would start with larger power supplies or 2 more small one's like you have and only 4 camera's on each one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
