Powers Supply Amperage

Recommended Posts


Is it  necessary to use all 3 pairs of remain wires in cat5e cable for the power supply
as shown in this diagram?
 The cameras are just a few metres from the DVR and the cat5e cable is about 12 to 15 metres long

Does anyone know what amperage powers supply is required to power two of these cameras?

The manual is silent on this issue.

.I tried using this 2.5 amp. power adapter splitter to power both cameras.
However, I noticed that I am getting   ground loop problems.
When I used two separate power supplies the ground loop problems stopped.
Are these power splitter power adapters any good?
 
On another note, I noticed is that the guy who installed the other 5 cameras used an
“EPCOM DC ADAPTOR MODEL PS120DC4C” power supply 5 AMPS
 Although the adapter says 4 channels, he doubled the connection on one terminal to 
accommodate two cameras on that single terminal. Is this normal?
