Hey, new here. I am trying to use a 12v power distribution box to power my surveillance system cameras. I have tested output voltage and am consistently getting 12.2v. I have tried Lorex and Zosi cameras, direct wired and using male pigtail. The cameras get power, because I can hear hear and see IR kick on and off. But I get no image. If I unplug power from distribution box then use supplied power supply everything works fine. 12v transformer is an amazon special. 30 amp with 18 fused outlets that are supposed to put out 1 amp a piece. Best I can tell the supplied power supply with cameras are also rated 1 amp. Is this an amperage problem? Also, per instructions, wired 3 of the outlets in parallel to up amperage and got no different result.

I took the power supply out and it is labeled 30 amps. But I don't have enough technical skill, or an ammeter, to check actual output amperage. I guess it can't be more than 1 amp because it appears that's what the fuses are labeled.
