hello... i have the altronix altv2416ul power supply (see picture)...i was testing it to make sure it works...so i plugged the wires in and plugged it to my bullet cam....once i powered it up, the bullet cam started smoking...i assume i lost a bullet cam...is this power supply to powerful?...im assuming P and N stands for positive and neutral ...i think i might have put the white/black wire on N and put the black wire on P...will that mess it up?? thanks in advance

yo... i like to, again, thank you guys for the support.....i will def consider everybody's opinion and figure out what will work best.... thanks again!

def a learning curve....and def a hobbyist!...got an email from the company i purchased it from they are going to replace it for me...

no, didnt by them on ebay....bought them from a website from china...i sent them an email saying they went bad....they say i have a one year warranty...we will see...

damn....check this out....i scanned the manual...i guess the manual gave me the wrong spec... is there anyway i can use the power supply for that last camera i have? unable to attach pic...check it out on my webserver: www.beatmanproductions.com/pic.jpg

here is the spec to the camera... http://www.acesuppliers.com/Supplier_Company/Bullet-Miniature-Camera_Product_Showroom_43077.html

well...two cameras gone...one left....tried to hook up the camera again to the power supply....its zapped it.....either i have a really cheap camera or my power supply is pushing too much power

yeah, i actually read the manual, but not too familiar with "power"...the manual says accepts DC 12V/AC 24V......but something went wrong with i powered it up to the power supply..... i do have a multimeter but dont have a manual for it.....its a greenlee digital multimeter...can i test the volts or whatever to see if its really 12 volts of power the power supply is pushing out?

sweet....ill def do that.... you guys have been a great help....... oh yeah, does anybody know why my bullet camera fried when i plugged it in?

ok..coo.. one more thing, is white positive and black negative?

i took a picture of it... from that picture you will see the plug i got from lowes.... also, should i use a 3 prong and attach the ground cable to it?

no, i had to get one from lowes and attach from the wires from the power supply

also, on the 2 prong plug i attached to the power supply, white is positive and black is negative? will that make a difference?

ok...ill give it a try ...i dont want to burn out another camera...thanks again!

i have a no name brand camera...but the manual says: accepts DC 12V/AC 24V

hello... got a question...on the picture below, can i cut the 12volt plug to expose the wires and extend it using maybe 22gauge wire?.... thanks in advance

thanks guys for the response....just ordered some....similar to the pic above...

thanks Scruit....does that extender have two wires at the end?

yeah, i went to radio shack today and didnt have what i was looking for....i figured if cutting the 12volt plug and connecting the power wire to it w/wire nut i can save a few bucks...just had to make sure if it would still work if i cut it off....
