travis 0 Posted April 26, 2008 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andyscan 0 Posted April 26, 2008 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
travis 0 Posted April 26, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you would like more information on this unit please check our webpage or just shoot me a pm. Thanks, John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
