Sony SSC-DC14 Camera DC conversion?

Recommended Posts

I was given some Sony SSC-DC14 cameras with auto iris lens. We would like to utilize these cameras on our 12vDC buss. THis would allow operation during power failures. Can these SSC-DC14 camera be converted to 12vdc, like the SSC-DC-10?

Might be, if you're electronically competent enough to open them up and hack the internal power supply...

 

You could give them the appropriate 24VAC supply plugged into an off-the-shelf small-office-type UPS... or a better idea might be to just swap them for some 12VDC cameras. If I had a bunch of equivalent 12VDC cameras to offer, I'd swap in a second - I find 24VAC to be less problematic overall, less worry about voltage drop over long runs, and far less chance of getting ground loops, especially when using them with baluns.
