Sunnyday4444 0 Posted April 19, 2010 Can anyone please tell me the short term or long term events. I installed a power supply that could be switched to either 12 or 24 and installed some 24 volt cameras to the power supply, not realizing it could be switched either way. I focused cameras, but not sure if the setting is on 12 or 24v? what are the long term short term effects? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Soundy 1 Posted April 20, 2010 It really depends on the cameras. If they're working, chances are they're designed for dual-voltage anyway. Some (mostly older) cameras support 24VAC only, and won't work at all on DC at any voltage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
