SpyGuy10 0 Posted May 11, 2010 I know power supplies are not as sexy to discuss compared to new cam technology, but still an important part of the CCTV system. I'll be installing CNB dome cameras which are dual-voltage rated: 24VAC/12VDC. I was planning on going with 24VAC to minimize voltage drop along the siamese RG59/18ga cable. Any reason to use 12VDC instead? I don't think the CNB cameras (VBN-24VF or VCN-24VF) come with any power supplies. Can anyone confirm that? But even if they do, I would like to install a power distribution panel for the cams. I want surge protection and RF noise filtering, and individual fuses or circuit breakers on each output channel. So any recommendations for a 8-ch or 16-ch 24VAC power distibution panel? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted May 12, 2010 No, CNBs don't ship with power supplies. Pelco and Altronix both make power supplies with individually fused outputs. Some models also have self-resetting circuit breakers instead of fuses (very handy, especially if the PSU is in a hard-to-reach area). As far as surge suppression and filtering, that can all be done by plugging the unit into a surge power bar or even a UPS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
