Interference from Power Supply

Recommended Posts

I have a 18 path 12 v power supply box (1x 120v to 18x 12v). same as shown here http://www.ayagroup.com/product.php?productid=17140

 

I am getting video interference from this power supply.

 

If I run my cameras off of the 12v on my handheld tester I do not get interference.

 

I have tried two differnt style cables to connect the camera to the power supply 2-wire LVT cable and CAT-5. I was only using 5 feet of cable for testing and the power coming out of the power supply and the cable was arount 12.25v.

 

It it likely that the power supply is bad? or was I doing something wrong?

 

Thanks.

That looks like a cheap low quality switching power supply. My suspicion is you are picking up stray noise from poor filtering. Send it back and spend the money on a good one or go 24VAC.

If the cameras will work with 24VAC, then seriously consider going that route. It will save you headaches in the long run.

 

Best,
