Help with my Ivigil 540TVL

[badseed 0]

Hallo all.

 

I have the follwing:

 

Ivigil 540TVL 40M IR Day / Night 3.7~12mm Camera.

http://www.jmcsecurity.co.uk/proddetail.asp?prod=L601

 

I have a good quality shielded Video & Power Cable 15M

I need to ask what power supply is best needed to power this Camera?

The spec says its 820mA max.

 

Thanks for the help as im new to all this.

Hello Dave

 

Is it a 12v or 24v camera?

 

Probably 12v, so I'd use a 12v 1.5A PSU if it's got a max draw of 820mA with IRs on. Over 15m should be fine.

 

The company you bought from should confirm what you need anyway.

Thanks for the reply.

 

It has : IR On:820mA max, IR OFF: 230mA max

 

 

Thanks

Hi dave like keeps says a 12v 1.5amp power supply will do the job ...... if you give these people a ring they have them in stock.

part No 12v 5A PSU

The company I bought it from say : 12v 20a

 

Would this be OK ?

 

Thanks

20A or 2A? 2A (2000ma) would be more than enough for a single camera and would work fine.

In fact 1A should power that fine and be within its max current draw.

You can buy the plug in power supplies from almost anywhere these days.

You should de-rate these well below label specs. The aluminum capacitors inside are bare minimum for the job so running them close to spec rating will have a shorter lifespan. There's not much difference in prices on these solid state power supplies. A higher current rated power supply will necessarily have more output capacitors or a larger one with a heavier ripple current rating. I would go with like Rory says, 2Amps, even though the 1Amp will run the camera.

Thanks

 

Im guessing its 2A as i just jotted down what i was told over the phone

i.e 12Volt 2(zero)A

I normally use 1.5 or 2A anyway. Actually we use a 1.5A to run 4x 300ma (max) budget cameras, though If I had a choice it would be 2A.
