mikez 0 Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) I ordered two used Pelco CCC1370H-2's but they don't come with the converter so I don't know how to power these on. I'm using a 9 channel 12VDC power supply. What do I need to power these on? Are there cheap converters I can buy and where? Thanks Edited January 14, 2012 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeromephone 6 Posted January 12, 2012 What voltage do you need 24volt ac or 12 volt DC? You can get a converter to go from 24volt ac to 12 volt DC I am not familiar with units using 12vac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SEANHAWG 1 Posted January 13, 2012 you cant use a converter. Just get a 24 VAC transformer strong enough to power the 2. Probably 40 VA would be good enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Need an adapter that can plug into these. http:// http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?VISuperSize&item=220679684929 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted January 13, 2012 According to this doc: http://www.denpo.com.tw/products/cctv/CCC1370H-2.pdf that camera should support 24VAC... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikez 0 Posted January 13, 2012 I know it accepts 24vac but I need it to work on 12vdc. What kind of adapter do I need to use it with this 12vdc http://www.tradeage.com/sale/wholesale-100pcs-5-5x2-1mm-2-1-cctv-dc-power-plug-male-connector-ce491040 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted January 13, 2012 You have a 12VAC power supply, just use that. If it'll accept both 24VAC and 12VDC, it should work with 12VAC as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry, I don't know what I was talking about, but i have 12VDC psu. Then WHAT IS THE PROBLEM??? First you said: I ordered two used Pelco CCC1370H-2's but they don't come with the converter so I don't know how to power these on. I'm using a 9 channel 12VAC power supply. What do I need to power these on? Are there cheap converters I can buy and where? Thanks Then you said: Sorry, I need an adapter to go from 24vac to 12vdc. Now it's: Sorry, I don't know what I was talking about, but i have 12VDC psu. So which is it? The camera will work with all three voltages... if the camera has a barrel jack and you want to use one those barrel plugs, you don't need any adapter, just a pair of wires from the power supply to the plug. If the camera is like the one showed on the PDF, you don't even need the barrel - the wire ends just push into the spring terminals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SEANHAWG 1 Posted January 13, 2012 Yeah, ditch the 12V DC power supply, you cant make it work like that efficiently. Just go get you a cheap transformer, they are less than $15. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikez 0 Posted January 24, 2012 would this transformer work? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/764190-REG/Vitek_VT_24VAC_20_24VAC_Transformer_20VA.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
