Dumb I know, but would a Wii power supply work ok? 12v 3.2a

Recommended Posts

I need another power supply for 3 bullet ir cams, 1@ 10', 2 @ 75'... Figure I could use a 12v 3.2a Wii power adapter I have..

 

Thanks!

Im using an old laptop 2A power supply I got from a clients bad laptop one time, to power an Extreme CCTV EX26LED, a TDN IR bullet (with IR disabled as using the EX26LED), a Color Bullet, a BW bullet, and a Color IR bullet. No issues .. just check the current draw of all cameras you want to connect to it. Although at the most even if they are big TDN IR bullets they should draw no more than 550-1000ma each, unless they are Extreme cameras with 300'+ of IR and maybe 150 LEDs and dual color and BW cameras .. then perhaps they would draw 2A each at night when using 12VDC.

I had a 1000ma 15.9v hooked up, but it wont run more than 1 cam... Not enough room in the junction box for 3 adapters...

 

Will try the wii...

The pole on the road has 4 of the same cams running fine on a factory supplied 3a supply.

 

WHAT DOES "Switchable" mean on the factory adapter? I googled but nothing....
