andy jinks 0 Posted April 30, 2006 Hi, Currently we are using DA397 and DA665/8 (12V, 0.5A, 8 ports, Dantech from Gardiner Security). It is a very good product. However, we have a number of incidents where the fuses were blown and we had to send expensive engineer down to just change 1 fuse. We are wondering if there is a more customer friendly power supply out there. We are looking for these additional features, - A separate compartment where the customer can have easy access to them (without have to unscrew and next to the live wires) - Individual led light for each of the 8 output, and ideally can be seen by the customer from the outside without opening the box. - 12V regulated power. - It does not have to be wheather-proof, as we only use it in indoor environment. Any help would be very very much appreciated. Many thanks, Edward Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simon woo 0 Posted April 30, 2006 0.5A how many cameras do you power from this ? and what is the camera draw of each camera, if you have 8 cameras at 200ma (most average internal fixed dome) then no way is 0.5A enough, i bet the PSU are running hot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
