jmc20000 0 Posted April 19, 2017 Hi all, I'm having a think about how to neatly route 12vDC inside two rooms to two outdoor cameras. Camera one is mounted up high, approximately level with the ground of the first floor so it's just a case of drilling a hole straight through from the outside to the inside. I have two ideas for this: a) connect a small DC socket/plug 1m extension lead to the camera with the other end free on the inside. I then just connect the 12v transformer socket end to this. It should work, but looks flimsy and unprofessional. b) as a) but connect the inside end of the extension lead to a wall mounted DC plug; I then just connect the socket of the DC transformer to this, looking far more professional. But so far, I haven't been able to find any panels which have a mounted DC socket. I thought there would be at least a panel with both a mains socket and a DC socket for a DC transformer to connect to. Camera two is mounted on the ground floor outside wall such that it's roughly midway on the inside ground floor wall. I'm thinking about drilling one hole straight through the first wall, then drilling another second hole into the second wall near the floor level near the power sockets. I then use a DC 3m extension lead to connect the camera on the outside to the inside like a)/b) above for the first camera. Thanks for any feedback and advice on my ideas and any suggestions in advance. Regards, jmc2000 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheF 0 Posted April 20, 2017 You could buy a regular panel, modify it to have whatever plugs you wish. There are plenty of webshops that offer connectors of all sorts. You could also go for option A, but putting all the connections in junction boxes. Something like this should suffice for outdoor use: http://media.rs-online.com/t_large/F7000802-01.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
