cachecreekcctv 0 Posted January 9, 2007 A friend of mine had installed several Extreme 46N's at his business a few years ago. He has purchased additional 12VDC IR illuminators. The cameras are operating on 24vac, but when I tried to switch them to 12vdc, they would not operate. I need to get these on 12vdc, if that is possible. All items were purchased already by friend, so I had nothing to do with purchase. Are these cameras "switchable"?? to 12vdc. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CollinR 0 Posted January 10, 2007 Keep the 24VAC whenever possible, use a 24VAC to 12VDC stepdown. IR and bullets is basically all I do at 12VDC anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cachecreekcctv 0 Posted January 10, 2007 Thanks!! Just found a bunch on Ebay. Never run into this situation before. I might have to build, for my friend who owns the business, a 24vac/12vdc panel, to integrate things if he decides to add more IR's. Thanks again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
