leeroy Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 i have just bought some sony cameras that require 24vac power, that require 2.5 watts to operate. would a power adaptop that outputs 24vac at 500ma be ok or not?, i was just going to use a standard adapter for about a fiver. if this is not powerful enough, does anyone know wheere i can get one that is powerfull enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 yes it should be fine, it will want about 100mA (well 104) but a poor power supply can damage a camera and can certainly affect picture quality. You sure its AC? James securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

hpotter Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Think James was wondering if the PSU you have is 24v ac, not the camera. I might be wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james.wilson Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 yes it was the psu lol many elcheapo 24v dc psu are actually 30ish to 22v depending on load. But still DC.
