Des anyone know what would happen if I put 12v dc to the camera instead of 9v

You may burn it out! try it though curiosity killed the cat but satisfaction brought it back!

I pu 12volts to it and the distance tripped along with the video quality, now you might recive diffeant results. you could burn it up. mine works fine try at your own risk.... you have been warned

I don't understand the question, My Camera emits IR using a 12 volt transformer but some camera systems use 24 volts. All of the transformers connect to standard 110 volt AC.

The 12volt external battery will run your camera and video .your battery's run your settings such as date and time. I don't think it really converts it because even with the 12 volt battery connected you still need your c battery's for the camera to work. But your c battery's will last a lot longer, with the 12 volt connected. Hope this is helpful

The unit is 12v DC at 1000ma. I've used it on camera batteries of different type with no problems.

This isn't quite the camera I purchased but, I use my mini cameras with this 12v battery pack.( DC 12V Portable 9800mAh Li-ion Super Rechargeable Battery Pack ) and am very happy with the results. It operates the camera all day. It can operate from 9 to 12 volts successfully.

Well, the power port on mine is fluctuating between 11 and 17 VDC. I assume it's designed for 12 VDC cameras.

Yes, I power mine with an external lithium ion battery pack which lists it's output at 9-12v, the label on the unit says 10.5VDC. I use this with my camcorder to tape youth soccer games, and keep the external battery pack in my backpack which I hang on my tripod, so I don't have the additional weight of a battery hanging on the back of the screen, which is mounted on an articulating arm. Any 9-16VDC source should work, as long as it can supply enough current too.

it just needs 110V-240 AC power , we provide the power adapter , which will turn the AC power into DC 12V /1A to camera

Yes. It comes with an extra female connector with red and black lead pigtail. So you can hook it directly to a 12 dc battery. Just make sure ur camera can see in this 940mm wavelength. I was expecting more illumination. Then realized my camera didn't perform as well as I had expected.Good luck.

There are apparently people using this attached to a 9v battery brick and using it without problem. Meanwhile, someone put a volt meter on Sony's own AC adapter and it seemed to deliver 8.4v (despite saying 7.6 on the label). I'm under the impression these cameras can handle a range of acceptable voltage.

I looked at the power supply for my foscam camera and it puts out 5VDC@ 2000mA or 2A. I looked at the first alert camera and it runs on 5V. I assume DC. Now, if your camera requires it at 2A it should work if the plug will fit. I am guessing that it will but that is just a guess.

The cam needs 12V DC. The little brick power supply uses house current and produces 12V DC

What are the volts and amperage listed on your power adapter? Did you order it for this camera or just using a generic 12 volt adapter?

Hey tick, my camera's are hard wired, which means I have to power them up with a 12v power supply (which was included). The wireless systems, a battery will be the power for the camera, and the base unit for most will be your 12v power supply or however the manufacturer sets the system up with. Basically with electronics is if its doing something, it needs power to do it. Same like us, we need food. However technology today uses alternate energy, but I'm getting off course so I'll end here. Hope I answered your question.The systemas a whole, I feel I got a lotta bang for the buck without spending a thousand. Zmodo support is excellent.

Absolutely not. You most likely will end up frying your camera, the power supply or both. Look for a more heavy power supply that can support 1500ma. It might be more expensive now, but in the long run you will be happy you did.

You can use the following power options:1) Standard 12VDC 1A power supply with 2.1 mm positive center plug (standard on these power supplies)2) POE switch, which powers the camera through the Ethernet connection3) POE injector, which plugs into power mains and plugs into both the switch and the camera EthernetThe camera has two pigtails: one 12VDC jack and one RJ45 jack. Either one can power the camera.

You need to use the DC power adapter. The camera does not have its own internal battery.
