I have one camera that needs 1A when info red lights are on. Can I connect two output together to get the desired Amps ?

This is something that could be done, but I would not recommended doing so. Each port is designed to support a maximum of 0.55 Amps draw and a total maximum draw for the entire output of 10 amps. If I needed the extra draw for that one camera I would connect it to its own power adapter, recommending a minimum 2A or 3A adapter. The lower the draw you place on a power adapter, the longer it will live. An ideal draw is 50% or less of rated capacity, 75% considered a maximum. Anything more than this you are stressing the components and will have a lower life expectancy, both the power supply and the connected devices. If things were manufactured the way they used to be (dating myself), everything had a large over design factor so the rating was actually 50% of the theoretical maximum. These days too many products no longer have this over design built in, unless you are talking about military or other specialized use products, at substantially higher cost. It is all about "cheap" while giving the illusion of large output. Do what you want, but please consider what has been stated here. Test your camera to determine its actual current draw, you might find it is substantially lower than rated, or not. Also remember however that draw will vary depending upon duty cycle and environmental temperature. Worth finding out exactly what your equipment uses in all scenarios. I am using this power box for a maximum of ten cameras (each rated at 0.5A) so as to not overload or stress any components. My two cents worth.

Yo can do this but it has to be A and C or B and D if I remember correctly. It's pretty clearly explained in the instructions that are included. And the power will be split between the two with no noticeable difference in the sound.

I have two cameras. You can set it up to automatically switch if you like or change it manually.

Yes, if you're just using one camera, just plug one wire to the wall outlet and the other to the audio/video input on the back of your TV. Then use your remote control to select the a/v input on your TV.

Yes you can. You can wire the camera through a on/off rocker switch. If you have a rear camera also installed there is a liquid crystal display monitor that has a V1 or V2 (view) switch and you can alternate between cameras as necessary.

I am sorry you can't. Only support 2 analog cameras and 2 ip cameras at the same time.

Make sure the power supply is connected to each camera. This should be near the receiver (the main box).

Yes. I have 2 cameras - 2 light switches - 4 switches. They all perform as expected.

I don't know but Radio shack like multiple output adapter could provide the solution. Polarity and and adapter size matching being your primary concern.

You probably could, but keep in mind all total shouldn't be more than 10A. I would measure the actual current of the device to see if it is really 1.5A. I have 900ma cameras and a 500ma illuminatior that total only used 500ma of power (measured) total. I think the plate rating sometimes is a little generous.

I personally haven't figured that out yet :/ I've been unpluging and repluging the rca's when I want to use my second camera...

Yes. I am running two amps in my system. you must split the RCA outputs with a Y (splitter) to get seperate channels for the amps. Works fine.

I am told that voltage and current must match. Check camera info and go from there.

Yea, you need a seperate cord for each camera (ensure that the cameras use a BNC connection). This particular cord has the BNC connection, and an extension for the power adapter, but it cannot support more than one camera at a time.

I don't think that will work. The system allows for only 4 cameras to be seen at a time. Poe switch provides only power not video. Thank you.

It only has one set of preouts but you could use a splitter. I've seen it done like that before to use two amps.

There are two output ports. One outputs 2.1 amps and the other outputs 1.0 amps.
