Can someone recommend a 12v outdoor rated power supply that works with this unit?

A couple of things here to say... This unit should come with a supply... Seems like mine did. On that note, the unit take 15 watts or a little less than 1.5 amps (18 watts). I would get a 12 volt 2 amp dc switching power supply with a 2.1 mm jack on it. You want your load to only be about 80% of your supply. Another advantage to a switching power supply is that when the load does not require the full power (day time IR LEDS are off) the power supply consumes less energy. I would suggest getting a bigger power supply and a splitter and hook up several ... A 5 amp supply show power 3 of them. If the power supply you received with the unit is only 1 amp, it's already under powered. A couple of things here to say... This unit should come with a supply... Seems like mine did.

you must attention to the amp requirement @12 volts you also must be carefull not confuse a 120 volt one with 12 volts battery dc one you can use any of the CCTV power supply's you must the power supply in cabinet like this one-http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000TBHBSO/ref=wl_mb_recs_2_title use this or find one like it but must be in a cabinet.

Go to Radio Shack, or simply take a power supply unit that comes with most camera's and just use the power side of the wire that connects to a standard camera. Problem solved : ) Dan

It's a good standard power supply that will power pretty much anything that runs on 12 vdc. It's always a good rule to use a power supply that's rated at least double the current load connected to it. In your case you would have plenty of reserve power to run some other things at the same time.

I'd recommend find a 300mA multivolt adapter ... this one can cause damage to your unit because it is less than 3 watt.

The power supply should be at least 300 watt's. Make sure the +12 volt rail is rated for a minimum of 18 amps This is very important.

Hi, I realize that this is an old post, but the power supply is a 12 volt 1 amp with a barrel connector. These can be found as generics or multi-application power supplies right here on Amazon or on eBay. Hope that helps! Best2u, Max4urmoney

It's made to run off a computer power supply, but any 12V power supply should do.Rated Voltage: 12V DCStart Voltage: 8V DCOperating Range: 8V~13.8V DCRated Current: 0.2 Amp @ 60℃ / 0.08Amp @31℃Rated Power: 2.4W @60℃ / 0.96W @31℃

I have 2 and use them as a 12 v power supply, one for my airstream camper and the other to power a 12 v boat winch mounted on a davit, have had no problems with either

According to the manufacturers documentation, minimum 600W power supply (with a minimum 12V current rating of 42A). Just search for the model number.

could you please check and tell me what's the rating for the external DC supply ? Vdc ? and current rating (mA)?appreciate your help.thx

it will work only if the 12 volt dc power supply outputs a 12 volts at 5 amps minimum

This unit is DC powered, so I'm assuming you are referring to a DC powered system where you are wiring directly to a 12V DC power source... try it!

According to the specifications power supply requirements are 12to 24volts DC/AC

The connectors are outdoor rated and have environmental seals. I simply plugged the power supply into an outdoor receptacle. Make sure you mount the control unit out of direct sunlight.

12 volts at 4-5 amps will work amazon has a power supply that does 12 volts at 7 amps cost about 7-8 $ that would work.

Mine did not come with a power supply. I haven't tried 12v, but it works with a 9v battery.

Consider using something like an APC uninterruptable power supply instead. This is not a good brand of inverter and it would require a constant connection to a 12 volt battery. The power supply, on the other hand, would only use batteries during a power outage.

I don't know the amps needed, I use one of the "booster" 12v units to power it without any problems.
