What am i supposed to do for a power source? Does not come with plug or DC adaptor. Just a black and red line. If i want to hook it up to a cctv?

Yellow is video , white is audio and red is power source. Any ac power converter that converts ac to 9 or 12 volts should work. Make sure the male out put jack is same size as female input. Hope this helps. Check amazon for power converter. They're not to expensive

It uses a conventional DC power source used by most 12V security cams. Example - http://www.amazon.com/HQ-Cam-Accessory-Power-Adaptor-Listed-Regulated/dp/B00L2H8Q7O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1419955940&sr=8-1&keywords=security+cam+12v+500ma+power+adaptor

Jonathan I believe that this camera is designed for use with a 12V DC system, hence the red wire would be the positive and the black one ground. I believe you will have to come up with a 12V transformer of some kind for power before you can even hope to this thing to work. Again I'm not positive on this since I could never get the thing to work satisfactory. I returned it to Amazon. Hope this helps.

12volt DC cigarette lighter plug, or tie in to an existing positive and negative wire nearby.

do you have power going to the camera and if no you need to power it with the power cable that came with it if you are using cat5e to plug it in the use one set over wires top power it there is a adaptor you can buy to do this

You cannot, that port is basically there to charge a USB device, not power the amp. It requires a 12 Volt 2 amp DC power supply. You can buy an amp that comes with it, or you can buy it separately. You can also buy a battery (search for 12V CCTV battery).

I'm sorry Bonnie, but for some reason my message to you got cut off so here is the most important part for you. I also use it for home surveillance. The short answer to your question is NO! you cannot connect an external power supply to these cameras. Hope this was of some help. Pete

Mine came with "Foxlink" AC/DC adaptor. Input 100V~240VAC. Output 12VDC at 2.0Amp. Looks like a laptop charger. The DVR has two jacks. Input is for the power supply and a second identical jack which outputs 12VDC to supply power to an external camera. Any power supply with 12VDC @ 2.0Amps will work. Just need correct tip. Radio Shack would be first stop or electronics stores if looking for replacement.

I would recommend visiting your local electronics store and asking them to show you a power adapter. something that will convert the voltage. this may be known as a voltage converter or voltage adapter. The best thing to do would be bringing the unit to the store so they can view the plug that it comes with. there are many adapters available. some are made specifically for certain types of plugs. if there is anything else, please let us know.

It's a standard CCTV power cable. Just plug it into where you would for your camera then connect the RCA into your DVR to get the audio work.

You don't need a router for a CCTV camera. Only IP cameras meed a router or a switch. These plugs just let you use Cat5 (computer) cables as an extension cord. Each of these plugs have a CAT5 end and a power plug end. You connect the power plug into your camera power jack then the CAT5 end into a Cat5 cable. The other end of the cat5 cable into CAT5 end and the power jack into your camera power supply. The plugs have RJ45 ends with a split off power jacks. Make sure the power jacks are the correct size for both your camera and power supply. These plugs injects power onto the Cat5 cable. If your camera uses 12V and you are only going a short run like 25-30 feet a 12V power supply should work. The longer the cat5 run the less voltage you get on the other end. So if you use 12V and a 200 foot run you might get 5 volts at the camera end. You would have to use a larger power supply for a long run. There are sites on the web that can explain it better then I can. So I guess to answer your question Yes you can power a CCTV camera with these with the right connector. I don't think you can send video over that cable though. I believe CCTV uses coax. I mostly replace CCTV camera with IP cameras they are cheaper and you can access the camera for a smart phone remotely. You would have to check with the Camera Manufacturer. I am running IP Foscam cameras.

this power supply will work: VideoSecu Security Camera Power Supply 12V DC 500mA Regulated CCTV Switching 100V-240V AC to DC 2.1mm x 5.5mm Plug Power Adapter PW12500RS B0V Even if you find one that only provides 300 mA still will work. Make sure the plug is like the one described here. Good luck.

Most likey the line going to the camera from the contoler is compromised an not getting power(low voltage).it is the same camera I'm thinking of the Scott 24 volts for power 2 lines. Hoekstra video need to have at least two more lines going for the controller positive and negative check thatI would start with the plug and work my way up to the camera

Better to use a bigger power supply box, as this one (it supplies up to 2Amp per channel): http://www.amazon.com/Power-Supply-Security-Cameras-LISTED/dp/B005FSUQ88/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1361316816&sr;=1-4&keywords;=cctv+power+supply+box

Your power supply has to have a 12 volt round coaxial power outlet port - which is hard to find. I received mine and cannot use it because I can't find a power supply.

I am not sure how it works? It looks like to me it has to be hooked into a power source somehow. I could use some help here as well.How do you hook it up?

It should come with a standard power plug. If not, you may need to send it back. Mine works great.

I would advise you plug this in somewhere that is securely inaccessible, either have it directly feeding inside your home or some kind of box by the camera with all wiring covered and out of reach, don't want someone walking by out of sight of your camera, pulling the plug or snipping the cable and disabling your security.

It requires a 12 V DC power supply which usualy comes with cameras bought at Amazon, If not they are only about $5.00 on line PS: Last thing you want to do is connecting this camera directly to a 120V AC outlet (it will fry the camera )

I have some of these assemblies, but the item you reference doesn't meet the need you mentioned. These plugs are 2.1 mm x 5.5 mm assembled with 36" 22 AWG wire. If you want longer, heavier wire you might need to get something like "Gino 10 Pcs 2.1x5.5mm Male Jack DC Power Adapter for CCTV Camera" and wire it yourself.
