can you wire cameras into 12v source?

The cameras are wireless but come with a cigarette lighter charging adapter with two connectors to allow charging of two devices at the same time

You can do that. However, please understand that there will be voltage drop along the wire and you may not get 12V to the converter. How much voltage drop it will be depends on the length and quality of the wire, also the power consumption.

you have multiple options. One of which is start/stop recording based on the external power. The camera only takes 5v USB power, which comes from the plug converted from the 12V.

You need two separate 12 Volts power sources, one for the camera as usual, one for the transmitter. Transmitter has two sockets to receive power, I used the one on the left side and it worked.

Swann website says it's a 12VDC camera. If your system is 24V, it may damage the camera. PS. Most consumer level cameras are powered by 12V.

The camera comes with a small adapter that is powered off of the 115 VAC system. This AC-powered adapter supplies 5 Vdc at 1.5 Amps, so it seems likely that any source of 5 Vdc at 1.5 A could power the camera.

Yes...I have 8 cams set up on a central power supply, 12vdc /5amp. Works great.

You have to get a 12 volt 2amp power supply and plug it straight into the camera. it will work great. if it don't, you have something wrong.

Most cameras will use less than a half an ampere (500 milliamperes) at 12 volts, so the power supply can handle up to 10 cameras. Check the camera specs for milliamperes and keep the total under 5000 for this power supply.

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.

If your camera has video output if it will work, but remember that you need a source of power for the monitor works with 12 Volts.

Hello, the camera can be powered by PoE or by the 12v power adapter that is provided in the packaging.

has the 12v standard connectors found on all other security cameras etc. I had one, it quit in 2 weeks :(

Yes cameras are powered by 12DC. The Cameras do not plug into the wall directly. 12DC power is delivered through the same cable(differnt conductor) that the video is on. Included in the kit is a large transformer or 2 depending on the number of cameras. Each transformer can power 8 cameras. Each cable has 2 connectors on each end. One for video and one for power. One the DVR end just plug the power connector into the transformer and the video plug into the DVR. Now on the other end you will have 12DC on the power plug to power the Camera.

Yes and no; you can run video (2 pair) with the use of a balun (ethernet to bnc adapter). The "no" is that you need power; so since ethernet cable is not rated to support 12 volts you will need to run utp or a 12 gauge rated cable (with the proper ends). Another solution is to find power near the camera (attic) and connect or add a power outlet to support the camera.

I assume you are talking about the backup camera wires? If so, any small gauge wire will do.

The answer is yes, but the installation is not just plug and play. you may need to cut the wire and idenfity the video+/video- wire and power/ground wire then connect individual wire to new camera.
