Mine are Unifi (using 2 LR routers- still to be installed) The 'flying saucer' lol I have one up 5m in the air already, that one is going at the gate, once I buy the metal pole and do all the installing required (its right at its limit, I tested it holding it up in the air at the gate on a broom...

correct, There are quite a few brands using either 24v or 48v, designed to run off POE (its a pain there are two standards) :-(

The mob that make my long range wifi routers have a 48v one that plugs into their 'combo' system (its a wifi router (long range) that can also have their solar controller (up to150w panel) and their camera, all running off a 48v battery bank- it allows you to monitor battery voltage etc as well...

That's exactly what I am doing at the front gate here- running a half km long power cable from the shed would be 'an issue' (thats how long my driveway is here lol)- local at the gate solar, battery and a long range wifi link back to the shed (it will run the gate opener as well, with a wifi...

You can easily make your own to measure the voltage, don't even need a soldering iron, just a small screwdriver... Get a plug and a socket (most are 2.7mm DC barrel connectors) with attached screw terminals, hook + to + and - to - on them and then plug it into the camera end, and use the screw...

I wouldn't recommend relying on the voltage drop along the power cable to drop it reliably, as the drop varies according to the current flowing through it (ohms law)- I would rise it up but only using a reg like that in my photo to regulate the voltage at the camera end (one like that that can...

5v, 12v, 24v, 48v- all available... Pro tip- on really long runs, feed it 24 or 32v at the power source end, and if you have a 12v camera, use a 'multivoltage in, 12v out' regulator between the power cables coming in, and the camera itself, that way you get a stable 12v regardless of loading on...

The OP didnt have that, one poster later on said he had done so (and I myself said that using a higher voltage supply at the feed end wasn't exactly uncommon)- but a professional wouldn't have done as the poster in question did (ie try to compensate for the line voltage by trying to supply a...

SOME (very few) had regulated outputs most were very basic circuits-and any minor fluctuations on the AC input was reflected on the output... A 12v switchmode wouldn't be at 15v in the first place- only linear PSU's exhibit this behaviour- a switchmode loaded and unloaded voltages are...

You have (depending on the camera in question) up to double the amperage of the camera current drawn... feeding the IR illumination diodes- thus the current is far higher when they are on... more current = higher voltage drop ie less voltage to power the camera... (the pros on REALLY long runs-...

12v are common in the 'consumer level' 'el cheapo's- but there are available 5v, 12v, 24v, and 48v ones also available- plus of course the pro's would know to use a higher voltage at the feed end and then use a regulated feed circuit at the camera end... ;-)

You are assuming that I have little to no knowledge of electronics... you know what they say about assuming something... As for the camera seeing an overvolt condition- well that would only happen if the PSU was overvoltage to begin with-so it is an inappropriate PSU to begin with- it would...

The easiest would be a wired system (4 and 8 camera DVRs are common)- BUT 100m is a long run for the 'premade' cables, you will have voltage drop issues at that range... I would suggest using just a premade video cable (BNC connectors are the most common), and use a separate heavyduty fig 8...

That was true with the old style linear power supplies, but I haven't seen one of those new in a couple of decades... It isn't true with switchmode PSU's however, which have been the default power supplies since the 1990's/2000's- anything with that 100-240v 50/60 hz label is a switchmode and...

My yahoo account (had it since the last millinium !!! :-O has as standard, 'temporary' emails that send any messages to my main account until it runs out...

I went with Dewalt (simply because all my tradies tools are Dewalt lol- so chargers and batteries aren't an issue) and having owned several (all petrol ones of various brands before this- another Aussie bushie here lol), I went in thinking they would be 'toys' limited to small branches and the...

Here's an idea to get extra weight onto the rear- add another beam on top of the 'rear' ie right hand side posts but on top of the cross beams (the cantalevered ones) Use the heaviest/densest wood you can, that would not look out of place, and increase the downforce on the rear posts ie...

That's what I had at a rental- obviously couldn't attach to the walls, so had free standing workbench, but the floor was rather unlevel to say the least (about 6cm difference along a 3m bench!) and the workbench I bought (secondhand) had 3x3 legs, all level... I just drilled and tapped into the...

📆 Camping in a Ford Escort sized van is.... um... ambitious.... I couldn't even lie down in one LOL Cute but they would have one big (lol) advantage- get bogged, two people can lift it up and carry it out LOL :-O

I'd second the idea of checking out a pillow block bearing- huge range of sizes and looks like it would bolt straight up with the right measurements...
