Hi All,
I had something strange happen to me lately. I ordered a rear view camera 12v car camera. I have plans on using the device in place of a doorbell so need to use a 12v transformer. I tried 3 different 110VAC to 12VDC transformers and none of them power up the camera but a backup UPS dual 6v battery which makes 12V in series does power up the camera.
One transformer rated at 12VDC, 5.0 Amps, 60 Watts.
Voltage reads 12.25VDC on a Voltmeter.
One transformer made for 9 indoor security cameras rated at 12VDC, 5 Amps (Max 1.1Amp/Channel)
Voltage reads 11.2VDC on a Voltmeter.
One transformer rated at 12VDC, 1.0 Amp, 20 Watts
Voltage reads 16.2VDC on a Voltmeter.
The Dual 6V Battery in Series
Voltage reads 15.29VDC on a Voltmeter.
What am I missing? How can I get the 12volt car camera to work indoors without using the backup battery.
(I have 2 of the same manufacturers camera and both are the same but I have another camera by a different manufacturer that works on an indoor transformer. This other camera does not have the option to aim the lens like the first model so I'd prefer not to use it.)
Thanks
