Hi,

I am working on a project for my computer science degree and have run into a problem.

My project is to control a small chicle over the internet. Currently I have it all working except the fact that I am unable to power my IP camera by a battery pack.

On the actually camera it states DC 5V and on the power adapter it states OUTPUT 5V===2000mA

This is what I have bought so far

Rechargeable batteries

If anyone has any ideas how i can get this IP camera running off batteries then please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

 

Some of your links are not working but I get the idea.
your ip camera may already have a 5V regulator built in, even tho the power adapter says OUTPUT 5V 2000ma
have you actually measured it's voltage output with a meter?

4 AA batteries are not enough to power the unit.
