Hi all, I have made the following thing. The idea is to run a CCTV camera with 1 additional IR-LED.
Here is what i did. A transformer is plugged in the 240V. It outputs 9V, 1A. This goes to the wireless camera. This works! I actually split the main cables, with the idea to power the LED. Since i wasnt sure how much light i needed, i put a pod instead of the fixed resistor. The LED/pod work on its own. However, together the camera works, but the LED not.
Should this work?
PS. I might have burned through my LED at this stage....
