Description

Black Box PS012 Surveillance Power Supply

Overview

The Black Box PS012 is a 12VDC, 5A power supply designed to provide stable and reliable power for surveillance equipment. This unit is critical for deployments where consistent power is required to maintain system uptime and prevent data loss. It is suitable for powering cameras, network switches, or other low-voltage DC devices within a security system, ensuring operational integrity in demanding environments.

Compatibility

This power supply is compatible with any surveillance device requiring a 12VDC input with a maximum current draw of 5 Amps (60 Watts). It is commonly used with Black Box LES300 series cameras and other IP cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), and network infrastructure components that specify 12VDC power input. Verify your device's power requirements before deployment.

Installation Notes

Ensure the total current draw of connected devices does not exceed the 5A (60W) rating of the PS012 to prevent overload. Use appropriate gauge wiring for the distance and current to minimize voltage drop. The unit requires a standard AC power outlet for input. It is designed for indoor use in a controlled environment.
