Great Idea to Power Up To 9 Surveillance Security Cameras from 1 Power Source!!!
I currently have 4 high quality Wi-Fi enabled PTZ HD surveillance cameras. They were all operating on their own AC adapter source providing 12 volts DC to each camera. I refuse to use POE, Power Over Ethernet type cameras. Most often due to the extremely thin wiring within an ethernet cable, a power booster that injects 12 volts into the ethernet cable at the midpoint may be required, which is too much trouble, and doesn’t always help to alleviate the drop in amperage to the cameras. While voltage may be at or near the 12 volts needed to power up the camera, most often there isn’t enough amperage to make the cameras operate properly, especially at night when the camera may be in the IR mode and draws more power for use with the IR LED lights on that are needed to illuminate the area the camera is covering.Since I use Wi-Fi enabled cameras, I still had to run individual quality power supply cables to each camera, rather than an ethernet cable. Looking at one of the photos I posted, you can see the clutter from what used to be the 4 individual 110/12V power supplies, 1 for each camera. I am happy to say those power supplies and both power strips they were plugged into are now GONE.I obtained the 8 camera capable power supply from The Real HD Store. Although I am currently using only 4 cameras, I will be adding several more as I live on a corner lot and want camera coverage for the rear portion of my property, so this power supply enables me to expand without having to add anymore standalone adapters.Power Supply came with everything I needed to get me started except for the Male DC Power Pigtail Cables, which I purchased separately right here on Amazon. Installation was easy. I installed the power pigtails first, mounted the power supply on the wall, then slipped the power cables for each individual camera through the holes on the side of the cabinet made after removing the two slugs, and installing the supplied rubber grommets in the holes that protect the cables and keep them from being damaged. Once the cables were installed and secured, I installed the supplied 110 volt power cord, plugged it into the outlet right below the left bottom of the power supply cabinet, then turned the power switch mounted on the left side of the circuit and terminal board and ALL of the cameras came alive and have been working fine for over a week now.When you have plugged in the 110 volt power cord to a live outlet, and haven’t yet turned on the power supply, the Red LED on the front left side of the closed cabinet door will turn on, letting you know there is AC voltage to the power supply. After turning on the power supply, the Green LED light will turn on, letting you know the power supply is up and running. The Red LED light continues to stay on when the Green LED power on light illuminates.I have done several checks on the power supply, opening the cabinet door to see of there is any heat buildup and so far it’s cool inside the cabinet. Not cold, just cool, but definitely not hot. I would not recommend mounting this power supply outdoors, especially where it may be exposed to direct sunlight or even rain. Mounting outdoors puts your power supply and your security cameras at risk of being turned off by an intruder.Overall, I am extremely happy with this power supply. It is very well made and will hopefully provide my cameras with years of trouble-free power, even continuing to work as cameras are replaced with more advanced models in the future.

Overall, a great product
This is a review of the 8 Channel 9 Port High Power Security CCTV Camera Power Distribution Box 12V DC 10 Amp. This is a very well made distribution center. The enclosure is heavy, and solid. It has a lock and comes with two keys. Also included is the detachable power cord. There are two led lights indicating AC/DC power. Overall, this is a great product. I just want to point out a couple of issues that I found. First, is about security. The box locks, which is good, but the power cord can be easily unplugged from the outside, which is not so good. However, you could mount this unit in an area that is difficult to access, or hide it, for better security. Second, the connection ports are pin/screw type which means you have to connect bare wires to each one. My security cameras all use BNC/barrel type connectors, so it would have been nice to have corresponding 5.5×2.1mm barrel connectors inside the box. We are constantly building, and upgrading our security system, and will probably mount this unit near the monitoring area. We also have a bunch of barrel connectors that we can splice in, so the above issues won’t affect us much. If you need to splice the 12 volt plugs in, then Amazon sells 10 pairs of pigtail connectors for under 10 dollars. If the power cord was hard wired, and the power interface had a barrel plug option, I would give it five stars, because it is so well constructed, and has a lot of great features. I recommend this, depending on your specific intended application.

9 Port Version – not perfect but seems pretty decent
The case feels pretty solid, stamped metal just like it looks in the pic. All my cameras draw around 200mA max so I only tested this at 2.8A (4.5 ohm resistor as a load). I tested this with the load on a single channel which is rated for 1A but the over current never tripped. The resistor I was using is really only good for about 10W so I was only turning it on for 10s at a time so maybe that just wasn’t long enough.The power looked fairly clean, it overshoots to about 17V at start-up then undershoots to about -12V. This isn’t great and if it were a bench supply I’d give it 1 star. But it’s not like your are turning this off and on all of the time so the cameras won’t see these voltages very often. Also the long wires between the camera and supply might have enough inductance to filter this out. Once it’s on the power looks really good for what it is, about +/- 150mV of noise. The DC output was just over 12V, 12.3V I think (didn’t think to get a good pic of that).It comes with a couple of grommets and has knock outs on both sides and the top.

I’d like a little higher max amps
For the past few years I’ve been putting up RGB LEDs on our house for Christmas and just pulling off an awkwardly hanging supply. This thing gets me looking all fancy with a nice box mounted on the wall keeping things out of the weather and keeping small animals away from wires. It’s a pretty plain box with sturdy enough gauge steel and adequate venting. A good coat of nice flat paint too. The included power cord goes in the side but I opted to use a little longer one to get it placed right where I want. It’s just the standard PC power cord so they’re easy to find. I just screwed on the wires for my light controller and hit the power switch then we were off and running. I did test the output and it came a hair high but probably fine especially after a little voltage from from load. If you care there is an easily accessible adjustment on the supply and it got things right at 12. I would like to see this be set up for a little higher per-channel load as 1A isn’t a ton of headroom for LED strips and sometimes I just don’t want to do extra runs of supply cables. For now it is working but more would be better. I like that they include power indicators on the outside and they do well telling me that there is both power and the output is turned on. Functionally it works great and I’d recommend it.

Great for analog surveillance system backup power
I requested the Real HD 8 Channel 9 Port High Power Security CCTV Camera Power Distribution Box to be a backup power source option should my current power box fail. I would have preferred 2A per channel power capability but the 1A provision should be adequate in a failure situation. I recommend having one of these, just in case.

Keeps the honest honest
Good power panel for smaller applications. Power provided is good and stable.Comes with two grommets for protecting cables after opening the appropriate knockout.Overall, this is a very good product. My main concern is that the power cable connects to the outside of the box, not inside. This defeats the purpose of the lock and having the power switch inside the locked box. As my headline states, it keeps the honest people honest.

Stable voltage output, compact style case with power indicator LEDs.
This unit seems physically smaller than many others like this I have seen which is nice. Power inlet with standard IEC plug on the side. There is a power indicator on the front door of the unit that shows PSU output and whether it is on. Comes with a key lock and some mounting screws and some rubber grommets for the camera power wires.I found that with the power cord connected the door on the unit does not open all the way. The IEC power connector is a nice idea but this is also a point someone could just unplug the power to the entire system though to be fair the power cord on the other side is just as vulnerable. It comes with rubber wire grommets for protecting the wires entering the unit, but I would prefer something like an NM-B wire clamp that clamps the wires from getting pulled out, etc.

Good value
Good value for non POE camera installations. I tested the PSU at 40 watts and it auto adjusted voltage back up to 12v after the initial power on vdroop. Should do 8 IP Cameras no prob.Only issue is QC issues. Seems maybe these are factory 2nds. As can be seen in the pics. The corner is rusted, it was dented so long. O well… It’s just cosmetic.

Simple and easy to install and use
This really is a simple power supply for a number of applications, from CCTV to benchtop DC devices and everything in between. I’m personally using it as a reliable DC power source to test and run marine radio equipment, and haven’t had any issues so far. I do wish each line had its own dedicated switch, but it’s not a major issue, I just ended up running the lines into an external switch box. With that said, I do like the overall design of the box. The locking door is a nice addition, and the power indicator lights are helpful for checking whether power is getting to the box. Moving on to the price, it’s kind of amazing that they can put this together for so cheap. I’ve seen just the power supply this uses going for 30 bucks by itself, so having the additional breakout board and enclosure makes it a great deal!
