Cable Length and Wire Gauge
24 V AC
The recommended cable length and thickness are
shown in the table for reference. The voltage sup-
plied to the power terminals of the camera should
be within 19.5 V AC and 28 V AC.
12 V DC
Use the formula below to calculate the power cable
and power supply. The voltage supplied to the
power terminals of the camera should be within
10.5 V DC and 16 V DC.
