Must be 3 years since we installed a mains powered camera (230v) Most mid to high end cameras are dual voltage 12v dc/24v ac, or of course if you are fitting IP cameras, use PoE. Ilkie

Hi Guys, This is an earlier Bosch MIC camera with twin IRs, probably at least two years old. The new Bosch MIC550s do not use this type on illuminator, (which will be be dual IR and white light). Deltasierra - This a a ruggidised PTZ camera but is not rated as ballistic resistant. We have...
