Product Description
This is a single 12V 5A mains power supply with an 8-way DC splitter built into the unit — one PSU feeding up to eight separate cameras or LED runs from one socket.
Why it matters for multi-camera jobs: rather than running eight separate plug-top adapters, you run one lead to the box and then eight short DC leads out to each camera or strip. Tidier install, one socket used, one unit to check if something goes wrong.
What's in the box
- 12V 5A power supply unit with 8-way splitter built in
- UK 3-pin plug
- Kettle lead (IEC mains cable)
- Retail packaging
Things worth checking before you buy
- Total load matters, not just per-camera draw. 5A is the combined output across all eight ways — add up the current draw of every camera or strip you intend to connect and keep it under that ceiling, especially if any cameras have IR LEDs that pull more power at night.
- Cable run length affects voltage at the far end. Long or thin cable runs cause voltage drop, which is a common cause of flickering or dropped night-vision image — keep runs reasonably short or use thicker cable on longer pulls.
- Confirm each camera or strip uses a standard 12V DC connection compatible with the splitter's output leads.
Suited to CCTV installs and LED strip lighting where several 12V devices sit within reach of one central point.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many cameras can this power?
It has eight outputs, but the 5A rating is shared across all of them — total the current draw of your cameras (including IR LEDs at night) and keep it under 5A.
Does it come with the mains cable?
Yes, it includes a UK 3-pin plug and a kettle lead (IEC mains cable), and it's boxed for retail.
My camera image flickers or goes black at night — could this PSU be the cause?
Possibly — insufficient or unstable power is a common cause of night-time flickering, especially with long cable runs, since IR LEDs draw more current after dark.
Can I use this for LED strip lighting instead of CCTV?
Yes, it's suited to both 12V CCTV cameras and 12V LED strip installations.
