Product Description
The MOSO Power Unit 12V 1.5A is a mains adapter that supplies 12V DC at 1.5A, which works out at up to 18W. It's for equipment that asks for a 12V DC supply and has a matching connector. The mains plug is EU type, so allow for that on the socket side.
Three things to match before you order
- Voltage: the device you're powering must want 12V DC.
- Connector size: the plug on the lead has to fit the device's power socket.
- Polarity: this is which way round positive and negative run through the connector. Get it wrong and the device may not work.
Then add up what everything on the adapter draws. If the total goes above 18W, one unit won't cover it.
If it's powering a night-vision camera
Infrared (IR) LEDs are the small lights that let a camera see in the dark. They draw more power after dark, so a weak or unstable supply, or a long or poor-quality cable, can cause voltage drop. You'll see this as flickering or a black picture at night, even when the daytime image looks fine. Check the adapter rating and the cable run together.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much power does the MOSO Power Unit 12V 1.5A provide?
It outputs 12V DC at 1.5A, which is up to 18W.
What do I need to match before buying?
The device must need 12V DC, and its connector size and polarity must match this unit's.
Can a weak power supply make a camera flicker at night?
Yes. IR LEDs draw more power in the dark, so a weak supply or a long, poor-quality cable can cause voltage drop, flickering or a black image.
What type of mains plug does it have?
It has an EU-type mains plug.
