Product Description
What the PSU-12V-3A-4WAY-UK-CABLE-BOX does
This adapter turns your UK mains supply into a regulated 12V DC output and splits it four ways, so one plug socket can power up to four cameras or accessories instead of one.
Key specs
- Output: 12V DC regulated, 3A total (shared across all four ways, not 3A per camera)
- Splitter: built-in 4-way DC cable
- Plug: UK 3-pin mains plug included
- Compliance: CE and UKCA marked
- Use case: indoor CCTV power distribution
What to check before buying
The 3A rating is the total budget for all four outputs combined. Add up the current draw of every camera or IR light you plan to connect — if it's close to or over 3A, the adapter will be underpowered, which is a common cause of flickering or dropped images at night when infrared LEDs draw more current.
Long or thin cable runs can also cause voltage drop, so keep runs short where possible and check the connector matches your camera's DC power input.
This is a power accessory only — it doesn't include cameras, a DVR, or storage. It's meant for small setups such as a handful of cameras sharing one mains point indoors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 3A rating per camera or shared?
It's a total of 3A shared across all four outputs, so add up the current draw of everything you plan to connect rather than assuming each port gets 3A.
Will this power infrared cameras at night?
It can, but IR LEDs draw more current at night — if your total load is close to the 3A limit or the cable run is long, you may see flickering or a dropped image.
Does it come with a UK plug?
Yes, a UK 3-pin mains plug is included, so it connects directly to a standard wall socket.
Is this suitable for outdoor use?
The listing describes it as suitable for indoor CCTV power distribution, so it's intended for indoor installation.
