If don't supply proper power to CCTV cameras, the cameras will get signal problem or be burnt! It's important to supply the proper Voltage and Amperage to your CCTV Cameras.
Here is the quick reference guide regarding the voltage and amperage.
Most of the below data are fit for 99% CCTV cameras since CCTV cameras usually use either a 24VAC or 12VDC voltage.All MVTEAM AHD Cameras and IP Cameras use 12VDC.
Tips:
Longer Run=more Voltage Drop
Thinner wire(higher gauge)=more Voltage Drop
Larger Amps(more powerful camera)=more Voltage Drop
Higher source voltage=Less Voltage Percentage Drop
Thinner wire(higher gauge)=more Voltage Drop
