Cable length and wire gauge
24 V AC
The recommended cable length and wire gauge are shown in the table for reference. The voltage
supplied to the power terminals of the camera should be within 19.5 V AC and 28 V AC.
The recommended wire size for 24 V AC power cord is shown below:
12 V DC
Calculation of the relation among the cable length, resistance, and power supply.
The voltage supplied to the camera shall be between 10.8 V DC and 16 V DC.
