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.
10.8 V DC ≤ V

- 2 (R x I x L) ≤ 16 V DC
L : Cable length (m)
R : Resistance of copper wire (Ω/m)
V
A
: DC output voltage of power supply unit
I : DC current consumption (A)
