Re: Voltage from a CCTV camera

Thanks guys,

I'd had a couple of cameras fail about after the same time in service (same
make & model & purchase date) and was just curious what I was
"getting
back" from their replacements, and the others.

Measurement was with just a basic multimeter, so maybe my readings aren't
worth much.

Cheers,
Tim.
