Support Team Shaun_E Posted September 3, 2008 Support Team Share Posted September 3, 2008 My bullet cam died a couple of weeks ago and the replacement has a big warning inside saying only to use 12v regulated supply. Has anyone found a regulated power supply that will regulate car battery/alternator output to 12v? The ones I have found in Maplin pass the car voltage straight through when on their 12v setting - i.e. un regulated (typically 13 - 14.5 volts). Has anyone else had a bullet cam fail when powered from the car electrics? Edited to say - now found one here 4th from bottom.

jeremybu Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 That's what I used. 1.6 SV - GJ02JLO - If there's one thing I've learned, it's that it should have been something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F355GTS Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Shaun I've always run mine direct form the Car without a problem, if i recall the bullet cam documentation from RF suggested it was OK from 9v to 15v Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Team Shaun_E Posted September 3, 2008 Author Support Team Share Posted September 3, 2008 I ran my old one direct from the car for a couple of years but it packed up at Curborough a couple of weeks ago. The new one has a big notice in the box "Regulated 12V DC input only" and a wonderful Chinese translation "Unless follow above order, warranty void!" In the interests of not blowing another one up I thought a regulated supply might help. The one from dogcamsport is purpose made and looks pretty neat. For £10 I thought it it would be worth a try.
