K2 12V 8-Channel CCTV Power Supply: 96W Distributed Output with Voltage Compensation
Running individual plug-in adaptors for every camera in a CCTV installation creates a mess of cables, wall sockets, and failure points. The K2 8-channel power supply consolidates all of that into a single unit that accepts one AC mains input (110V to 230V, 50/60Hz) and distributes regulated DC power across eight independent output channels, each delivering up to 1A. One box, one mains connection, eight cameras fed cleanly and reliably.
Total output capacity is 96 watts, which is more than sufficient to power a full eight-camera analogue HD system where most cameras draw between 3 and 7 watts each. Having dedicated channels rather than a single shared output means one camera developing a fault or short circuit doesn't take down the entire system. Each channel operates independently, isolating problems to the affected camera only.
The standout feature on this unit is the adjustable output voltage with cable length compensation. Every metre of cable between the power supply and a camera introduces voltage drop. A camera rated for 12 VDC might only receive 10.5V by the time the power has travelled 50 or 60 metres of thin cable, resulting in IR LEDs that don't reach full brightness, unstable video, or cameras that reboot intermittently. The K2 addresses this with three selectable output levels:
-
12V for short cable runs with minimal voltage loss
-
13.5V for medium-length runs where moderate drop is expected
-
15V for long cable runs where significant voltage loss needs compensation
This means you can match the output voltage to the actual cable distances in your installation rather than hoping that 12V at the supply end still arrives as usable voltage at the camera end. It's a simple adjustment that solves one of the most common causes of unreliable CCTV performance, particularly in larger residential properties, commercial buildings, and perimeter installations where cable runs routinely exceed 30 metres.
The enclosure is built from flame-retardant plastic that meets safety requirements for electrical equipment and provides insulation against accidental contact with internal components. The wide voltage AC input accommodates the full range of South African mains supply variation without requiring a separate voltage converter or stabiliser.
The AC input cable can be configured with the appropriate regional plug type for your installation, and the front panel supports customisable laser-etched labelling for professional identification in multi-system environments.
