Re: Powering a 2nd Camera

Quote:
If you're using this method to power your camera, this is the wrong way to do so. The supplied converter is designed specifically for use with the DAP-1522, and as such has a output current to correspond with its specs. It would be unwise to run the camera off one that hasn't been checked to correspond to the camera's input power specs.
Why do you say the converter was specifically designed for the DAP-1522 radio?
It appears to be a standard component http://www.current-logic.com/shop/in...products_id=15 and the specs show it capable of handling the load.

This posting has more details on powering a 2nd camera. http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/2634
