Re: Powering Robot Controller without breaker panel, etc.
Use a robot controller to power the camera for safety of camera.
I believe RC contains a PTC in the 7.2v path,
The PTC goes to high resistance upon overcurrent, protecting the camera, then it automatically resets.
Last year we blew the camera tantalum filter capacitors using direct connect (correct polarity) which the PTC would have avoided.
