Dahua DC 1 To 4 Power Splitter
The Dahua DC 1 to 4 Power Splitter is a simple CCTV power distribution lead that allows up to four cameras to be powered from a single compatible 12 volt direct current power adapter. It uses common 5.5 mm outer and 2.1 mm inner direct current barrel connectors and is typically used in small multi-camera installs where a shared power supply is preferred.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this power four cameras at full load?
It can connect up to four cameras, but the power supply must have enough current capacity for the total camera load. - What connector size does it use?
It uses a 5.5 mm outer and 2.1 mm inner direct current barrel connector. - Is this suitable for long cable runs?
This lead is 40 cm and is intended as a short splitter. For long runs, use suitable power extension cabling and consider voltage drop.
Additional Information
- Common field issue: one undersized power supply feeding multiple cameras can cause brownouts, infrared cut filter chatter, or random resets.
- Best practice is to total the camera current draw and allow headroom for infrared illumination and cold starts.
- If using inside a housing or cabinet, ensure strain relief so the barrel plugs are not supporting cable weight.
