Voltage Tolerance

[Kolton Benoit]

Any idea what the DC range the Camect hub hardware is spec'd for? 

It's absurd, but I'm installing my hub and cameras in a camper. This camper (like basically all of them) has both an AC and DC power bus, so you can operate things like gas appliances and the lights on a 12v car battery while not on shore power. While connected to shore power, the AC system powers a battery charger to keep the battery topped off. While the charger is on, the 12v bus actually measures around 13.2v (lead acid battery chemistry is fun).  This means I effectively have a built-in battery back up if I can connect devices directly to the 12v system. I'd rather directly connect the unit if possible, rather than have the efficiency losses and reliability of an inverter to worry about. But, of course, I'd much rather not kill the hardware.

Thanks,

Kolton

The only specs are 12V DC 2.5A per the original power supply and I don't think there's a lot of tolerance ... Maybe you could try with a voltage regulator that would give you 12V DC regardless of the input.

hhmmm, ok. I'll do some research and see what I can find. Thanks to both of you!

Ordered one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07X9XX9J8

Got it wired in, though I still need to find the right sized screws to get it mounted on the DIN rail. We'll see how long it lasts.
