Power Outlet Security Camera

Using to power our security PTZ camera! easy to install and setup!

Ordering and Shipping - B&H Photo shipped the product on time and it arrive undamaged and well protected in the box. Product - The Eve Energy Outlet arrived in new condition in unopened retail packaging. The package includes the outlet, faceplate, and wire nuts for installation. Installation - You will need a neutral wire in order to successfully install the Eve Energy Outlet. The device itself is thicker than a regular outlet, so a shallow electrical box won't work. A regular or deep electrical box is best. Follow the included instructions and you should not have any problems. Setup - After the Eve Energy Outlet is installed and power has been turned back on, the device can be paired in the normal way for your home automation system. I'm using Apple Home, and the pairing through the Apple Home app is as simple as taking a picture of the pairing QR code. The device is initially created as a group of two outlets in Apple Home. Turning the device on / off changes the state of both outlets. You will need to ungroup the device in Apple Home if you want to control each outlet individually. The buttons on the front can also be used to manually turn the outlets on / off. They are somewhat small and will be very difficult to press when both outlets have something plugged into them. The Eve Energy Outlet responds very quickly to requests in the Apple Home app to turn the individual outllets on / off. It has never dropped out of the Apple Home system, and it reconnects quickly after power outages. Speaking of power outages, each plug in the outlet will return to its prior on/off state after a power interruption. Overall - This is an excellent smart outlet with solid build quality, quick response times, and a straightforward / easy installation process.

Purchased for my touring motorcycle. Tho I use a power cord, the old lighter type outlet on the bike does not securely lock the plug, and it can vibrate loose. Having a fresh battery to drop into the camera is nice. I have numbered my batteries (2 + the original) so that I rotate them frequently. Although the power outlet for the camera seems extremely tight, it is not rated “waterproof” and it’s nice to be able to swap out the door with the original and have back up batteries when the weather is foul.

We power a stationery video recorder/camera and our sound system through this multi-outlet power source. We just plugged it in, plugged in our six units and we were done. Sequence outlets offer a nice perk for those who need it.

I’ve continued to rotate through the dual batteries and the one that came with my HERO11 for about a year. No noticeable loss of power or time for activity. I still connect the camera to my motorcycle’s battery; the power outlet still vibrates out. The camera battery seems to maintain level when connected to the power outlet, so I’ll swap it out if it’s been a while since I noticed usage. The dual charger means I’ll have fresh batteries to start the next day. I think it takes about an hour, maybe 90 minutes for a full recharge for both in the dual charger. I’ve not had any issues with the charger or the cord. You’ll need a standard, USB wall charger...I have a wide variety, from Apple OEM to “who knows what”; they all work the same.

This is a coupler that is used along with an A/C adapter to power the camera plugged into a wall outlet in place of a battery. It looks like a battery, but on its own it doesn't have any power and cannot operate the camera or be charged. The other piece needed is the Canon AC Adapter CA-PS700.

This power station is amazing. Sometimes I don't have an outlet near me and I use this as my outlet!!

I can't say enough good about this little switch. It offers per power management for data and power use. Yes you can order it to power cycle any particular port to reset those hard to reach AP's or cameras. It measures the PoE consumption of each port as well as the total draw from the PoE uplink. It's sealed against weather and mounts in harsh environments like attics and garages. Integrated into the UI software it's also helpful to track down problems with devices connected through it. If you have a router, you can also run VLANs through it to, for example, tap off a dedicated PoE ethernet line for a security camera and turn it into a general purpose trunk line for regular devices like solar inverters or AP's, and then VLAN the camera port back to the dedicated port on the NVR for added security.

This is the best 24VAC PS with the highest VA rating! I have been using them to power security video camera systems for many years and know them to be highly reliable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The VOSKER® - V150 security camera is a great little camera for those areas which one does not have access to WiFi. It is weather proof, rugged, durable, and can withstand large changes in temperature. The best feature is that one does not need to have power or WiFi when thinking about where to put this camera. I needed a camera for a situation just like that. The back area of my property does not have a power source nor does my WiFi reach it. I needed a camera that can supply both its own power, and its own connectivity while also taking high quality pictures. The VOSKER® - V150 does just that. If you have a similar situation as me, I highly recommend the VOSKER® - V150 as your go to security camera.
