I have a Tenvis IP camera, model JPT3815W. It came with an AC adapter that is only 1 metre in length and I would like to extend this.
Note: I only want to extend the length by a maximum of another 5 metres, more likely only 3 metres. It needs to go through a wall and be mounted at 1.5 metre height under my front porch overhang.
The AC adapter plug, which I assume contains a built-in transformer/stepdown converter, has the following specs underneath:
AC adapter model XC-313, input 100-240v, output 5v...200mA
From what Ive seen via Google I think this is a 2amp adapter, but I cannot find exact specs for this model.
My question:
Is there a maximum length limit that this cabling can be extended by either:
1. using a shop-bought jack-plug extension cable to simply attach to the XC-313s cable
2. or by manually splicing and dicing the cable with extra length wiring
As a follow-up question:
the jackplug that plugs into the back of the camera looks like this...
external diameter = 4mm
internal diameter = 1mm-1.5mm
length of metal part of connector = 9.5mm-10.mm
(although it doesn't insert all the way into the rear camera socket)
so is this a standard size (for buying an extension cable)?
I am not a techie, so any advice would need to be dumbed down for little old me!
Thanks
