Can I Use Wall Power?
This page explains how to power the OV80i system safely using standard wall outlets, and what adapters or supplies are compatible.
Yes, Wall Power Is Allowed
You can power the OV80i from a standard 120V (North America) or 220-240V (international) wall outlet. You just need a 24V DC power supply that converts AC wall power to 24V DC. Most Overview camera kits include one.
