Default DC voltage for GE security camera


I bought one of these, and spent five (scary!) minutes trying voltages
with an old PC power supply. The red plug is power, 12VDC, negative on
the outside, running about 50mA. The yellow plug is ordinary NTSC
component video. The white plug is analog audio, but of course you
should check your laws before recording audio along with video! All
three plugs' grounds are tied together directly, so do make sure your
power supply, audio, and video equipment share a ground.

The GE SmartHome Video (GESECCTVBWC) are nice little cameras, and for
the price, the picture's pretty darn good. They do nicely in the dark,
too, although their 5 infrared LEDs do spill some into the visible red,
and without a diffuser (even a piece of tape!) tend to give a sort of
"flashlight effect" to the image.
