Is there any way I can get the camera to run off a 12v leisure battery
instead?

If it has a narrower range, you need a suitable power supply to drop the
12V to 8V. Something like this:

Thanks for that. The camera says it wants 8v, so do you think it would
prefer 7.5v or 9v? I don't think I have the luxury of waiting for delivery
now, so I guess it'll be whatever Halfords have. I've found an old
multi-voltage adaptor like the one you linked to, but none of the 4 adaptors
will fit the camera

Many thanks for your help.
