xena expressed precisely :

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

If the 8v needed is 8v DC, then you could run it from a 7808 series
regulator. Get a 1amp version of the 7808 from perhaps Maplin. It has
three terminals + in, ground, + output at 8v. Mount in on an heat sink
because it will need to be kept cool.

Thanks, but she could literally foal any hour now, I can't risk waiting for
stuff to turn up. I've tried to set it up using the 12v DC adaptor but
haven't found a way of finishing the connections off just yet.

Another solution might be to get hold of a long 240v extension and take
care where you place the cable.

Not possible, the lane to next door goes between the house and the field,
and I've been warned before by the kind folk on here that mains leccy near
my horses ain't good.

Cheers for your advice tho.
