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.


Do let us know how she gets on, will you?
