Product Description
12V 1.5A CCTV power adapter (HON-PSU-12V2A-EU) — where it fits on a job
HON-PSU-12V2A-EU is a 12V DC, 1.5A (1500mA) regulated plug-in adapter for powering a single CCTV camera or other low-voltage device from a mains socket.
Key specs
- Output: 12V DC, regulated
- Current: 1.5A / 1500mA maximum
- Plug: EU 2-pin mains
- Connector: standard 2.1mm DC barrel — the type used on most CCTV cameras and DVR accessories
- Cable: fitted with a ferrite core to reduce electrical interference
- Compliance: CE marked
Typical use
Fine for a single camera, a small network device, an LED accessory, or other low-power kit needing a steady 12V feed — retail back-offices, small residential installs, or as a spare on a van stock list. The compact housing sits flush against a wall socket, useful where a camera or router is mounted in a confined space.
What to check before specifying
- Connector size — confirm 2.1mm barrel matches the camera's input; not every model uses this size.
- Current draw — check the camera's rated consumption against the 1.5A ceiling, particularly on units with IR LEDs, which pull more current at night. Undersized supply is a common cause of night-time flicker or dropout.
- Plug type — this unit is EU 2-pin; confirm it suits the socket it will be plugged into before adding to a job list.

Frequently Asked Questions
What connector does this adapter use?
A standard 2.1mm DC barrel connector, the size most commonly fitted to CCTV cameras and DVR accessories.
How much current does it supply?
Up to 1.5A (1500mA) at a regulated 12V DC output — enough for a single camera or similar low-power device.
Will it work with a UK mains socket?
It has an EU 2-pin plug, so check this matches your socket type before specifying it for a job.
Can it power a camera with IR night vision?
It can, but check the camera's rated current draw against the 1.5A ceiling, since IR LEDs pull more current at night and an undersized supply is a common cause of flicker or dropout.
