An 8-channel Switched-Mode Power Supply (SMPS) is a type of power supply unit designed to provide power to eight separate devices or channels, commonly used in CCTV systems. It’s a more efficient alternative to traditional linear power supplies, utilizing semiconductor switching technology to convert AC input voltage to a regulated DC output voltage.Â
-
Power Distribution:
The SMPS distributes power from a single power source to multiple devices, such as CCTV cameras, DVRs, or other security equipment.Â
-
Efficiency:
SMPS units are known for their high efficiency, minimizing energy losses and reducing operating costs.Â
-
Protection:
They typically include safety features like over-voltage, over-current, and short-circuit protection to safeguard connected devices.Â
-
Regulation:
The output voltage is regulated to a consistent level, ensuring stable power delivery to the connected devices.Â
-
Reliability:
SMPS units are designed for reliable operation and can handle a variety of input voltage fluctuations.Â
-
Compact Design:
They are generally compact and easy to install in various environments.Â
-
Surge Protection:
Some models include surge protection, shielding connected devices from sudden voltage spikes.Â
- CCTV Systems:Â 8-channel SMPS units are widely used in CCTV systems to power multiple security cameras and other associated equipment.Â
- IP Cameras:Â They can power IP cameras, which require DC power for their operation.Â
- DVRs and NVRs:Â SMPS can provide stable power for Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) and Network Video Recorders (NVRs).Â
