I learnt my lesson from this. Never go cheap on power supply or any electrical equipments that got fire risk. Bought cheap one forgot what brand years ago from all it. When i was showering at night. Suddenly blackout, went to the db to check the switches. Then i saw something bright from under the door in one of the room using that thing. Opened the door. That thing was on fire. Luckily i was at home that time. Bomba came and said the transformer of that thing might cause it. Not saying yours is bad. Cheap doesnt mean it is not good. Just check on that brand whether it is ok or not based on feedback.

Thank you for your reminder, I was worried at first when I read this. Today is 3rd day, everything quite okay, I place the UPS with 20cm <-- | --> 20 cm apart as instructed in the manual. I will keep an eye on it. Thanks once again.

Sorry, I mean to say POE splitter as the camera is not POE but it runs on 12V DC so you can split the DC/Data @camera end. It's some el cheapo brand from China, Veacam.

Provided the camera uses 12V DC, otherwise still possible but will involved step down circuits. No downside apart from aesthetic, you have one additional dongle if it's not box up.

Can these cameras EZVIZ by Hikvision C3W or HikvisionDS-2CD2041G1-IDW1 connect to a NVR/DVR unit wirelessly?
Any recommendations for the DVR unit?
