An SMPS for a 16-channel CCTV camera system is designed with multiple outputs to provide stable power to each camera individually, ensuring reliable performance and flexibility in installation. For example, an 8-channel CCTV SMPS typically includes eight independent power outputs, allowing each camera to be powered separately. Additionally, a high-quality CCTV SMPS comes with 12V short circuit protection, which safeguards the entire surveillance setup by preventing damage in case of a short circuit in any of the connected cameras.
