Be Aware of possible problems with these 24 VAC to 12 VDC Converters used with Camera Systems made by MG Electronics

 When changing over and converting older Surveillance Camera Systems  there is often the need to convert the voltage being used . Older systems Pre Digital Chip days  which used tubes where mostly run using 24 Volts AC while almost all modern Analog and Analog HD systems use 12 volts DC power.

This means  changing out the master  power supply for all cameras if doing a full change out . 

But what if it is only one camera you are changing? 

That's where Voltage converters like the one made by MG Electronics makes  sense

It converts 24 VAC to 12 VDC and is a great option for one camera being changed 

However I recently encountered a dangerous situation where one of these units for unknown reasons melted down.

As you can see it started melting down and could have possibly caused a fire.

I have been in touch with manufacturer and not heard back from them yet.

But I suspect a power surge caused this as 24 VAC power to it was just a simple plug in transformer

with no filtering or regulation . But was plugged into a surge protected strip. 

If your using these converters and see cameras stop working check it out you may have a problem.

The Giant Killers Organazation GKO / T Promo Thunder Promotions Website Revisited by Alan Colombo

 A good friend of mine Al Colombo had a website called  The Giant Killers Organization

It dealt with many controversial and hot topics about our government and New World Order

I found a 2004  CD full of his articles and have posted them up on a separate blog.

 

I ask you to come to your own conclusions as to what Alan found and reported on

Thousands of Recalled Chemetron Heat Detectors sill out there providing no protection from fire

 I wrote several years ago about the dangers model 601 602 etc  Chemetron Heat detectors pose how the terminals displace from the heat detectors very easily and will keep it from working

As can be seen above in a recent bad heat detector found by a fellow alarm dealer  .

They are not expensive to replace but there where so many of them put in field and hidden away in all kind of crawl spaces it will be many more years till they are all found and replaced.
