I have a ipcam with a device input rating of 12v 2000mA.

Can I use a 12v 3.33A AC adaptor with it? I haven't tried using it yet, i'm afraid it might cause damage to the device.

  • There will be no damage. The camera only draws as much current as it needs, and the supply only provides what is needed no matter if it's rating is higher. – Jack Creasey May 11 '17 at 05:08

Yes - you can use it. Your device will take up to 2A, power supply can give up to 3.33A, so you have 1.33A spare capacity. Just check plug polarity.
