Can I cut Off The Two Coaxial Power Connectors And Wire The Battery And Camera Direct?
NO…… DO NOT CUT OFF THE POWER CONNECTOR ON THE CAMERA The female power connector on the camera has a small PC board with a 5-volt regulator circuit embedded in the black plastic. The camera circuitry uses 5 volts and the transmitter in the camera uses 9 volts. If you cut the connectors off you will find that the camera power cable has three or four wires, 5 volt, 9 volt, and ground. The battery cable only has two wires, 9 volts and ground. It is possible to very carefully remove the black plastic from the camera power connector with an exacto knife to remove the small PC board and wire it direct to the 9 volt battery lead. This is not for the faint of heart and you could damage the unit and void the warranty. The manufacturer, SJT, offers a modification service to remove the Power Connector on the camera. The cost of this service is $15.00 including return postage. If you prefer that they make this modification for you pack the camera and one 9-volt battery clip in a padded envelop
