Honeywell IPCAM-WOPS
IPCAM-WO Power Supply 12VDC, 1A
This product has been discontinued and is no longer in stock.
Description
The Honeywell IPCAM-WOPS is a power supply used to provide constant power to a Honeywell IPCAM-WO outdoor IP security camera. While the IPCAM-WO is a wireless outdoor IP security camera that can be setup with WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) wireless security, you will need to plug the outdoor security camera into a standard outlet using the IPCAM-WOPS.
The best spot to install a Honeywell IPCAM-WO outdoor IP security camera is under an eave or other structure that will provide some protection from weather and birds. However, you will need to ensure that there is an available non-switchable power outlet near your installation location. The IPCAM-WOPS power supply cable is only 6’ long so you may need to use an extension cable to provide power to your security camera. You may also need to hire a local electrician who can professionally provide power to your IPCAM-WO outdoor IP security camera. If you can get to a nearby outlet, the IPCAM-WOPS power supply converts the 110VAC power coming out of your power outlet into a usable 12VDC, 1A output for the IPCAM-WO.
Please note that the power supply used for the IPCAM-WO is different than the power supply used for the IPCAM-WI2 fixed IP security camera or the IPCAM-PT pan/tilt IP security camera. While the IPCAM-WO uses the IPCAM-WOPS power supply, the IPCAM-WI2 uses the IPCAM-WIPS power supply and the IPCAM-PT uses the IPCAM-PTPS power supply.
Make sure to first connect an Ethernet cable to your IPCAM-WO outdoor security camera before plugging in the IPCAM-WOPS power supply if you intend to use the camera in the wired mode. Alternatively, if you want to use the wireless WiFi setup, make sure there is no Ethernet cable connected when you go to plug the power supply into the power outlet.

The Honeywell IPCAM-WOPS is a power supply plug in transformer for a Honeywell ICAM-WO Outdoor Security Camera. The Honeywell IPCAM-WO has been discontinued, and so has the IPCAM-WOPS. If you need to replace the power supply for an existing Honeywell IPCAM-WO, then you will want to get the IPCAM-WOPS. Finding a user model is probably your best bet, as you are unlikely to find a new model anywhere. But luckily, a used model should still work well, provided that it has not been damaged. While the Honeywell IPCAM-WOPS is a very specific product with a limited range of functions, we still give it 5 Stars, as you really don't have another viable option for a Honeywell IPCAM-WO.
There are some positive aspects associated with the Honeywell IPCAM-WOPS. For one, the cable is very easy to connect with the camera, making it almost fool-proof. The cord is fixed to the transformer, which has its pros and cons, but this means that you do not need a screwdriver to complete the connection. The transformer can be plugged into a standard US outlet, which gives you many options for choosing a final installation location for your Honeywell Security Camera.
But there are also some downsides for the Honeywell IPCAM-WOPS. Since the cord is fixed to the transformer and unable to be removed, a damaged cord usually means you have to replace the entire unit. This is unlike a transformer with a detachable cable, as then the problem can be fixed by simply attaching a new wire. One other big limitation with the IPCAM-WOPS is that its cable is only 6-feet in length. Many users will need to get an extension wire to complete the desired setup, as this cable is just too short. And since this power supply is for the IPCAM-WO only, it has very limited functionality. But these downsides do not sway us from giving the product a 5-Star score.
Good: Easy to Connect, No Screwdriver Needed, Plugs Into US Outlet
Bad: Damaged Cord Cannot Be Easily Fixed, Short Cord, For IPCAM-WOPS Only
Bottom Line: 5 Stars
