12 or 24 volts?

This area is for discussing the installation and troubleshooting of access control, prox reader, strikes, or electronic prox fob and keypad locks. No bypass or Advanced techniques please.

was working on a mag lock system. got fired, not working on it anymore. if you guys know my history then you would know ive had a pretty rough time for the past year or so with the ex drama and my life has been a mess. in the past year ive probably gotten fired at least 4 times and have stayed for a good duration at a crack house in Waikiki. i now reside in california and am struggling just to keep my crummy underpaid job. but hey at least im still trying...

So was it 12 volts or 24 volts? Otherwise I see no relevance to the topic.

Sorry to be an arse but we all have issues and it is probably best to talk about that sort of stuff in the general chatter section.

Old Post, 24 volts draws half of what 12 volt does. Can get more power through small conductors with 24 Volts. Cameras are Simular(12 and/or 24 volts and may be AC and/or DC.
12 Volts is great as you can easily Back Security/Cameras, Many Electronics with a 12 Volt Battery. Can use a Car Battery to give Alarm System large backup times after a Hurricane, or during an Extended Power outage. AC or DC should be a question. With AC, You would need an Inverter. Best to Stay at 12, as any converting/inverting, their is a loss.
