I’m using my old transformer which delivers 10,4V measured.
There is no sign of life on my G410 when doing this. Using batteries works fine.
Is this to be expected ? I know the G410 spec says 12-24V but I want to rule out any defect in my unit.

You need a higher powered transformer.

Are you absolutely sure? Doesn’t the transformer deliver 1.5 amps at 12V with a maximum output of 18VA across terminals 1 and 3? The other terminals only provide 4V or 8V. It’s highly likely the wires aren’t currently connected to terminals 1 and 3.

Could be wiring - but OP said “I’m using my old transformer which delivers 10,4V measured.” I took that to mean he used a multimeter and measured the output and it was too low. But maybe he can try a different wiring configuration.

You’re absolutely right, thanks for catching that! I only looked at the 12V label on the photo and completely missed the actual measured output of 10.4V.
The transformer has clearly seen better days, or there’s a significant voltage drop across the old bell wires. Since 10.4V is well below the camera’s 12V minimum, trying different wiring configurations probably won’t save it.
