VMB4000 internal regulator

gz1 — Tue, 28 Jan 2020 16:15:37 GMT

What is the input voltage regulator on the VMB4000?

I know it comes with a 12v power supply.

However most devices immediately take that and regulate it down internally.

What IC is used in the VMB4000?

Don't have any idea as Arlo doesn't supply schematics ( and I haven't taken one apart )

but if I was going to guess, I'd say 5v out

I'm not interested in what the voltage is internally.

I am looking for the input voltage range.

I can't ask for this directly as, well, nobody at Netgear or the forums will just give a straight answer, so I have to ask in a roundabout way. If someone can identify the internal regulator IC(s) I can figure it out for myself.

Hi @gz1,

You can see the specs here for the VMB4000. See picture below.

Thank you for not reading my question and not answering it.

You want to know what regulator chip (if any) in the base - open it up and check. That's the onlyway you're going to get an answer.
