Help with DC Voltage reduction

[George Reily]

I found an 8volt DC wireless camera to use as a backup camera on my
van. Can anyone help me with a schematic to reduce the 12v battery
feed to the required 8-9volts for the camera? I'm handy with soldering
irons and breadboards but I don't have a clue what components to use.
Thanks,
George

Check into using a 9V three pin voltage regulator or an
adjustable voltage unit like the following example which is
available from Radio Shack:

Adjustable Voltage Regulator LM317T
1.2 to 27VDC. Heat sink required for max. current rating of 1.5
amps. TO-220 case.
Price: $1.99US

Check to see how much your current your camera will draw first
though.
