Power Supply

[Garconis]

Can anyone supply a link to a (ideally cheap) 12v power supply for the dash cam? I'm looking for one to plug into my wall outlet, so I can do firmware updates easier.

I've read that you shouldn't do firmware updates via USB power, so I wanted a power supply instead. Having trouble finding one that will fit the smaller power connector of the dash cam.

What's cheap? I don't live in America so I don't know what your common electronics stores are.
Here's something that's simple:

Or if you can find a kit like this with different tips

Cheap would be around $10 or $15 USD. That Walmart one isn't bad though. Do you know what size connector/tip I would need to plug into the camera?

Careful what you buy. The walmart 12 volt 5 amp lankyduke links to, is non regulated and not work for your requirements. It Will output 12 volts only if it has a 5 amp draw(load). Less than an amp draw(load) and it will be putting out in the neighbourhood of 16 volts
