Why I chose this unit
I have not used these power boxes yet as they are headed out of the country to be installed. I bought them because of their power (30amps) and because they are FUSELESS!In the past, my power boxes were fused and usually had 2-4 extra fuses with the box. If something happened, and you blew those fuses, there was no where to get replacements.Fuseless boxes prevent this problem. It is the only thing I want to buy now.

Useful
Great to have if you have tons of cameras, etc. Was not hard to set up and get it going. So far it has worked well and I haven't had any issues.

Don't know why they did this!
I received the product shipped with the power cord and bag of keys banging around loosely inside the case. Fortunately there appears to be no damage to the circuit board components or wiring going to the front door LED indicator board. The product box is a tight fit to the product so it seems it was meant to have the parts packed loosely within the product. Also be aware the power supply fan has quite a bit more noise than a good computer fan. Other than that it will work for what I need it to do to power roller shade motors.

Died less than 1 year
Very disappointed in this unit. All the light show green, but they’re putting out less than one volt per channel.

Very disappointed
I bought this a few months back I just finally installed it and when I opened the box the lock was missing so no big deal I just took off my old one, but the fan runs all the time and its loud you can hear it from the opposite side off the wall.

Okay CCTV distribution box, power supply is very basic
This is a pretty run-of-the-mill take on a standard CCTV power distribution box. Boxes like this are used when you need to supply 12V to a number of remote devices, like CCTV cameras, security systems or other low-voltage industrial systems. They are important because a 10A or higher power supply has a large potential to supply energy to remote devices, so a wiring fault that causes a short circuit could be catastrophic without protection.These boxes are made by many different manufacturers, and they can be broadly grouped into two types. One uses traditional cylindrical fuses, where a fault actually ruins the fuse and it needs to be replaced to make that channel operate properly again. The other uses a special type of resettable fuse called a PTC, where basically a thermal element heats up and breaks the connection if a short occurs. That's what this box is - if a short circuit condition occurs, the channel will go back to working again once the fault is resolved.The fuses on this board are rated for 1.1A, which is a pretty good amount per channel. The main power supply is rated for 10A, which is distributed across the channels. So you have a power budget to spend; the sum total can't exceed 10A, and no individual channel can exceed 1A at most (the manual rates each one at 0.55A, which is the total power divided 18 ways.)I have two complaints about this box. The first is that the knockout configuration that allows wires to go in and out is more limited than some others I've used. There are only two knockouts on the right and three on the top, but none on the left. They also don't come with protective rubber grommets to prevent wires from being damaged by the sharp metal edges, so you'll need to source and install your own.The other complaint is that the internal AC-DC power supply is pretty entry level quality. I don't see visible safety certifications on it, and looking through the top of the casing, the internal circuitry is about half as complex as a top tier brand like Mean Well would be. It's also wired to the main board by two low-gauge wires instead of one thicker one, which is an odd choice.I think this is an okay choice and don't have any concerns about using it, but I will probably pick a different brand in the future. If I was putting this in a mission critical environment, I'd consider swapping out the provided power supply for a name brand, keeping the PTC distribution board and metal casing; 12V/10A supplies are a pretty standard part and it should be straightforward to mount a different brand in the same location.
