CCTV power- affordable solutions for electric motors

CCTV (closed circuit TV) cameras use the same standard power plug as KNex Electric motors and also operate at 12 volts DC. The connectors on these motors is a 2155 DC Coaxial power plug. (2.1mm inside diameter, 5.5mm outside diameter). I was able to buy a 10 pack of these with pig tail wires on Amazon for $10. They also sell just the connectors with either solder or screw terminal connections. Better than cutting the cords off your power packs.
I also found these nice compact 4 channel power adapters for CCTV cameras. They have 4 12V DC channels rated at 500 mA (DC motor adapters are rated at 350). The device has built in fuse protection and an LED indicating power. I found these for $10 each on eBay.
Here is the power adapter
