If the power supplies have isolated outputs, you should be able to "stack" them in series to get more volts (as in the case you're looking at, two 24V in series will get you 48V).

Parallel hookup CAN get you more amps, but the power supplies can buck each other if they are not designed for it. You need to take that into account.

That actually works? Does that apply in parallel as well if I have the voltage I need but not the amperage? I just assumed multiple power supplies connected together would be like crossing streams and call up some demonic stay puff marsh mellow crickets or something

    Most professional security cameras are either 24v AC or powered
    off a .AF PoE switch with a built-in PSU so no external 48v. Your
    local electronics supply would be the best chance.

        to get them cut, and the cuts not galvanized,, but its
        literally the same pipe (thanks sitepro for forgetting your
        nail polish wipe)
        I really figured the security joint would have it, with
        multicam ip cams and all.

            I needed one of these in a pinch today called local
            electricians and a security outfit, im betting the
            security joint has them and doesnt realize it.

            Any other ideas on where to look in a pinch?
