x10 cams are 12VDC.
red = +12v
yellow = video
white = audio
green = ground

use a computer "at" power supply.  mollex
connector (large 4 pin) for hard drives
etc:
yellow = 12v
black = ground

I thought you were a nutjob, skootch.  But
you took my words to heart.  Your color
codes are correct.  For cameras, almost
universal standards for audio is red/white,
video is yellow, power is red, and ground
is green, copper or black.  You can also
use an ATX power supply if you short out
the proper pins.
