Hi there. I just bought this outdoor security camera kit from Amazon.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00WLJ38DO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
When wiring it up, I noticed that I got a small sharp shock when touching the small screws on the metal casing around the cameras. I was wondering if this should be considered dangerous, or is this perhaps just static electricity?
The cameras are powered by a standard looking 12V power adapter.
I've added a photograph of the rating on the adapter here:

Could something else be causing the shock. I fed the cables through an existing hold in the wall so they sit along side an existing power supply for outside lights. I wonder if this could be causing an issue.
Thanks!
Dave.
