Can I power a Canon EOS 1200D with mains power instead of battery?

Question

I have a Canon EOS 1200D, which uses LP-E10 batteries. I was wondering if anyone knows of a cable/adapter that can give the camera a continuous power supply from the wall, as I use it for live streaming a bit, and having it on battery for that when it is stationary is rather annoying.

How can I power the 1200D from mains (wall) power (not USB), rather than from batteries?

After a lot of searching, I found the DR-E10 DC Coupler on the Canon website. Clearly when I was originally searching I was using the wrong key terms in my searches on google.

More searching then revealed that that adapter doesn't have the AC cord with it, so a better option would be the Canon ACK-E10 Adaptor (not on Canon UK store, so found on Amazon | Was listed on the Canon US site for the Rebel T5 aka the 1200D)

You can get cheap knock off versions of the ACK-E10 for about 1/4 the price of the Canon version, at least in the U.S. you can. – Michael C Apr 18 '16 at 23:53
@MichaelClark I found one for about £15 on Amazon. Will report back once it arrives. – Matt Cowley Apr 19 '16 at 11:46
