Will a 9 volt 60 Hz harm a 9 volt 330 mA electronic device?

We have two wireless 9 volt, 330 mA security cameras. I have misplaced both of their power supply cords and the company does not make replacements. Will using either a 9 volt 60 Hz or 9 volt 400 mA work? I don't need a fire risk, as I plan on using them nightly...

it may harm the decide. All depends if your camera needs AC or DC current.
