The real problem in getting American equipment to work in Europe is not the difference in voltage, but frequency and current. You are likely to have a converter for the camera. It changes the AC into DC and the frequency should not be a problem either. The converters are not very picky about the voltage, but as you have almost the double you will run the risk of burning the converter (and your house). So what you can do is buy a new one or the box might have switch for changing the incoming AC. It would be easier to be taking european stuff to america, because then the device would just requires more current. So in conclusion it will not necessarily be sufficient to just get a new adapter, but since it is a DC device harm is less likely.
