Gus_19 0 Posted August 16, 2013 Without an outlet nearby and right now, one run of Cat5e wire to the location of the camera, will I be able to power a camera as well as a housing, having a heater and blower inside? Or am I going to have to run some 18/2 wire to the location as well? The camera will be connected via a balun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeromephone 6 Posted August 18, 2013 I would run the 18/2 or 16/2 depending on the distance from the power supply. That way you will have less voltage drop at the housing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the toss 0 Posted August 18, 2013 Depends on the didtance of the cable run. Most cameras with heater , blower & IR will run at 2-3 amps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
