We have a home surveillance system that we haven't installed on our home yet.
It contains a DVR, 4 cameras and a microphone.
Each camera draws ~110mA in daylight, and ~440mA in full darkness.
I haven't tested the microphone but I estimate it's current draw to be negligible.
As I intend on running the cables through the attic, drilling huge holes to fit the ridiculously large BNC connectors is unacceptable.
What I intend is to replace the original cables of the cameras with Cat5 cables so that I can have power and signal with a small cable and small connector.
What I am wondering is will I have issues I may have with this?
Or perhaps does anyone have advice on the matter.
