I have 2 Google Nest Outdoor cameras that I’d like to mount front and back under the eaves and power from the loft. Their power details:
“Plugs into a standard household power outlet
AC adapter input: 100–240V AC, 50/60Hz, 0.2AAC
adapter output: 5V DC, 1.4A”
This house is a rental, so no ability to run more power / make big holes in walls.
In the loft is a round pin socket already wired, with a round pin connected cable going to a tv arial booster box. The plug says 5A/240V. The cable going to the socket says AEI 167/001.
As each camera is 1.4A, would I be ok to have 2 cameras and this tv booster plugged into this prewired outlet?
I would want to leave the outlet as is with round pins (rental house), but take an extension blog that has normal 13A square pins and put a round pin plug on the end. Then plug the two cameras and booster into this extension.
Does that sound ok? How can I be sure the load on the lighting circuit with those 3 items is ok, to plug into this outlet.
Just to be clear, no heavy electrical item would be plugged into the extension, just these two cameras and the booster. When we leave the rental I’d take the extension with us and put a round pin back on the booster and leave it plugged in as shown.
I’ve attached some pics. Any thoughts?
Many thanks
