Not if the receptacle in the other room isn't on a 20 amp circuit...

I think the OP wants a dedicated 20 amp for the cameras.

My licensed electrician here in NYC says outlets are not allowed in
closets. But he puts them in for me.


What's his name so I can report him ? Just kidding... Seriously
I wonder why they don't allow them in a closet?

You would likely be stacking stuff against the outlet.

Just guessing.

Not sure why the ceiling in a closet wouldn't be okay.

They are not allowed in ceilings because the inspectors can never be sure
that all receptacles will either be used or covered with a childproof
insert.

Exposed ceiling receptacles have been known to drop electrons on people's
heads.
