Just run it off the lite.... not going to need even 2 amps, much less 20.
Use zip cord.... I mean Romex.... lol
10 min job.
Or a 1 min job if you use a screw-in bulb-outlet adapter + an extension
cord.

Sure it's allowed. But why in the world would you need
20A for a security camera? They probably don't use that
on a camera for NBC nightly news these days.... You
should be 1 amp or so for all that you've listed.

20 amps? 20 amp breaker, 20 amp receptacle, and 12 gauge wire for that
small amount of electronics? Way overkill...unless the circuit is already
present and you just want to extend it into the closet. It's still
overkill, but if it's already nearby, then why not.

As far as whether or not an outlet is allowed in a closet, I'm pretty sure
there's an outlet in this closet.

Thanks folks. I know it is an overkill. Plan to upgrade to 16-camera
unit. Just like an extra headroom, 4 cameras @ approx. 3A per 4-
camera, that adds to 12A + DVD and monitor. Plus planning to add IR
illuminators and plenty of spare 20's already in the main breaker that
is unused.

Yes but, that 3A per 4 cameras is probably at 12 volts, or whatever the
cameras use. At 120 volts, it's probably 1/5 or 1/10 of that. I've
done high end studio cameras in a mobile unit and in a studio. Most of
those cameras, along with the control room remote unit, only dray an amp
or 2 at 120VAC.

Often the closet in one room backs up to another room
with a power outlet on the wall of the other room that
is on the opposite side of the wall that forms the
back of the closet.
It is a simple matter to branch off this outlet to
install an outlet on the closet back wall. A simple
matter of locating the "new" receptacle, and stuffing
the Romex a couple inches into the existing outlet
and attaching to the spare terminals ...
If this is the case with your setup, the job will
be an easy one.

Robert

120V @20A is 2.4kW dissipated in that closet. Better add a circuit

I have installed many cameras, even the ones with 120' (yea right) IR lights
and they are max 1A at 12 volts.

OP install at least a quad and if you get into a lot of lights they make a
power distribution box where you can hook it all up in one big box.

I have 13 at one location and luckily found what I would call an octopus

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.

Our campaign posters will be poor, under privileged

licorice, drinking chocolate milk, and wearing black

we havn't had our first fund raiser, yet. We'll have

Thieves can destroy the DVR recordings, or take it with them. It's likely

I tried to find this on the web. NYC uses the NEC with changes. Like 6'
instead of 3'. I was not able to find anything on the NYC web pages
regarding outlets in closets. I called my electrician. He couldn't defend
his comment about this from last Summer. I have to retract my comment.

His father was my former electrician. They have the same first name. I half
looked in my address book and I called his father first by mistake. It gave
me a chance to give my condolences for his losing his Summer house in the
Breezy Point fire. I got to ask a question I had been wondering. Which
house had his personal belongings? Maybe the Breezy Point house was bought
furnished and his personal stuff was in the Florida house? Nope. The
Florida house was bought furnished and all personal things, including
irreplaceable family heirlooms, were in the Breezy Point house. Bummer.

Good point about the recording apparatus being accessible to the thieves!

A few years ago, a couple of teenagers broke into a Maine small-town boat
repair dock. Their goal was to steal some radios out of the boats.

Oops! Once in, they noticed the cameras!

Nothing for it but to burn the place down.

Unfortunately, the cable ran up the hill to the office of the boat repair
company to the recording equipment. It took the local constabulary about two
minutes to recognize the culprits. Arrests followed within the hour.

Here's where it gets tricky. The seventeen-year old (an adult) got, after
restitution, a five-year probated sentence.

The fifteen-year old was turned over to the Secret Service inasmuch as one
of the burned boats belonged to George H.W. Bush. The juvenile was charged
with domestic terrorism and ordered confined to the only federal juvenile
maximum-security facility, in Pennsylvania, until he turned twenty-one.

So, then, this rosy-cheeked snowflake will be locked up for six years with a
passel of drunken Indians.

My licensed electrician here in NYC says outlets are not allowed in

Seriously
I wonder why they don't allow them in a closet?

I tried to find this on the web. NYC uses the NEC with changes. Like 6'
instead of 3'. I was not able to find anything on the NYC web pages
regarding outlets in closets. I called my electrician. He couldn't defend
his comment about this from last Summer. I have to retract my comment.

His father was my former electrician. They have the same first name. I half
looked in my address book and I called his father first by mistake. It gave
me a chance to give my condolences for his losing his Summer house in the
Breezy Point fire. I got to ask a question I had been wondering. Which
house had his personal belongings? Maybe the Breezy Point house was bought
furnished and his personal stuff was in the Florida house? Nope. The
Florida house was bought furnished and all personal things, including
irreplaceable family heirlooms, were in the Breezy Point house. Bummer.

Thanks and sorry to hear about your former electrician. I can only
imagine the pain of losing objects that can't be replaced. Well, the
good thing is ...he's still alive.
