Remote Power Supply to Hardwire Cameras
When I built our house, I used siamese cable (1-coax, plus one red and black 14 AWG wire) to each cam location, as I was going to install commercial cams and a DVR. I decided I want to use Ring. These are eve locations around the house. I'd like to use a 120V to 5VDC power supply at my equipment room where the cables terminate from the camera locations. Can I splice the following USB-C pigtails into the Ring power cord (5VDC output end), then use the 5VDC power supply for each camera?https://amzn.to/401MDDv

I can see the specs at ~5V DC. Its low voltage so I don't think an electrician is required. The pigtails are USB-C. I just don't know if the black/white DC wires and pins on the pigtail align with what Ring uses in the cameras.

Tom, the adapter says its 24V output and for RIng doorbells. Is there on for cameras?

@user_dafc8c. Apologies for any confusion here, the Ring Plug-In Adapter (2nd Gen) is only compatible with the listed Ring Doorbell models. If you let us know specifically which Ring Camera you are interested in, we can advise you on what the power requirements are and what the recommended installation looks like.

Hi @user_dafc8c. Which model of Ring Security Cameras are you looking at installing? I can't make any recommendations on splicing wires, but I can clarify the power requirements for the specific camera model you're interested in. Questions about the wiring itself should be directed to a qualified electrician to ensure it is installed safely.
