[SOLVED] Extending security cameras wire

[tezarin]

Hi all,

I bought a security system from amazon that comes with the cameras that have to be plugged in: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07719HQQS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The cords are too short, will something like this work to extend the wire? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CKQF5LK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2GQEFKYWQUJT0&psc=1

Thank you

The power supply cords?

" 4 x 10 Feet Power Supply (12V-1000mA) Power adapter for Security Cameras "

And your plan is to splice in the Red and Black zip wire between the power adapter and the 12 v plug(s) serving the camera - correct?

My thought is that the existing adapter to plug wiring is likely to be very fine, braided wire. May be difficult to splice and/or hold thereafter.

Have you done such splicing before? Or know someone who has?

The splices will certainly void any warranties....

Yes, I had cut wires before and attached them to another one. Was just wondering if that amazon wire is a good one for this purpose.

Just how far to you intend to run these power cables? 12V @1A (1000mA = 1A) is going to be shaky beyond 6-8 ft or so with 24 guage. 10 guage minimum out to 20-25ft.

You'd be much further ahead to extend line voltage out to the cameras and use the 12V adapter unmodified.

Perfect, thank you. I plan to extend it between 10-20 ft. Can you please recommend a product to buy?
