12v power supply units for cameras

[i=p/u]

12v 5A power supply for four cameras, if using shotgun cable with the power cores being 0.15mm, what is max distance from the cameras the power supply can be, as these are normally mounted close to camera itself. I know I can power locally to camera but would prefer to keep it all together. Any help thx T

Also, you've got to be careful with the cheap long extension cables for CCTV use. I had a 30M one and yes, the video went through fine, but the power cable they had used was nowhere near capable of the job.

Normally get them free with with cheap kits. Had some knocking about for ages.. last few kits i fitted for ppl was poe, alot simplier.

It's very rare that I will use the supplied leads on Cctv kits.
I tend to do nearly all in cat5 with baluns these days as it's so much easier and you don't need a massive hole to get the premade plugs through!
