How Much Power Does a CCTV/IP Camera/System Use
Many of you might hear about IP security cameras slowing down your home network, but few of you have never factored in power consumption of your security cameras, CCTV cameras or security systems.
So how much power do your analog CCTV cameras, PoE/wireless security cameras, DVR/NVR or security systems use? Do security cameras use a lot of electricity? How much does it cost to run a CCTV camera?
How Many Watts Do Your Security Cameras Use
Some video surveillance cameras provide power consumption specification, for example, less than 8W
PoE Bullet IP Security Camera with Audio
5MP/4MP Super HD; Outdoor/Indoor Protection; 100ft Infrared Night Vision; Audio Recording; Mobile Remote Access & Control.
While others only list out information about the power supply, for example, Hikvision 12 VDC/500mA, you can do the math and calculate the energy consumption (wattages), simply, multiply the voltage by the CCTV camera amperage (current draw), which makes it 6 watts.
Or plugging your surveillance device to a Kill A Watt, so that it reads the power consumption.
The power consumption of security cameras with different features such as IP cameras with IR illumination night vision and pan-tilt will be different from that of CCTV/IP security cameras without these functions, estimated roughly 2-4 watts bump.
Besides, PoE (powered over Ethernet) security cameras might entail a PoE switch/injector which will add up a bit in power consumption. A piece of advice, choose PoE switch carefully by estimating the maximum power draw per device and the number of PoE cameras.
In general, security cameras, either CCTV analog cameras or PoE IP security cameras, are not energy-consuming as other gadgets like computers or bread toasters; they only need a very little electricity to work.
Does DVR/NVR Use a Lot of Electricity
DVR/NVR tend to use a bit more than CCTV security camera or PoE security camera. For example, one of Hikvision DVRs uses 40 watts Maximum running on 100~240VAC, 6.3A or one of Dahua DVRs runs on DC12V/5A, using 60 watts.
24/7 monitoring with DVR/NVR, in particular, will demand more power consumption down the road.
Security camera systems, as a whole, are not energy hungry and they are not costly to run as much as you might think as one Redditor gives us a clue of rough cost of running home security systemwith a DVR/NVR.
However, they could be in the long run if you are not choosing one carefully or maintain them properly.
How to Reduce Cost Running CCTV/IP Home Security Cameras/Systems
Even though video surveillance cameras are not guzzling your electricity on a daily basis, while the type and number of security cameras, as well as the time of monitoring and their working temperatures, may contribute to the uptick on your electricity bill in the long run.
Therefore, it’s important to take some proper measures to whittle down security cameras/systems’ energy consumption, for example, buy reliable security cameras, quality wires, and cables, and tweak your cameras’ settings to save powers by customizing motion detection.
And if you are thinking about going green, solar-powered security cameras like Reolink Argus 2 and Reolink Go are even better to reduce power consumption.
Conclusion
Even though a home security system only takes up a small portion of household energy consumption, taking a small step to green up your home security system will not only slash energy spending but also reduce carbon footprint in the long run.

Thanks sir,You explained correctly..👍👍👍👍👍
You made the first video on this topic... Good job👌
Very good point raise
Very good sir thanks
Bilkul right sir ...aisa hi hai .
Sir, do one calculation for dc power supply for wireless outdoor cctv cameras to run on solar battery where there is no power supply.
How many cameras we can run on 24/5 power supply adaptor?
We have installed 64 cameras with two NVR. I want to know the need of capacity of the inverter required for the failure of power supply of two hours.
Sir kya power cut me bhi camera work karta hai?

Power consumption only depends on the load amperage, not on the adapter capacity. Whether we use 3A or 10A adapter with the DVR, it will consume the same power only. So please calculate accordingly, not based on the adapter specification. Typically a DVR with one hard drive would require 14-15W, ie. around 1.2A.
Bhai camera internet kitna use karta hai ye bata do plz
Asalamulkium / Hello/ Dear i have a question ap na jo 30 W batya hain wo 30W DC hain ya AC Kyun adapter ma 12vdc 2.0 amp lika hota ha 12 ko jab 2 multiply karian tu 24 watt ata ha lekin 24 watt dc houa na
Hi, Thank you for valuable information. Ap ny kha camera half amp kar hota hy approx. es ka matlab hy k 5 amp ki supply per 10 cameras chal sakty hain? tu phir installer bhai 8 camers per 2 supply kyu lagaty hain?
Wire ke bhi distance me power loss hota hai
Sir bijli chale jane par camera record kar payega ya nahi or invetor nahi lagaya he please answer
Inverter nahi lagaya to nahi hoga

Kya camera ghr me light jane ke baad inverter ki बैट्री khtam hone ke baad bhi on rehta h ?
Sir 90 MTR distance per ptz camera lagana hai ac power available nahi hai , konsa power supply use karna chahiye aur Poe giga hi lagana hai to kripaya suggest kare
Separate power supply use kijiye wahi behtar hoga
Sir home inverter se cctv kitna time chalaga
