I am adding a security camera to my house. The current camera is on the corner of my house pointing north. I want to add the same type of camera pointing east located on the corner of the house 3 inches from the original camera.

The cameras came with a 5v 1.2 A transformer. Each camera works with the current wiring. I spliced into the wiring and added a second plug for the second camera.

I replaced the original transformer (5v 1.2 A) with a new one 5v 3.0 A. With both camera’s plugged in only one camera works at an time.Each connection delivers 5.01 volts. Essentially only one camera works at a time with the new transformer.

The only thing I can think is the problem is the gauge of the existing wiring is wrong and affecting the electrical current.

Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance.
