Is it actually likely that all 5 would be drawing full power at once though?

It's normal in household wiring (at least here in the uk) for circuits to be somewhat undersized based on the concept of "diversity" (i.e. it's highly unlikely every socket on the circuit will be drawing 13A simultaneously)



I would expect power consumption to be fairly consistent for something like a surveillance camera that emits a stream 24/7.


Not if they’re PTZ; they’d obviously be drawing more power when panning, tilting, and (maybe) zooming if that is mechanical.
