Installing security cameras

Can Xfinity installers use electrical power from an outdoor porch light for wifi outdoor cameras?

Thanks for meeting us here in our community, @user_az7936. You've reached the right team for assistance with your concerns about the outdoor cameras. We cannot use exterior electrical power for the camera installation. We use PoE (Power over Ethernet) to power cameras. Here: Mounting Exterior Cameras is an excellent article with more information.
