Righty, I am needing to fit a wireless CCTV camera that overlooks the front door of the flat so the missus can see who's at the door before she answers when I am at work.
The best place to site it will be on the wll where the boiler is so the cable will come into the cupboard where the boiler is.
There is no sockets in this cupboard to plug it into however there is a fused box that the boiler is wired into.
Would it be possible to run some twin and earth to a surface mounted socket from the fused box to run the CCTV. There will be minimum drain on this as the boiler is gas and used electricity tooo start ignite the flame and the CCTV is 6-12volts.
Is this possible??
To recap
mains (from fuse box) ---------- fused box --------------boiler

is the supply that goes to the fused spur direct from the consumer unit (fuse box)?
what size is the fuse/breaker for it? how big is the cable?

A cctv transformer will draw at most 1amp, probably much less than that, it'll be fine.

It depends where its pointing, if its pointing at the little kids in the paddling pool next door, then maybe theres some legal issues there

bring a cable from the spur on the feed side, mount a box directly at the side of the boiler spur, use the cable to go from the feed on boiler spur to your new spur on feed side, another cable on load side to your transformer for camera .
easy peasy lemon squeezy

I would get someone in that knows what they are doing and get them to wire everything up ect.
