sammi probably not even pennies... fractions of a penny. If 1kWh of electricity costs 20p (high figure), that's enough to have a 1 bar (1000W) electric fire on for an hour. The most power hungry camera I've seen is a shade under 10W - so that's 20p per 100 hours (maybe 35p per week to have it on 24x7). Unless you're sourcing your cameras direct from China almost certainly costing you more in replacing cameras than you're saving, with less chance of the camera failing at the most inopportune moment.
