Hi all.

What is the typical cost of installation for
2 lines for security camera, 2 switches, 2 amp breakers,
2 wires to be recessed through basement joist and inside drywall
install 1x 100Amp sub panel, and spare breakers

Also is a 100Amp sub panel adequate?

Thank you.

Adequate for what? Security camears? I think it's probably overkill. Subpanels are for heavy loads located far from the main panel, for example Hot Tubs, EV chargers or a second livable building on the property. What else are you planning to connect to it?

Most security cameras are quite low amperage (probably 1A or 2A) so need to understand more about your project and why you feel you need to even add new breakers and a subpanel for something that draws such little power.

Cost wise I'd estimate about $600-$1000 depending on the difficulty and time to run the wires through.
