    on-off devices, such as stepper motors. In particularly, do not route power cord and network cable with such devices in parallel because such devices have strong electro-magnetic radiation which is easy to couple to the camera's transmission line.  Shelter grounds of all devices must be connected together and take single point grounding. Multi-point grounding easily leads to voltage difference between devices which form circuits to induce couple electro-magnetic interference.
