Shouldn't be any problem. I assume the video is run in shielded cable?

Since you changed the voltage to 120 volts AC. I think that is against code in most jurisdictions.

You can't splice a 120 VAC cable in a buried conduit, however there is little problem with interference if the video cable is shielded. Code requires that the video cable be insulated against 120 VAC. Odd I know but it's true.

Yes, shielded.

I haven't done video, but I have put eithernet, phone and 240 volt in the same ditch. Both in different pipes, I fugured pipe is cheap, especially when it gives you a little spacing from the voltage. I put the 240 volt at

Not really what you asked, but I thought it might help. Like I say, plastic pipe is cheap, but the ditch is expensive. If you use a backhoe as opposed to a trenching machine, you even get 15 or 20" apart at the same depth. In my area code is 30" on the electric, and 24" on the phone.
