    It should be as long as you get UL rated cable. This means the wire is insured not to start a fire. I know of a place you can get wire that is UL rated. The company is called Security Cameras Direct. They have siamese wire. This is RG59 coax with 18/2 wire attached to it. This allow you to have 1 cable for video and power. See the link below.

    I do not have the electrical code book, but I don’t see how it could be a violation to run 12 volts at low amperage along with a couple of signal wires inside drywall.
