Q: Can this wire be used to power up cctv cameras? my cameras only come with a 6 ft power cable 2.1mm male - 5.5mm female 12v <4w

I dont see why not , your camera is a low wattage the wire is a one strand wire so it should work fine , I have 300 mini lights working threw the wiresand have had no issues , the wire is still cold after they have been on for many hours .there 12v 2w x 300.

Q: max voltage? max amps?

20 gauge wire is rated 10 amps in open air and 1.5 amps confined, so you have to modify your load depending on how you are running the wire. There is about .02amps (.24w at 12v) per "cut section" in 2835 smd striplights, so this wire run under trim molding or in an insulated wall (confined) will power up to 75 sections (each section has 3 emitters and 1 resistor) if it's 12 volts - but safe practice designs for half the capacity. 2835SMD striplights also come in 24v version and if that's what you have, you can run twice as many (twice the voltage uses half the amps for the same watts), but the 12v is more common in the US. However, if you surface mount this wire, say at the top of baseboard or crown molding in the room, then you can run many times more lights. If you surface mount it in a corner and then paint over it you have to de-grade it's capacity based on how well it can shed heat (I'd probably stop at 200 sections anyway).This type of insulation is typically safe up to 32 volts which is comfortably higher than your controller will deliver, but it could easily be rated to 90 volts - hard to know. Do not wire wall voltage thru it.

Q: Dumb question: how is this different from, say, speaker cable? Looking for a transparent or white option for extending.

I think the other responders read the question backwards. He wants to use speaker wire to connect his LED strips, not use this LED wire for speakers. There is no difference as long as you get a similar gauge wire, and it's stranded (not solid). You also need to respect the polarity, and most wires have some sort of distinguishing feature, usually either ribbing on the insulation, or different color wire strands (silver and gold). I think this is a good idea, and I'm considering doing the same. I think a single insulation color would look more professional than the red/black, though I'm leaning toward solid black insulation.
