5 Volt PD Board Splicing

We have found some places that the analog breakout module should go to the 5V slot on the PD board (we have tested it and it works). However, the camera should also go there. I have looked through the rules, and this year, we are allowed to connect up to three sets of cables to the 5V slot; however, can this break the module? I have done some reasearch, and several people have said that running the module through the 20 amp breaker on the PD board is too much power. Otherwise, could we possibly hook the camera up through some resistors into the 20 amp slot on the PD board? Thanks!
