Default How to rewire backyard security camera properly?

Is there a better way? Thanks


If it's a multi-way cable, I'll solder and heatshrink individual wires,
then use a big bit of heatshrink over the outer to stop moisture getting
between the outer sheathing and the individual wires and potentially
causing a problem later.

If the video connection's rusted it sounds like you might want to add some
form of shroud to the back of the camera at the same time (seal it with
caulking or whatever) just to keep moisture off and avoid the same
thing happening in a few years (but as someone says, don't box it all in
to avoid condensation issues)

cheers
