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)

HD and Lowes have weatherproof splice kits that work well. There are
different sizes for splicing electrical power cables down to phone
wires. You still have to install whatever the appropriate connectors
are needed for your cables (unless one of the included connection
blocks works for you) but then you lay your finished connection in the
thick black goop and close the clamshell around it. The nice thing is
you can reopen it later if needed.
