How to water proof outdoor cables

(1/2) > >>

captgadget:
So I finally got this camera running but now I have these cables exposed to all the weather elements of South Texas minus snow. Anyone have any suggestions on how one might waterproof these cables?

davidmc36:
That connector set up is a drawback of this camera.

For mine I drilled a hole in the barge board and passed the whole thing inside under cover. I put an access panel in the vented soffit right underneath to access the reset button.

may be a little overkill but do have small size

By golly I think I can make that work. Thanks

I have a bigger box at school for the rain gauge heater etc.
