WIring up securiy cameras
I have some 12V wifi security cameras that I would like to hook up. Wondering how to hide the pig tails off the camera (reset button, ethernet and 12V plug) and get power to the camera. I have 120V near both cameras but right now I just have the pigtails coming from the camera wrapped around the camera mount. I ahve the 12V wall wart plugged in to the electrical outlet.
I can move the 120V line to a outlet up by the camera but still ahve to figure out how to supply 12V (doubt the wall warts will work long outside even if they are protected from the elements) and what do I do with the 12-18in of pigtail wires coming off the camera.
Picture would be great.
Take Care

Are these actually outside cameras ?
Outside cameras don't usually have pigtails coming off of them.
A make and model would be helpful or maybe a picture. How-to-insert-pictures

These are outside cameras. Dont have the exact model but chinese HD camera, ICamHi. Looking for tips on how to wire up so it has a clean look. At this point i am looking at installing a larger outlet box with a cover that would hide the wires
