I wanted to get some waterproof/outdoor cameras that plugged into the
PC, or maybe something that connected straight to the PC.
But all I see for sale are cameras meant to clip to the monitor, not be
screwed to the wall.
Or if they are meant for outside, they are either wifi or they are meant
to go to some sort of separate video recorder.
Do they sell what I want?
I\'m not worried about burglars or porch thieves, I just want to look at
my yard when I\'m inside. There is some wildlife that spend time there,
but I have no window on that side of the room I spend a lot of time in,
and even if there wwere I window, I\'d have to stand up, leave my work at
my desk, stand on the bed and look down at the yard. I want to be able
to watch on the PC monitor instead. --- If I went outside, most of the
animals would run away
I hoped to have 3 cameras**. A real bonus would be if I could do
something like run all 3 into one hub and just run one wire through the
window frame or wall. (Darn, I found what they call a waterproof
enclosure for a 4-port hub, but it\'s showing just a regular $10 hub and
a box without only one usb jack. By Sabrent but Amazon has no ratings
and no Q&A. I\'ll keep looking, or make my own?)
It it possible to cut the the USB connector off of a cord, slide the
wire through a hole, cut the wire to the desired length, and reattach a
USB conector?
**One facing the front, one to the right of that, and one mounted a foot
or two away, around the corner of the house, facing the side yard.
