How do you feed the outdoor cord?
AlwaysTakeTheBike:
I have the DCS-8600LH outdoor camera but do not know the best way to feed the power cord to the inside plug. If I plug it into outside socket, socket is open to weather & intruder could just sneak around & unplug w/o being seen. can you feed the plug through a door or window w/o it being compromised? How did You do this?
apologies...earlier the post had the wrong camera model#

The 8000 is an INDOOR camera.

I was hoping that was the case :)
You can either make a hole into the house and plug it in inside or run an extension cord. I wish they made it easy to disconnect the cable from the camera so you do not have to make such a big hole to fit the cable through. Depending on your environment, make sure to weatherproof any openings.

Thank You. I just don't think we can drill holes for these. I know there are 2 completely wireless models but they're only in the UK (although were shown at the Las Vegas show); Have you heard if these are coming the US?
