   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.
