   Yes, that's a much better idea that what was floating in my head, buying   
   a USB plug.  Cutting the wire and then splicing it is much simpler and   
   will look better.

   I guess I can use a standard $10 hub and buy a plain box, and do all the   
   assembly and testing in one room before attaching anything outside.   
   Hmmm. Because the downspout is in the way, I was going to have to make a   
   box for the camera to stand on. It can hold the waterproof box too.  Two   
   layers of waterproofity.
