   In a waterproof box, outside, under the overhang, like   
   https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RT6NWTR/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_3   
   I don't know how big the box should be until after I get the switch.   
   (Too often Amazon just says how big the package is, not the item.)

   Oops.   Well maybe not.   What should I do?   
      
   If I have the switch (or the hub in the case of USB cameras) inside,   
   then I have to run 3 cables through the wall (or the floor) and I don't   
   think I want that.  When it's outside, I need one ethernet cable and one   
   thin power cable for the switch.   In eiher case the length from inside   
   to the outside is now about 18 feet.

   Okay.  Right.
