Another option is to mount a junction box (like this) outside. Just run the ethernet cable through the wall, instead of the camera's pigtail. This is a more future-proof method as you can change cameras without disrurbing the sealed wall penetration.

That's a good call. I wasn't sure on the cable seals and fitting all the wire through it and still being snug on the small cable.
Your local hardware store may rent you an SDS drill for the day if you don't need one day to day
Not sure which model this is, if it is the poe version, you only need to connect the ethernet cable, it will also power the camera.
That's what I'm doing, but the lot of it still needs to feed through. And the biggest bit is the rj45 bit anyway
This is a mistake. Get another camera you just need to attach to wall or one that takes micro USB for power.
Your library may have a borrowable SDS drill.
