Brush faceplate alternatives

[James Cherry]

Hi

I've got a Nest outdoor camera. I don't have an outdoor socket so need to run the cable indoors to a wall socket.

The end of the cable has a weatherproof USB plug which is just under an inch in diameter and can't be removed. The cable itself is much narrower.

So basically I need to drill a near 1 inch hole through the wall but don't want a gaping hole around the cable and the wind blowing in. I've seen brush faceplates that might be a tidy solution but wondered if anyone else had a better suggestion?

Thanks

One of my customers asked me to fit one of these the other day interesting reading!

I wouldn't recommend nest personally, i dont like the subscription service for storing footage either. A bit like apple with the I-phone they are the 'premium' well known brand but not necessarily the best i would actually go for the Samsung smart cameras, available for less than £140, often on promo for £120 if you look.
Samsung SNH-E6440BN is one I have installed and set up, the customer loves it as it shows good images of her audi on the drive. i find it to be far superior with much better image quality as well.
