I was gonna DM you but I figured I might as well keep it here in case it can help someone else :)
It looks like the first few inches of cable coming out of the camera (the segment with the power/ethernet splitter) is outdoor rated. It’s just the thin extension cable and power block cable that are meant for indoors it seems.
Being sure that it’s compatible, I could run this outdoor rated cable all the way to a junction box right beside the outlet, instead of installing conduit the whole way. Is that a crazy idea?
No worries man, glad to help.

So what if I bought something like this?

Yeah, as long as it’s rated for outdoors you should be fine. And a little extra tape and heatshrink are always worth it in the long run.
Amazing. I wish I could pay you but I hope my thanks are enough :)
