Has anyone ever ran temporary cables through an exterior wall? How did you do it?
I have a few wildlife and bird box cameras I put out from time to time, but have to run the cables through an open window. I was thinking about putting a hole through the wall and running some standard waste pipe through as a conduit, then I can poke cables through whenever I'm setting up a camera. What I could probably do with is some sort of hinged box on the outside, similar on the inside and something to stuff in the hole for insulation.
I was thinking I could get an outdoor socket enclosure for the outside and just remove the socket. Not sure about the inside. At work where we have lots of cables coming into our fire sealed server room, the contractors have used some sort of fireproof bean bag to block any remaining holes. I've no idea what they are called.
Just wondering if anyone has done similar or has any ideas for how to make it work. If I leave a 50mm hole through the wall, my wife will kill me and we will probably get mice.
