Gonna put up an ip camera in the garden and see what wildlife comes by at night.

Edit: job completed. Frigate is pulling the stream…

    There’s a specific jacket material that makes it outdoor rated. It is UV resistant and handles temperature variation better. Some are gel filled so that there’s water resistance too. If it’s being buried you need the gel; if it’s an aerial cable you need shielding. The jacket material, gel, and shielding all make the cable harder to work with, and more expensive.

        I really doubt shielding will make a difference. It’s mostly useful for running it along power lines, through factories or places with lots of EM interference.

        I should hope OPs garden is pretty quiet.
