Installing IP Camera under soffit

[keepsafe 0]

I was hoping to install the IP camera under the soffit. Would this be fine? If so, how would I loop the POE cable to the inner of my garage?

I just want to know how to lift or open the soffit to loop the PoE from inside to outside

I'd probably just drill it at a seam, spread the seam out a bit to hook the cat5 with a bent coathanger and pull it through, leaving the cat5 hanging through the small hole you drilled. This is with the vinyl soffit that I'm familiar with where it just slides together and overlaps a bit. There's usually some play where you can bend and move it a bit. Your mileage may vary, but if you can get the cat5 outside and draped right over where you want the cam to go then that should be the hard part already done. No worries about getting the cable through maybe a couple of thicknesses of plywood spaced apart and fishing it through holes at weird angles where you can't see. Bigger holes can make life easier but they're more permanent and harder to hide if you ever decide to remove the cam or change mounting positions.
