I have three outdoor Arlo Pro 4 cameras that I wanted to hook up to charge all the time. The issue was I had no place to place all three USB chargers where they would not get wet.

 

The solution was purchasing a SocitBox from Amazon, its a electrical weatherproof connection box. They sell three sizes, I ended up using the small box, cost was $19.00. They also make two other sizes, that you can place power strips and other items.

I happen to use one of those boxes for my level 1 charger for my PHEV car. I have to use an extension cord to reach the outlet (no garage so it's all outdoors and the current draw is relatively small but I still use a 12 gauge extension cord) and this box works well.
