I would opt for solid over stranded cable for any type of IP cam use.
Probably best not to have any exposed network devices (sheltered or not). I would even avoid having exposed cable if possible, even if it can at least be protected by some split tubing or better still, PVC conduit?is it a better idea for the poe switch to be outside? that way i run a cable from poe switch to the router.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!hmm now i'm thinking of hiring somebody to install the cat 6 through the walls.would a cat 6 spool from ebay be good deal? i typed in solid cat 6 cable and found this.

No, that cable is CCA (copper clad aluminum) not solid copper. You want solid copper.hmm now i'm thinking of hiring somebody to install the cat 6 through the walls.would a cat 6 spool from ebay be good deal? i typed in solid cat 6 cable and found this.

Give it a go first, you could always still get the installer to come in if you hit a road block, its a great way to get to know your home a little more intimatelyhmm now i'm thinking of hiring somebody to install the cat 6 through the walls.
