I’m installing a flood light security camera outside my door.

I’m gonna connect it to a wall circuit instead of switch box.

I need to drill a hole on my house wall to pass the cable. What kind of cable should I use? Normal one or some kind of protected all weather cable.

Other than that its pretty easy.

Drill a hole, pass wire thro, attach camera to the wall, attach wire to camera. Connect to mains.

Is there anything else I need to know?

I would use an outdoor rated cable if it's for outside. After the hole is drilled and it's all fixed just spray some expanding foam in the hole.

Also I'm going to seal camera mounting bracket with silicone to prevent moisture getting in
