Nest Cam IQ - Using low voltage wiring instead of included wall plug

Nest Cam IQ - Using low voltage wiring instead of included wall plug

Hi There! Im new to the forums but looking for help with my security cameras. I have old security cameras on my house hard wired via low volatage (network cabling it looks like) to a central multi-channel power supply in my bedroom closet. I want to replace the cameras with Nest Cam IQ Outdoor cameras, so I purchased one to see what I could do. My hope was I could splice the included USB-C cable to my existing low voltage wires, supply the correct voltage at the multi-channel power supply box and be on my way.

Can I just crimp the wires together with ends? Why is it necessary to solder?
