A hammer drill (even a Harbor Freight one will do fine for a one time project) and masonry bit will drill through brick just fine. Put the line through, use raintight fittings, and then seal the hole with caulk. It's definitely not beyond DIY.

It definitely isn't beyond what normal people can do because I did exactly that (even bought a Harbor Freight hammer drill) and I'm pretty clueless when it comes to this kind of thing.

I ended up mounting it too high though. At the time I was a little afraid of somebody stealing or damaging the camera but now I realize I was being stupid.
