Point to Junction Boxes for Soffit Mount?

So I have 3 IPC-HDW2231R-ZS camera's. When I originally ordered the first 2 (Thanks Andy!) I ordered them with junction boxes. However I ended up actually mounting them directly to the soffit (Which we don't have any crazy weather here and they actually seem VERY secure for just being to the soffit) I didn't end up putting the junction boxes on them. I have the waterproof connector on them (but the connector is up in the attic and not exposed). For the 3rd camera I ordered I didn't get a junction box. Am I missing out? it doesn't seem like it would help that much when it's mounted directly to the soffit?
