Wait, if there's stand-offs built into the base then perhaps they mean for it to remain open. Trapping humidity is a bad thing, especially when it's from condensation due to heat/cold changes. That and isn't that circular 'skirt' designed to cover the base flange?
A better idea, perhaps, is not to cut that big a hole in the soffit but to use another piece of material mounted on it. As in, pickup a nice section of Versatek or other synthetic lumber, cut holes in that and then just drill a large enough cable for the wire through the soffit. That way you're not stuck with whatever this particular camera requires.
It might be possible to use something like a siding wall mount for a lamp or something.
