This is also my concern, as there is no safety collar or anything to prevent a thief from covering their face and knocking the camera down or cutting the cable. And since the cable is very long and has a huge round block on it, it screams "Here I am, cut me". But, as someone said to me, "thieves are lazy" so hopefully the effort and the camera itself deter them and they just move along. Good news is, unless they have covered their face or you only have 1 camera aimed at the spot the one they go after, your video proof is already in the Nest Aware cloud.
