and whats to stop a potential intruder from snipping the power cord on that thing?

• mikestew 10y ago
  Same thing that stops a potential intruder from snipping the power cord on any other outdoor camera: nothing, if their arms are long enough or they brought a ladder (though there do exist sheathings that would give a knife or snips a good fight). A battery-powered cam is not an option for me. But the Nest cam isn't an option, either. I've got one of their indoor cams which is enough to tell me not to buy another one. First, they'll want another $10/month to make the camera useful. Second, ooooh, they made it waterproof. That's the Nest innovation at work! Given how much they've done with the thing since they brought DropCam, I'm going to pass on what I've concluded is a dead-end product. Alternatives? Meh, I don't have one. Though I did run over to Withings' site (I have one of their indoor cams I'm happy with) to see if they announced anything outdoorsy lately. They have not. If they ever do, I'll buy one.
