I personally would've mounted it up higher, closer to the door. Someone could be around the corner, reach around and snip the wires and you would never know who it was because the camera is shielded by the corner. Otherwise, very good improv set up!

Thanks for posting. I wondered if the wire could be cut/spliced. I didn't have the nerve to do it. I do tend to agree with others that a doorbell would be better because it alerts the nest hub whereas the camera only alerts the phone. Ring on the other hand alerts Alexa from any/all devices.

That is where the hole was :) The camera is on a magnetic mount by default - even if I put it 8 feet up - someone could easily get it. Any higher, and it looses the purpose of being a door camera. There are much better solutions for higher security applications including bolted enclosures. Even well out of reach an attacker can throw a stone and knock it off the magnetic mount.

Its all about your requirements and the requirements of the particular environment. In my case - isolated semi-rural home with very little pedestrian traffic it is mostly about using it as a visitor and delivery monitor. Aesthetics also being very important. In a higher-risk environment - definitely put it out of reach, secure it with a proper enclosure so a stone won't knock it off its magnetic mount... probably don't use Nest to begin with since a basic WiFi jammer will take it out and those are very easy to obtain/build.

The whole camera is on a magnetic mount (you can see me clipping it on in the video). You can just pull it off the wall and let it dangle facing the wall. If you want professional strength installation, you really should look for a security enclosure, etc. etc. This is decidedly home-strength product - hoping that you will catch on camera the fact that it is getting disabled and react.

I was thinking the same exact thing. This a very poor design in my opinion, specially since it simply latches on with a magnet and isn't fit onto the base with screws. In some parts of specific cities/neighborhoods that thing would be gone in less than 60 seconds. LOL That thing costs about 160 bucks (give or take) and isn't worth the money, in my opinion. Like you said already, a doorbell camera would be a way better and safer option. If he's going for security, that thing isn't going to do the trick. Then he needs a proper device that is mounted somewhere near the roof (WITH SCREWS) and that overlooks an entire space, not just a tiny spot. No idea why he went for that specific camera. SMH

CaLxRoyalty as I said to another viewer - the camera is on a magnetic mount. Anyone can just pull it down. This is decidedly a low security / home strength solution. For stronger Solutions consider something with a metal camera enclosure. ( NOTE - you will get an alert if the camera goes offline or detects a ton of motion such as dangling) One thing to consider is that Nest intended to have the camera powered from an external power outlet. So running most of the cable through the wall is still better than the suggested installation method that most Nest users have.

I would prefer to use a larger diameter carbide bit and drill a bigger hole in the stone wall. Easy to seal with silicone than cut the cable. Someone standing on the side out of view of the camera could easily cut the cable and camera is dead. I thought Nest has option for cable to come out the back thru the mounting plate where cable is hidden and protected. Sorry but an amateur installation job that can easily be defeated by any amateur with a wire cutter.
