I'm surprised by the exposed cable. Depending on placement, this might not be a big issue but it's the first thing I noticed...

Also - no mention on the cable length provided. I'm assuming there will be a requirement to have an electrical outlet internally or externally within the vicinity.

Maybe it is a decoy cable. The attacker will cut it, thinking they disabled the camera...

According to the store description, it comes with a 25 foot cable and an AC adapter. I'd be more worried about what that AC adapter looks like, and where I can plug it in, my outdoor outlets are recessed a bit.

Nice to see, but before I buy another Nest product, I need to see the App and Website get some serious performance and usability updates. I'm more tempted to go with a Foscam at this point.
