Exposed Cable Does Not = Security

Please redesign the Duo PoE camera so that the cable is completely hidden within the mounting bracket. It's especially annoying that many of your product photos show the PoE cable running down a wall right to where a "bad actor" can snip the thing. Security?

@kevin_603403140067368 Good point. Was amused that the video on how to mount the camera completely ignores that large hole in the mounting bracket. Video makes a big point about using the "weatherproof" sleeve to protect the PoE Ethernet cable, but completely omits how to weatherproof the 12v. power socket and the Reset switch. My solution would be:

• Mount the camera high enough that an intruder cannot reach it easily.
• Drill a hole in the wall or soffit and pass the entire bundle of cables through the hole where they are (a) protected from weather, and (b) hidden from intruders. With regular RLC cameras, that large hole is completely hidden by the mounting bracket, so a bead of caulk around the mount waterproofs the building penetration. With this design - meh.

No idea why Reolink persists in using that "bundle" of three wires with PoE cameras.

@kevin_603403140067368 I fully agree with you. Additionally the arm should have been stronger as in strong winds you will see the camera shaking.
