Can anyone tell me about the cable &amp; the lock?

Yeah it's pretty cheap and small. But the cover is excellent! If you use the cable correctly with the cover you can slide the cable through the small holes ( which are covered and hidden on the sides of the cover) the cable and lock are both pretty thin and could probably be cut quickly. I carried a heavier metal lock and used the cover and the small lock as another form of protection. It comes with 2 keys which is nice and the cover works great in all weather conditions and is pretty easy to pack away into its carrying case and store in a backpack or underneath the seat.

One end of the cable has a small loop on it and the other has the lock part. You wrap the locking end around any type of secure object (post, unmovable table leg, etc., and then thread it through the small loop and then lock it onto the case. Just about any type of object that can't be carried off and will enclose a section of the cable so it can't be removed without unlocking it, will work - you are just limited by the size of the object. I think the cable length is about 3 feet? It should be in the description. This means the larger the object you wrap it around the less play you have on the other end of the cable when you are trying to use your Ipad.

I have not received mine yet, but based on the pictures, I would think that a good cut resistant steel cable looped through a vehicle bumper or something similar (two cinder blocks is 80 lbs) with a strong pad-lock would at least deter a would-be thief somewhat. If a thief wants something bad enough they will find a way to get it. (Make sure that your system is listed on your homeowners insurance.) I plan on having a motion activated light & alarm aimed right at my charger as well.

I don't know if you can get replacement keys I would try to contact mfg. It might be cheaper to cut cable off and get a new one

It is spring loaded. Pull until it clicks and it locks, pull it again until it releases and it winds up automatically. Be careful to keep the cables even on each side, they will move. If you find they are uneven you can pull one side until they are even. Do not let the cables spring back without applying tension, they will tangle in the device.

Sorry I overlooked this request for so long. My hubby said it takes a padlock so it should take a cable. He also said search for the stealth cam lock box. He purchased one and it works well. We now have 3 of these cameras. Pleased with product although night pictures could be better.

Yes. Once you put the key in and turn to unlock the box, the silver part of the cable is easily removed... It basically falls out once you unlock it. The box also comes with a separate silver lock plug that has no cable attached to it

1/16th + - it's braided steel cable - I think regular side cutters would cut it if they tried for a while, but the point is that the alarm would go off. I always place it so that it can easily be seen and it has a blinking red diode - a potential thief would go for one without the hassle . . . at least that's my presumption

If you ran the cable through the bolt holes used for mounting then I am pretty sure you could. It Ian designed to work mounted and it does that perfectly. Don't know how it would do with a cable lock.

The lock itself is exactly the same. The K64670US has a coiled cable which cannot be stretched as far as the K64673AM cord, as there is tension on the cable when stretched. I bought both and sent the K64670US back.

These may seem obvious but first check to make sure you have the right key for the lock and then make sure the key is all the way into the lock. It is a Master Lock and my code starts with a P. Then turn it 1/4 turn clockwise. It may take a little force to turn it. If that doesn't work, try releasing some of the tension on the cable by lifting the camera up some. If all else fails, get out the bolt cutters and cut the cable and return it as defective. Good Luck

You must use a master lock python cable which goes through the holes in back of the security box.

I would imagine calling customer support would be a good start. I think is a bar code or some sort of serial number you can reference that would help them. Although looking at the keys they might be interchangeable look at someone else's lock if they have one like yours and give it a shot.

Also if you're talking about what actually secures the cable back to the "cocked" position it's actually a disc type thing that rotates in front of the cable when it's all the way back. You can't see it when it's not cocked and if it doesn't lock back you just need to pull the lever down more to fully cock it.

Mine locks but the locking cable has loosened. Does anyone have experience tightening it?

Sorry I'm not 100% sure, as I've had mine for several years, and mine is not available to test out, but I think to re set the code you have unlock it, and press in and hold in the small button on the cable side while you set the tumblers if it works you should be able to lock it. Hope this helps.
