This document describes a security camera with an angled cable attachment for an increased downward viewing angle. The security camera is battery-powered and can be magnetically coupled to a mounting device and electrically connected to another device via a cable. The cable has a cable attachment that, when coupled to the security camera, is angled toward a front of the security camera. This cable angle enables an increased downward tilt angle of the security camera by reducing interference of the cable attachment with the mounting device when the security camera is tilted downward. The security camera also has exposed contacts on a printed circuit board that connect with pins on the cable attachment.
