Do the Blink units (either DCQC ones or the L2 ones) have any provisions for detecting that their charging cables have been severed by vandals/thieves? And is it too much to hope for that there was enough money in the Blink DCQC stations' budgets (after the big flatscreen video display) to include a surveilance camera, triggered by said detector?

No, there is a "security tag" that is supposed to prevent opening the unit however they made the hole exactly the same size as the tag (fail). Even the EVI ICS Avcon EVSEs could at least tell if the cord was being yanked on too hard, nothing even like that on the Blink units.

He was asking about public units, not home ones.

The public units only have an RFID tag reader embedded. No other differences.
