Anyone mount their cameras on a tree?

Thinking about adding 2 cameras on either side of a rather large oak tree in the front lawn facing left and right of the streets to record speeders up and down my streets.

Concern that as the tree grows it'll pull the wire. Obviously it's in front of the house so I have to make the cable nice and clean and an underground conduit so I can't have a bunch of loose wire dangling. Or I'll just have to do an annual adjustment of lowering the camera.
 
I mounted a ptz in a tree in Barbados a couple of years ago. We stay there ever year for the summer and I havent seen it move much. The pics show how its done in the islands.

@dannieboiz I looked at this earlier this year, however what I needed exactly wasn't in this version but will be in the next pro release. Talking to the programmer this is kind of a side "project" of some people's so it doesn't get heavy support and attention it sounds like. However I figured if it worked day 1, then who cares going forward especially since it would have been an inexpensive investment. Personally, I decided to wait but figured I'd share the link non the less. http://www.raserabwehr.de/
