Continuity mistake: When Tintin says "If they see me with the scepter they'll know something's wrong", the scepter is visible in his right pocket. Two shots after this, the scepter cannot be seen in his pocket, but then it can be seen when the shot cuts again. (00:41:35)
Chosen answer: If Hector was seriously intent on removing King Ottokar's scepter from the glass cage holding it and launching it through the window with the camera, then Hector would have been forced to knock out the two guards so they would not have interfered with Hector's plan as soon as he removed the scepter from the glass. As for Hector, himself, was explained when Tintin was explaining how Hector stole the scepter. Tintin placed a twig inside the camera and it launched out of the camera. Hector would have placed the scepter inside of the camera, and would have been knocked unconscious due to the spring effect created when the scepter had been launched.
