Google Nest Cam Charge Cable - Replacement Cable for Nest Cam (Battery) Only - Snow

Product Information

Right now, the Nest Cam will only work within the Google Home ecosystem. If you have a smart display (such as the Nest Hub Max), you can view a live feed from the Nest Cam, and talk with the person on the other end. Given that Nest’s older cameras work with Alexa smart displays, it’s reasonable to assume that the new Nest Cam will too, in time. You can also use any third-party mount with a 1/4-20 thread, but it may affect the performance of your camera. If you want to plug your camera in to an outlet for continuous power, consider the following before drilling a hole through your wall: Use the included wall mount, use the Nest Cam stand (sold separately) or use a Made for Google accessory. The magnetic mount gives you a couple of options: The magnetic plate can firmly hold your camera in place on a metal surface (like a refrigerator) inside or outdoors. There’s no need to use the screws.

When mounting Nest Cam (battery) higher than 6.5 ft or 2m, use the secure loop accessory or the Wasserstein anti-theft mount, which also offers drop protection.

The company estimates that the battery will last up to 7 months if it records between two to four events per day, up to 3 months if it records nine to 12 events per day, and about 1.5 months if it records 20 to 35 events per day.

Install with the weatherproof cable

You can keep your camera plugged in, even outdoors, thanks to the Nest Cam weatherproof cable. It comes in two lengths, 5 m (16 ft) or 10 m (33 ft), and can easily be plugged in inside or outside in a weatherproof outlet. It even comes with cable clips, screws and wall anchors to route the cable for a clean install, and can be painted to blend in. As mentioned earlier, Google does sell an outdoor extension cord for the camera, but you’ll have to look to third parties if you want accessories like a solar panel.
