It'd be great to show some examples of how folks have managed to wire up the Nest Cam from the outside to an outlet on the inside. I know it's highly dependent on the setup but even a couple of examples would be illuminating.

They now sell an aftermarket POE cable to power the cameras, that'd be way easier, safer and cheaper to run ethernet cable instead of a traditional power cord or romex to a new nearby box.

Hi David, thanks for reaching out and we apologize for the late reply. Depending on your internet connection, it should only take a few seconds when it senses motion to start recording.

[@markparkinson2393]

A few seconds is too long, ms would be appropriate

[@markparkinson2393]

Also I think this Google person is referring to your home network not internet. I would have a second router with dual band or quad band and and WiFi connect to it rather than a modem directly. Then you have more freedom of devices to view from and adding a recording device.

[@daviddecker821]

When the camera is on battery, what is the lag time between sensing motion and beginning recording?

I have nest cameras on my network and everyone until now I have been able to set up without issue. I recently has one fail in less than 12 months so quality is an issue with this product. Anyway I purchased a new one to replace the failed one and it is impossible to set up you can't get past the T & C's on the set up page on google home. I have not sent 2 support emails to google with no reply. I would strongly recommend choosing a different brand I wish I had.

Can the Nest Cam magnetic connector be attached from either direction if I want to change the angle of the cord for mounting purposes? What size diameter of a hole would be needed in order to fish this connector through a wall? I’d like to mount this on the exterior of a home while hiding the wires.

[@markparkinson2393]

The abilities this system provides as far as viewing and monitoring is awesome however, this system is limited by hardware "install", "maintenance" and hardwired capabilities using magnets and easily detachable wire connection at the camera. My personal opinions of course. For increased security of the system (outdoors) I would most definitely route the wires through the walls starting directly from the camera. Should the camera take a few seconds to begin it's functionality, I would need to fabricate and mount a steel cage about the camera, to give the camera more time to function before being hit with a bat or some other form of vandalism. Indoors however is what I see as the prime benefit for this product. With several cameras one could capture many images.

[@montgomeryb04]

It does seem easily detachable, but I heard they will replace it if stolen. I hope that's true. I plan on buying some.

[@Cosmikcitizen]

Can it be connected to a small pocket size solar panel or solar sticker to charge during the day without the need for a cable?

3:21 at 2 meters height people can easily give the camera a slap to disable it or jank it off the wall and run off with your camera.. Then the choice would be to have those camera features work, or put it high enough so it's not easily reachable

How long does the battery last once fully charged?

[@madebygoogle]

Hey there, thanks for reaching out. Battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and selected camera settings. You can extend the battery life of your camera by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas.

It doesn’t last long if there is a lot of activity. Seems like it’s always dead on the indoor cam. I did get cord to plug the outdoor one in and that works great. Just wish these cameras were easier to set up if changing internet. It’s a total pain and from the answers I’m seeing from Google here-well, they aren’t answers, just buying time.

[@coffeebeardtv]

Just got my nest cam out door at Walmart and it looks great!

[@tiggerda1]

the camera quality is good for 1080p. a siren and spotlight would have been nice though. but i cant believe GOOGLE bring out these cameras in 2021, and you cant stream the video to GOOGLE chromecast / apple tv / smart tv or even monitor it on a computer... but you can with almost every other brand of security camera. only way to monitor the footage is with the google hub or phone/tablet. i hope they hurry up and bring out an update to fix this problem.

Why don't the new NEST cams show up in the NEST app? The NEST app is far better than the Google Home app. This issue needs to be rectified. I don't like using 2 different apps to control all my devices. It's ridiculous.

@@madebygoogle I currently have 16 NEST/Google products in my home, I speak from experience. The Google Home app is far inferior to the NEST app. Google should consider adapting everything over to the NEST app platform. Google added nothing to the merger. Functionality went down the tubes. I'm too invested to switch to another company now, unfortunately. The platforms should have stayed separate.

Is there a Google support phone line? After updating my WIFI - The Nest Door Bell and IQ Cameras can only be added to my (structure account - my existing google account) by using the APP. I tried both iPhone and iPad with NO LUCK. After days of trying with no luck. I thought why not try to add them to a new (structure) account...........That worked. But I am already paying for the other (older) account that my 4 other cameras that are now working on and were easily added to my new WIFI. The problem is I would like them ALL in the same account and the same viewing screen. All using the same WIFI and same location.

How long the battery life on camera last with no charger ?

[@madebygoogle]

Hey Marten, thanks for posting. We appreciate your interest. The battery life of the Nest Cam (battery) will depend on how busy your street is. On a busy street with 20 - 25 recorded events per day, it'll last for about 1.5 months before it'll need to be recharged. Check out this helpful link for more details: goo.gle/3BRlxVd

@@madebygoogle I bought 2 camera battery and it's com with only one charger cord it's that's normal or should comes with 2 ?

[@madebygoogle]

Got it. The inclusion of a single cable is intentional. Your cameras shouldn't usually need to be charged at the same time due to differences in usage, such as event frequency or scene the camera is observing, sensitivity and event duration settings, etc. Let us know if you have other questions.

[@jamescombs2118]

This camera can not be hard wired and retrofit an existing fixture! You have to buy the floodlight cam!

Hey Faisal, thanks for your interest. Nest Cam (battery) comes with a strong magnetic mount that can withstand hurricane cat-2 wind speeds.

One massive omission seems to be in the Google app that you're now unable to set up a simple on/off daily schedule for the camera.. in the Nest app this was really simple, how on earth was this not included.. Google tech support seem to have no idea what's going on regards this. So at present the only option is to manually turn a camera on or off.. or just leave them on all the time.
