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

Product Information

There are a variety of accessories available for Nest cameras such as weatherproof cables for outdoor installation, camera mountsand other power accessories.

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. 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. 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.

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. You can use the Nest Cam plugged in, or have it run on battery power alone.

Place the loop around the magnetic mount where it meets the wall. The loop should slip behind the faceplate. One of the key features I like most about the new Nest cameras is that the company is offering for free three hours of rolling video storage, as well as people, animal, vehicle, and custom activity zones. Because this three hours of video is stored on the camera itself, it also means that if your power or internet connection goes down, you will still be able to view any footage of someone who might come to your door.
