• A:Answer Hi, Pete! Yes, you can charge the Nest Cam (battery) with a solar panel. You might wanna check for the Wasserstein Solar Panel for Nest Cam (battery). With sufficient direct sunlight, it trickle charges your Google Nest Cam (battery) and the camera runs off the battery charge. You may contact your retailer for product availability.

Q: QuestionHow far from Wifi router can camera be placed and work?

Asked 3 years ago by Anonymous.

This question was asked about the related product: Google - Nest Cam 2 Pack Indoor/Outdoor Wire Free Security Cameras - Snow

• A:Answer It depends on how strong your Wi-Fi signal is. Your camera may be out of range if more than 25 feet from the router and can become disconnected due to weak signal. If your camera is mounted too far from your Wi-Fi router, you may need to extend your Wi-Fi network’s range using an extender, boosters or additional Wi-Fi access points. Nest cameras can connect to your Wi-Fi on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bandwidths, but 5GHz bandwidth has a smaller coverage compared to 2.4GHz.

Q: QuestionCan this camers be added to my nest app?

Asked 3 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer NO! You will need to get google home app. Your old nest items can work with google home app but I’ve found it’s not 100 % compatible. While you can keep your old nest app with your old nest items while still using google home app with your new google nest & nest. I have both google home & nest as viewing my old nest products works better on the nest app. But google home is very smart & can be compatible with so much stuff. I have lights around my home hooked up to my google home app, able to shut off lights simply from the app. I could go on in which google home app offers there is a lot compatible just not our old nest products. I miss nest, it was a great product.

Q: QuestionDo I need to subscribe to have live footage?

Asked 3 years ago by Montes.

• A:Answer There's no fee to stream full resolution live video and receive basic notifications, as long as your camera is connected to the internet. Also, the Nest Cam (battery) comes with event video history without a subscription, which will automatically expire and be deleted after 3 hours. You’ll need a Nest Aware subscription to receive full and extra features. Check what you can get with the Nest Aware subscription here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9233159
