• A:Answer Hi there, Sathya. The battery consumption on the Nest Cam (Battery) will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and selected camera settings. On average here’s how long the battery will last on a single charge: Busy - About 1 month battery life (about 25 - 30 recorded events per day) Typical - About 2.5 months battery life (about 13 - 16 recorded events per day) Quiet - About 6 months battery life (about 2 - 5 recorded events per day) Here’s a few tips to conserve battery: 1. Optimize its video quality. 2. Shorten the length of time for which events are recorded. 3. Take longer to begin recording between events.

Q: QuestionWhat is the maximum run for these cameras using POE, before you need a power booster for the ethernet run?

Asked 11 months ago by Poweroverethernet.

• A:Answer None of the Nest cameras support a wired connection for video. The older one supports a USB power connection, while this one supports a flexible connector that permits power from a line adapter (USB) or a solar panel. Wasserstein (a third party company) make a PoE adapter for about $30, but it's only going to be for power. You'll still use WiFi for the data connection.

Q: QuestionDo you have to have a subscription for these cameras

Asked 1 year ago by Pete.

This question was asked about the related product: Google - Nest Cam 3 Pack Indoor/Outdoor Wire Free Security Cameras - Snow

• A:Answer You can use the cameras without the subscription they just dont have as many features without it. I didnt have it at first and they seemed to on purposely miss things. It only stores about 3 days worth of footage without the subscription not features like facial recognition stuff like that. Once i got the subscription it seemed to pick up even the tiniest of movements effectively and recongnizes people lets you set names lets you set zones. So no you dont need it but ot makes it better. Which to me kinda suck you pay alot for a camera you should get all the features without tje subscription.
