A:AnswerHi 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.

A:AnswerThanks for asking, karen. The Nest Cam (battery) 3 pack comes with a single cable and power block with purchase. If you're looking for more they are sold separately.
A:AnswerNone 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.
A:AnswerThey work both indoor and outdoor so yes. If you have the subscription you can also set up familiar faces so it can tell you when someone you know is in sight.
