You plug it into a regular plug and the wire is simply thin it can be ran into your attack and you can purchase longer extensions if needed. You can also use the wire holders which come in the package which make it look professional and crisp. I have owned several brands and the Nest Outdoor Camera is the best in my opinion. The reason they must be plugged in to a power source is due to the quality of video and all the features it has. The battery operated cameras doesn’t allow you to stream video nonstop on a product like the Google Home Hub which I use along with the app. Even though the wires are thin and required, it didn’t stop me from purchasing three total cameras yesterday. I have own one in the past and had home invasion and before it was damaged, it recorded great video quality which helped catch the criminals involved. I have since moved and just feel comfortable with this brand as it never has disappointed me whatsoever. I give it 5 stars without doubt! The image I’m attaching is from the Google Home Hub and it’s only recording at the moment in 720 as I have too much smart devices on my WiFi which I will be upgrading when XFINITY opens then change all three to highest quality, 1080. The cameras themselves doesn’t use a ton of bandwidth though, I have over 12 smart home products hooked up along with my TV, cable box, MacBook, and iPhone.. oh yea, and the Xbox...
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I've plugged it in to an electrical outlet inside my garage. There's no battery powered option when i bought mine. I think hardwired power connections is the most reliable option for live video streaming.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Nest Cam Outdoor is not designed to be plugged into the main power, but the Nest Cam cable is 25 feet long. We don't have a battery powered Nest Cam option, but we would be more than happy to pass this feedback along to the appropriate department for review on your behalf.
