Nest Cam (Battery) Reports Empty Battery - Plugged In

iamdmcgetti — Wed, 29 Dec 2021 13:03:55 GMT

I have my Nest Cam (Battery) plugged in using the Nest 10m cable, but it will display "Device offline because of an empty battery". If I unplug it and plug back in it works fine for a while, a few days, and then the message will pop back up again. I have 3 Nest Cam (Battery) that are plugged in and only one has this issue, any ideas?

I think you probably should contact support. I don't have it handy, but I did see one other post here about someone that had the same basic issue, and it turned out to the be the 10m cable/supply. I presume there are some faulty ones out there.

If you're willing to switch your cameras up a bit temporarily, you could also just swap them. If the issue moves to the new location, then it's probably the camera. If it stays with the current location, it's probably the cable/supply.
