Another reason is having to climb a ladder just to charge the camera.</P> Tue, 21 Sep 2021 00:34:54 GMT https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Cameras-and-Doorbells/Whats-the-best-way-to-re-align-the-camera-after-charging/m-p/14683#M2582 MplsCustomer 2021-09-21T00:34:54Z https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Cameras-and-Doorbells/Whats-the-best-way-to-re-align-the-camera-after-charging/m-p/14848#M2620 <P>I can see that as a viable alternative. especially for the higher priority cameras .... I could run an extension cord to near the locations I guess, and charge them in place when needed, that's definitely not a bad idea!</P> Tue, 21 Sep 2021 15:15:53 GMT https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Cameras-and-Doorbells/Whats-the-best-way-to-re-align-the-camera-after-charging/m-p/14848#M2620 bessertier 2021-09-21T15:15:53Z
