2nd gen outdoor wired cam

[AMC2000]

Has anyone connected the 2nd gen outdoor camera to existin low voltage wiring from a previous security system?

I am currently trying to figure out what what the connector is. 

https://youtu.be/Qn8qqwGkzos?t=9 is the best picture I have found of it to date, but the product description is terribly unclear with `Nest Cam Outdoor uses a 4-pin connector`. I have POE and have been holding off on moving to Google Cameras for my outdoor ones until these new cameras dropped. My hope was to use something like https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09C1D43CB but the connector definitely changed between the Battery and the wired. 

I am probably going to give it a week or so and see if we can get some unboxing videos out to show me the connector so I can find some POE Splitter to DC that works.

Hi @AMC2000,

Thank you for posting in the community. I understand you'd like to know if it's possible to connect a Nest Cam Outdoor (wired, 2nd gen)  to an existing low voltage wiring from a previous security system. I'm happy to assist you.

Could you clarify if you're asking whether the Nest Cam Outdoor (wired, 2nd gen) can use a power cable from a different model, like a first-generation Nest Cam or the Nest Cam (battery)?

Currently, there is no official information about the compatibility of accessories from different models of Nest Cameras, such as the power cables or adapters. Just keep in mind that your camera requires a specific voltage (12 V, 0.75 A) and the power adapter needs to be 9 W.

Keep me posted.

Regards,

Anders
