Battery vs Wired.

I am setting up my Nest Camera. If I go away for holiday - say 2 weeks - will the fully charged battery be enough or should I leave it wired in? I worry it might damage the battery if it's wired in continuously

Hi NestleChoc,

Thank you for contacting the community. I understand you'd like to ensure your Google Nest camera's fully charged battery will provide sufficient power during your holiday, and you're concerned about potential battery damage from wiring it in. I'm happy to help! 

Battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature and selected camera settings. You can extend the battery life of your camera by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events and using Activity Zones to monitor specific areas. Here are some typical scenarios.

Nest Cam (battery)

  • Busy – about 1.5 months battery life (about 20–25 recorded events per day)
  • Typical – about 3 months battery life (about 9–12 recorded events per day)
  • Quiet – about 7 months battery life (about 2–4 recorded events per day) 

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Regards,
Juan
