Can the Cam work without being connected to power?

[simongoodrich]

We are in the process of placing our new Neat Cam outside. We ordered the battery one for this reason. Question - does it need to be connected to mains power? How long does the battery last for?

Being a battery device, it does not need constant power but you will need to recharge it at some point.

Google rates the battery life as follows however your mileage will vary:

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)
