How do I enable my Nest Cam battery to remain on?

[rayray519]

Is it possible to leave the outdoor nest cam on all the time?  I have my nest wired doorbell On always, but only capturing things which come into the zones.  Can this also be done with the outdoor cam?

Looks like an always wired connection will fix this.   Now, gotta find the 5m power cable that won't take months to arrive.

We've had a Google Nest Camera (Battery) plugged in and "Live" all the time since Sept. 2021 with the optional 10-meter power cable.

Home Depot, eBay, and Amazon seem to have the 5M power cable in stock.
