Included power cable for Google Nest cam (battery)

I have my camera mounted outside.  I want to hard wire the power to it.  I can drill a small hole to feed the cable and plug into a power receptacle inside of the house just on the other side of the wall only exposing a foot or less of cable to the outside.  Is this okay?  Can someone explain the weather resistant cables vs the standard issued cable?  I just don't see why I would need an additional weather resistant cable unless the connector is different.  Please advise and thank you.

The weather resistant “cable” is really a weather resistant charger.  You put the charger inside so you should be fine.

Hi there,

 

Sorry for my late response. Thank you for all of your patience while waiting for a reply. I just wanted to make sure that your issue is addressed. I am terribly sorry to hear that you have had such a hard time with this! I would love to look into this issue further and help find a solution for you. First off, I have some questions I’d like to ask you.

  • Do you still need help with this issue?

  • What troubleshooting steps have you done thus far? 

  • Have you tried to restart your device if you haven’t already?

  • If the restart didn’t work, have you tried to do a Factory Reset? This would be a last resort option, but would clear out issues and the device would essentially be ‘brand new’

Please let me know if you need further assistance. 

Best Regards,

Brad.
