Hello everyone, written from Italy, from Rome to be precise. 😊
I am about to buy several cameras for my home. I would like, please, the support of expert users.
The doubts are the following:
- If after many years the battery runs out completely and therefore ends its life cycle, is there a way to replace it or do I have to buy a new video camera?
- Is there a way to stay safe when you are home and turn off or black out the battery powered video camera? I understand that I can disconnect the wifi, but it is a bit inconvenient...
- How many cameras can I have in my system?
Thank you so much for your valuable support. 🤗

The battery in the battery camera is not designed to be user-replaceable.
I'm not sure what you mean by your second question. It is possible to turn off the camera in the Google Home app.
Google Nest had a limit of 10 cameras and doorbells in the Google Nest app, but there seems to be no limit for the 2nd gen cameras in the Google Home app or in a Nest Aware subscription.
We've had a battery camera since Sept. 2021, and are glad ours is plugged in with the optional power cable. Because it is plugged in, we get 24/7 recording with our Nest Aware Plus subscription and we don't have to worry about the camera not waking up from "Idle" mode to detect and record an event.
