Nest Outdoor Camera - Wired

[MHoward053]

I currently have the Nest Cam Outdoor Battery camera and was looking to purchase a wired version to have 24/7 recording.  I do not see that Nest has a wired outdoor camera anymore.  Was it discontinued?  Is there a way to get a 24/7 recording for outdoor?

The only thing you can do is to purchase the optional power cable for the battery camera.  We've had that since Sept. 2021, when Google Nest quit selling the (wired) Google Nest Outdoor Camera, and we get 24/7 recording on our battery camera with our Nest Aware Plus subscription, and the camera runs off of household current.

Note that if you get the optional power cable AFTER you've already installed your battery camera, you'll have to remove the camera from the Google Home app, plug it in, and reinstall it.  There's an option that's available only during the install process to specify that your camera is plugged in.
