Nest outdoor camera in a birdbox

[Bird1]

Hi! 

I've been considering assembling my own birdbox and with camera as a gift for my spouse. The variants I could buy online are quite expensive, require AC and I don't think the cameras are that good. Hence my question below.

Would the Nest Indoor/Outdoor camera be suitable? Can it film nearby subjects? Any thoughts on battery life? (I would have to put it so that I can access it to charge easily regardless)

Hi Bird1,

Thanks for reaching out here in the Community. Yes you may use the Nest Cam (Indoor/Outdoor, battery). It has a built-in rechargeable 6 Ah, 3.65V lithium-ion battery with 110° horizontal field of view up to 25 ft (7.5 m). Battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and selected camera settings. You can extend the battery life of your camera by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas. Here are some typical scenarios.
