Outdoor camera power options?

[Skippieofbvi]

Hi, I'm looking at the outdoor camera for a remote cottage and have several questions.  First, can we buy it with the ability to connect it to 110 volt wired power vs battery powered.  Second, what is the expected re-charge time at ambient (room) temperature and I'm presuming that the battery is rechargeble and the recharge power unit comes with the camera.

I do know, unless you live in the Sahara desert solar will not work like you think.

We've had a Google Nest Camera (Battery) for 19 months, plugged in with the optional 10-meter power cable to a 110V outlet. The camera has remained online and live through two Minnesota winters with temperatures as low as -20 degrees Fahrenheit, and Minnesota summers with temperatures as high as 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

The camera comes with a 1-meter charging cord, but the camera has to be dismounted in order to charge it, and customers in this forum report a wide range of experiences with how often it needs to be charged. In addition, when operating on battery power, the camera is in "Idle" mode and does not do well at waking up to detect and record events.

Hi everyone,

Just one quick final check in here since activity has slowed down. We'll be locking the thread in the next 24 hours, but if you still need help, I would be happy to keep it open. If there's more we can do, just let me know.

Thanks,
Jeff
