Outdoor nest cam IQ power cable

I have a Outdoor Nest Cam IQ.  The installation was 14 months ago by google pros.   The power cable has failed, and the only way I could fix it was to purchase a new camera.  Cannot find replacement cable anywhere.  Now I have an extra $360 camera I would like to use.

I have a nest cam IQ camera that does not work due to faulty power cable.  I can find not replacement cable anywhere.   I was forced to buy an entire new camera to replace the cable.  I was told by the ONTech installer that when the cable went bad, one had to replace the entire camera (and thereby throw a $359 camera in the trash.  I did not believe that could be true.   But apparently it is.  How do I obtain an new cable so I can install my new camera?

I would like to find a new cable so that I can install my new camera in another location at my house.  So no, my original query has not been answered.

Thank you for writing. 

I purchased a nest door bell and 2 nest cam IQ cameras for outdoor security.   These were purchased and installed from Google recommended installers, On Tech on May 29, 2020.   I noted one camera was not working a number of months ago, but did not call OnTech until this month.  When the repairman arrived he said the camera was bad.  I could either install a whole new camera or one on the newer model wireless versions.   I was of the correct mindset that the camera was fine, and there was a problem in the power wire.  To get a new power wire, I had to buy a whole new camera.   I did so, thinking I would install the new camera once I obtained new wire.   I found it shamefully wasteful to throw away a perfectly good expensive camera for lack of a wire.  However, there is no replacement wire anywhere to be found.   Thus, I have a brand new, in the box camera that cannot be used and spent nearly $400 getting to this point.  I need a new plug and wire to install the new camera. 

Any advice???

 

Thank you,


JD
