Wireless camera battery life

[Lelach]

My camera battery doesn’t last more than a week. After 4 hours of fully recharging, I am now at 70% battery. How can this be optimized?

Google has some good guidance on this in these two help articles:

Troubleshoot low battery issues for Nest cameras and doorbells

Yes I still need help. Three days after Coming off a fully charged state, the camera now reads 3 days left . I can not use the camera in this fashion. Must be a bad battery batch. I have other nest wireless  cameras that are good to leave for months without recharging.

I have exactly the same issue. Bought a new Nest doorbell entranced by the stories of up to 6 months battery life

First charge, lost 30% in one day. Naturally I made some changes to reduce the pink area etc but after a couple of weeks I’m still using >20% per day

Next week it will have to go back to Amazon unless I’m missing something. Then I have to work out what to do with holes in door architrave

Hi there,

Thank you for your patience, I know that keeping your Nest devices charged is very important, and I would love to help you out. When it comes to keeping your Nest Doorbell (battery) or Nest Cam (battery) up and running, here are some articles and troubleshooting guides for the best charging practices:

• This is a great article on general charging times for your devices.
• This helpful article tells you how to save the battery with your doorbell or camera.
• And this last article, will go over charging expectations when you may live in a cooler/colder environment which will address charging temperatures, etc.

I hope those articles help shed some light on charging and maintaining battery levels of your Nest doorbell or camera. Please let me know if you need further assistance.

Best regards,

Brad
