I have a couple Nest Cameras Outdoor (Battery). Will 24/7 recording work when plugged in via POE? The camera shows that it is plugged and I can view live video. I have the Nest Aware Plus subscription and the "view 60-day event and 10 day 24/7 video ...

@MplsCustomer I really appreciate your comment and apparently I just didn't know what I was doing (first nest cameras). The timeline toggle is working and everything is there.

I did try it and 24/7 recording does not work with the POE adapter (5Volt) or the charging block (5volt) that comes with the nest camera. It shows that it is plugged in but does not record unless there is an event.

Yes it is just listed in the specs that it can when powered. I cant be the only one who has powered a Nest cam this way. Just want to confirm that 24/7 recording is or is not possible using this exact installation.

I actually don't have the AC cable, just the charging cable that came with it. I was hoping not to buy one just to test this since I wont be using the AC adapter.
