What to Know About the New Google Nest Cam (Battery)

Google recently announced the release of a handful of new security products. These include different versions of their smart doorbells and security cameras.

In particular, the Google Nest Cam (Battery) is an attractive option for those who want to buy an indoor or outdoor security camera. The camera can be self-installed and doesn’t need to connect to the home’s wiring. Find out more about this smart security device from Google.

To use the camera inside, most people will probably use the stand and set it on a shelf. The camera also has a mount for outdoor use.

Google says that almost everything needed to mount the waterproof Google Nest Cam (Battery) outside comes in the box. The installer may only need a drill, a 3/32″ bit, and a Phillips screwdriver. Mounting the camera’s base on bricks or another hard surface takes a hammer and masonry drill.

According to TechCrunch, the camera should last about three months on a charge. Camera owners can also wire the device to the home’s electricity, so they won’t need to worry about recharging it a few times a year. In contrast to security cameras that only work when connected to the home’s electric wiring, this security camera can function during short power outages.

Some features of the Google Nest Cam (Battery) include:

With the ease of mounting and plenty of advanced features, the Google Nest Cam (Battery) looks like a useful, convenient security camera. Homeowners can also choose to use it inside or outside.

On the other hand, some critics have wondered if the magnet that attaches the camera to the outdoor mount makes the device too easy for thieves to remove. Google does offer an optional anti-theft mount that may offer better security. People who aren’t overly attached to Google devices might also want to compare the Nest to Canary security cameras.
