First you have to find the camera in the list of smart home devices, and then you see a remaining battery life estimate when you tap on it. The same is true if you launch the Google Home app to see the live stream. Plus, when the camera is running on battery power, it can take a few extra seconds to receive a notification simply because it takes a short while for it to come out of its low-power ‘idle’ mode. Where a thumbnail image of the event is supposed to appear, a blank space was displayed on the Apple Watch.
In my testing with an iPhone and Apple Watch, rich notifications didn’t work properly. Mount it facing a busy road and it will be constantly waking up and deciding if it needs to record the motion it has detected or not.
Nest Doorbell (Battery), battery life will depend on a variety of factors including temperature, the video quality settings you choose and the clip duration.īut the biggest factor is where you point the camera, and therefore what it sees. Google has fitted the new Nest Cam with a 6000mAh battery which can last for months, but only if there isn’t too much activity in the camera’s view. It might look a bit like the old Nest Cam Outdoor, but this an entirely new beast.
If that’s your plan, you will need to buy the optional outdoor power cable (as the one included in the box isn’t water resistant).
