Google Nest Cam (Indoor or Outdoor, Battery)

Put the camera where you need the view.

Your dog’s resting place does not have to sit beside a plug socket just to keep it in view. Nest Cam Battery offers rechargeable indoor or outdoor placement, so you can move it as the setup changes. Plan for recharging and check Wi-Fi coverage in the chosen spot.

WHAT TO CHECK FIRST

Four things to check before choosing the battery camera

01

Where would a camera be most useful?

Choose the room, gate or entrance you want to see. Battery power gives you flexibility when a wired camera is awkward to install.

02

Can you see the area clearly?

Check that the angle covers your dog’s bed and floor space, or the entrance you want to monitor.

03

How will you keep it charged?

Allow for charging interruptions as well as mounting position. Check the battery level in the app and make the camera accessible for recharging; activity, settings and weather affect battery life.

04

How much video history do you need?

Core live view and alerts may be enough. Longer history and some advanced features require a Google Home Premium subscription.

FIT, USE & SAFETY

Choose the position that gives you the best view

Mount the camera securely and test the live view, Wi-Fi, night vision and alerts in the Google Home app. Keep the camera and charging cable out of your dog’s reach, and let sitters know where cameras are used.

What we like, what to know, and who it may suit

Why we like it

A practical option for an awkward viewpoint, with the same camera usable inside or outside as your needs change.

The battery model needs recharging and provides 1080p HDR video. The newer wired indoor and outdoor models offer 2K video and continuous mains power.

Who it may suit

Pet owners who want remote check-ins indoors or outdoors, especially where a permanent power cable would be inconvenient.

AUBENORD VERDICT

Our choice to compare when the useful viewpoint is awkward to wire. Budget a little attention for recharging in return for flexible placement.
