Hello there, Jesse. We appreciate the review you shared about the Nest Cam (battery). We hear your concern about having a long plug in wire, and feedback like this helps us identify areas we can improve for users like you. Rest assured this will reach our products team. Meanwhile, if you prefer connecting your camera to a power outlet to keep the battery charged, you might want to check for the weatherproof cable (5 or 10 meters) as the included power adapter is not intended for outdoor use. You can contact your retailer for product inquiry.<br /><br />We trust that you’re getting the most benefits out of the camera features.
