Always learning something new (for me). Wonder what else Amazon has hidden ?

FFS - post details of the camera and the actual problem.

Nest doorbells battery version wont charge at -5c and below, even when they are wired. As a temp fix in the winter i want to use a small heat source so the battery will charge. I will test with a lightbulb from the old doorbell to see if it has enough heat, looking for something a little warmer. The battery is located on the back metal plate so a bulb against the back may actually work. Here is a teardown of the unit

I have a wired version no issue however I am looking to switch over to their new platform and features of version 2 hello with battery until the no battery version 2 is out.

** Now you tell us?

The "Nest" doorbell/ camera is NOT intended for outdoor use.

1. It ain't one bit water or moisture proof.
2. It will not *work* at -10C or so.
3. The Li-Po battery will not charge at -5C or below.

It will need a *heated* water proof enclosure to use outdoors.

It is IP54 rating it is made for outdoors. They work fine when they are protected under a standard overhang. I have a wired nest at one of my homes and its been great for 4 years, this is just a new version with battery option but it can be wired which fails charging at low temp- bad design should not matter..

It's a doorbell, doorbells are intended for outdoor use.

It will work at -20 problem is the battery wont charge at that temp is the issue , . No need to "chime" in on this one if you think it is not intended for outdoor use. as you do not know the product.

Please ignore the Drongo from Down-Under. It lives in wretched little world entirely of its own making, and is to be pitied.

Amazon is one of the great aggregators in the retail industry. My personal favorite:
