Ring Video Doorbell: Why is my hardwired battery not trickle charging

Sat, 24 Jan 2026 13:23:05 -0700

I've had my hardwired ring doorbell almost a year a the battery has always been at 100%

Lately its been slowly dropping and not recharging. I've read on other forums that this was the cause of a firmware upgrade and ring knows nothing about it. Their tech support is really terrible. Anyone experiencing this?

Nest Cam Outdoor: What is the function of all these wires

Sat, 17 Jan 2026 23:44:08 -0700

My Google camera GJQ9T has a wire that runs between the camera and the power supply that plugs into the 120 outlet. I needed to cut the cable, now I have to repair the cut wire. From what I read the camera needs 5 volts, therefore I should need only 2 wires. Inside the cable I find 2 red wires, 1 white wire, 1 green wire, 1 wire for the shield. What is the function of all these wires, which ones should I use

Thank you

Steve

Nest cam outdoor: Hardwiring the Nest Cam Outdoor

Sat, 17 Jan 2026 12:06:36 -0700

My house is new construction and has a low voltage hardwire in place for a security camera. I want to wire the Nest Cam Outdoor to this hardwire. Any thoughts on how it should be spliced and attached. Could I just cut the USB cable and attach the power wires directly to the house hardwiring?
