If you were hoping to pick up one of the new Nest Doorbells and wire it in for continuous recording, Google tells us that won't be an option. Even though the new battery-powered Nest Doorbell can be plugged in permanently, so you don't have to recharge it, it still won't support continuous 24/7 video recording, even though the new battery-powered Nest Cam will.

The product listing for the new Nest Doorbell (battery) makes this requirement clear:

"Whether you choose battery or wired installation, the Nest Doorbell (battery) cannot continuously record 24/7 video history.
