I have a nest duo. The solar panel does not keep up during nesting, I take an external USB battery back out and connect to the camera. The battery drains in 1 day during nesting. The nest duo has the advantage of having an extra long cable and controller that I can plug the charger into (even while the solar panel is connected to the camera), and I don't have to access the camera itself. Unfortunately, the birdfy website says you can't use this external controller with the Nest Ebony. I wonder if you could add a USB splitter to the back of the camera and be able to plug a battery pack in at times with accessing the camera itself. I have no idea if this would work or be bad, but the camera loosing charge so fast makes the birdfy next boxes difficult to recommend.
