GNPC-1
The Versa Wireless GNPC-1 is a Google Nest Cam power adapter built for security pros: a transformer-only 7.5V DC, 1.5A Class 2 power unit for wired Google Nest Cam installs. It plugs into a standard AC outlet, takes a universal 100-240V input, and is ETL Listed by Intertek. Versa sells it through security distribution and direct from this page.
Transformer-only is the point. The GNPC-1 has no captive cord. It terminates in two screw terminals marked + and - on the bottom edge, and the Google-supplied camera cable lands there. Google provides that cable to security professionals with the camera hardware. A kit that bundles a second one is wire you carry and throw back in the truck. One power SKU covers the wired Nest Cam jobs instead.
The other number that earns its place is the run budget. The GNPC-1 carries a published rating of up to 75 ft (22.9 m) on 18 AWG or heavier conductor. That is roughly three times the reach of a typical aftermarket adapter. Because the figure is published, you plan the outlet-to-camera route on paper before the ladder comes off the truck. A basement outlet to a second-story soffit is inside the budget. The adapter itself stays indoors at the outlet, so the camera end needs no outdoor receptacle and no in-use cover.
The housing is a slim 1.71 x 1.15 x 3.75 in. two-prong unit with a mounting tab molded into the top. A screw through that tab anchors the adapter flat to the wall plate, so camera power cannot be defeated by pulling a brick out of a socket. Short-circuit protection shuts the output down on a fault and recovers on its own once the fault clears, and NTC thermal protection covers inrush and overheat. Full figures are in the Specifications tab and in the GNPC-1 datasheet.

Safety: risk of electric shock. Dry locations use only, indoor use only, as marked on the label. Use Class 2 rated conductor, 18 AWG or heavier, and keep the total run within the 75 ft rating. Match polarity at the + and - terminals and tighten the conductors fully under the screw heads. Mount the adapter and dress the run per Google's install guide for your camera model.
The GNPC-1 is a 7.5V DC, 1.5A Class 2 power adapter for wired Google Nest Cam installs. Google's Safety and Regulatory Guide approves two adapter ratings for the Nest Cam Outdoor (wired, 2nd gen). They are model GPJ15 at 7.5V DC / 1.5A and model G7LYP at 12V DC / 0.75A. The GNPC-1 matches the GPJ15 rating. It also carries the Class 2 safety listing Google's documentation calls for.
GNPC-1 questions installers ask
Does the GNPC-1 come with a camera cable?
No cable is bundled, and that is deliberate. Google supplies the matching camera cable to security professionals with the camera hardware. A kit with a second one is a part you pay for twice.
The GNPC-1 is the transformer alone. It ends in two screw terminals marked + and -, and the Google-supplied cable lands on them. If you are matching a Nest camera power adapter by rating rather than by model name, 7.5V DC at 1.5A is the figure.
What wire does the GNPC-1 take, and how long can the Nest Cam power cord run?
Use 18 AWG or heavier Class 2 conductor. The GNPC-1 carries a published rating of up to 75 ft (22.9 m) at that gauge, which is around three times the reach of a typical aftermarket adapter.
Treat 75 ft as the ceiling of the run budget rather than a target. Heavier wire buys you margin; thinner wire spends it faster than the length alone suggests.
How do I power a Nest Cam that is mounted outdoors?
Keep the adapter indoors at the outlet and run the cable out to the camera. Google's install guide describes two routes: out to an outdoor outlet, or in through a vent or a drilled hole to an indoor one.
The indoor route wins on pro jobs. The GNPC-1 is an indoor Class 2 unit, so it sits at an interior receptacle and the camera end needs no outdoor outlet and no in-use cover. The 75 ft budget is what makes that reach practical.
How do I install the GNPC-1?
Step 1. Pick an interior outlet and confirm the route to the camera is 75 ft or less on 18 AWG or heavier.
Step 2. Land the conductors under the two screw heads on the bottom of the adapter, matching the + and - markings, and tighten.
Step 3. Run and dress the cable to the camera, then connect the camera end per Google's guide for that model.
Step 4. Drive a screw through the mounting tab into the wall plate, plug the adapter in, and confirm the camera comes up.
What are the GNPC-1 power specifications?
The GNPC-1 is a Class 2 Power Unit with a universal 100-240V AC input at 50/60 Hz, 0.5A, and a 7.5V DC, 1.5A output. It uses a two-prong NEMA 1-15P plug, measures 1.71 x 1.15 x 3.75 in., is Class II double insulated, and is an Efficiency Level VI external power supply.
Can the GNPC-1 be locked down so it does not get unplugged?
Yes. A mounting tab is molded into the top of the housing with a screw hole through it. Drive a screw through the tab into the wall plate and the adapter sits flat and stays put. Camera power then cannot be defeated by pulling a brick out of a socket. That is the detail commercial and multi-tenant sites ask for.
Is the GNPC-1 safety certified?
Yes. The GNPC-1 is ETL Listed by Intertek under control number 5030071 80CD. The label prints that it conforms to UL STD. 1310 and is certified to CSA STD. C22.2 No. 223.
That is the Class 2 safety class Google's own documentation calls for on a Nest Cam adapter. Short-circuit protection and NTC thermal protection are both built in.
