A good deal on what is a pretty spendy camera. So far works like new. The q code was gone, and reading the activation code is a real eye test. Other than that, somple to set up and use.

Works as intended out of the box. Just wish the battery life was a little longer, but will be able to add a solar panel or power cable later.

Hi rmbell3, thanks for choosing Nest Cam (Battery). The battery life of Nest Cam (Battery) will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. Users can extend the battery life of their camera by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas. Here are some typical scenarios for your Nest Cam (Battery): Busy: About 1.5 months battery life (about 20 - 25 recorded events per day) Typical: About 3 months battery life (about 9 - 12 recorded events per day) Quiet: About 7 months battery life (about 2 - 4 recorded events per day)
We recommend checking the frequency of events (per day) that you get with your Nest Cam (Battery). If the short battery life isn´t related to the frequency of events, then we may need to have a closer look at your device and understand what may be causing it. We'll also take your suggested feature into consideration since we are always on the lookout for ways we can improve our products and the features we offer. We hope you will keep a close watch on our blog site on future announcements: https://blog.google/

The original cameras are second to none. The Nest Aware app is fantastic. Unfortunately this new camera uses the Google Home app. That app is barebones and just......well.....sad.
The camera would rate higher if it weren't for the god awful app. For that reason, I would recommend steering clear of this version and tracking down some of the original Nest IQ cameras. Those are superior and make use of the Nest Aware app.

Hi Sam7, thanks for sharing your feedback about Nest Cam (battery). We apologize if you’re unable to add the device in the Nest App.
The new Nest Cam (indoor, wired) is exclusive to the Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience. Our long term plan is to use the Google Home app as the one place you can control all of your favorite Nest and other smart home devices, as well as Google Assistant. In the near future, we’ll allow users to set up previous Nest devices and have full control in the Home app. Users with older cameras can view their camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new Nest Cams. Our team is working on bringing full functionality to the Google Home app so all of your cameras can be set up and controlled in one place.
Your feedback is important to us as it will greatly help us in improving our products and services. If you need help with your Nest Cam (battery), you may reach out to our support team. We’d be more than happy to assist you here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Do NOT ever buy refurbished. These cameras will NOT charge so they are now useless after ONE MONTH.

Hello there, Crab. We appreciate your feedback about the Nest Cam (battery). We’re sorry to hear that your experience with its battery life is less than ideal.
Your camera could be detecting a lot of activities, as the battery life depends on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. You can extend the battery life by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas. This link can help: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10901611
Also, connecting your camera to a power outlet with the included power adapter for continuous power will keep the battery charged. Please note that the optional power adapter is not weatherproof and not intended for outdoor use, and you can use a compatible weatherproof cable (sold separately). Contact your retailer for inquiries.

Needed an additional camera (cant be too safe) and this one fits the bill! The area i have it placed wont require me to charge all the tims but after setting it up the camera reported it had 9 weeks of battery.. which again is great for my usage, and setting up the zones its been working flawlessly.
