Oh Google. I really like these cameras. Better than other brands which I won't mention. As with everything, some little things could be improved and they would be outstanding. Setup is so easy. Battery life has been really good, even in the cold. I have one hooked to an outlet and one running on battery only.

The cameras are easy to use once you complete the setup. The setup has a lot of instructions and video directions are available. The images on my iPhone are very clear and easy to see.

I love the ease and use on the google nest cameras. Great function and clear picture. Very easy to customize to what you want. Great video both day and night. I won’t use anything else!!

For a rechargeable camera the battery life is fantastic even in the winter you can expect around 4-5 weeks of life even with temperatures down in the tens. Picture quality is great and I like that I can set zones to only capture certain areas.

Picture is nice and the app is okay. Cant hear audio during playback in the app and audio doesnt reach as far as other cameras out there (when i can actually hear it). For the amount I paid for these i would expect better.
Hello there, NickP. Thanks for sharing your feedback about the Nest Cam (battery). We’re glad that you like its image quality and the app, but we’re sorry to learn that your expectations with the audio quality are not met.
It may be helpful to check that your phone’s media playback volume is turned up, and make sure your camera's audio settings are correct. In the Home app, touch and hold your device's tile Settings > Audio, and use the slider to adjust the volume. You can also turn the microphone on or off, and switch audio recording.
Hi GSGS, thanks for posting your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the battery issues you have with Nest Cam (battery).
For the battery life, it will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. You can extend the battery life of your 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: - 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)
If you’re willing to try, 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 Nest Cam (Battery) and understand what may be causing it. We’re hoping that you’ll give us another chance to improve your experience. You may contact our support team for further assistance here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

It’s everything I was looking for!
It was easy to install and the clarity is great! It works well through the app even while traveling abroad.
I would highly recommend it!

Great camera. Notification are crazy fast. Yeah you don’t get 24/7 on battery and no charger to not 4K. This is a battery camera. It would not sel well if the battery lasts a day because it records 24/7. It always records events. If you don’t get a notification of close events.. it still records them. Facial recognition is leaps ahead of the last gen.. which I liked a lot. I have a metal fence and I tested out live view. I walked where me head poked out and i got a notification within 1 second that a person was detected (not exagerated. Only disappointment is the sole panel isn’t released yet. Highly highly recommend. If you want a cheap unreliable.. because I have all these get blink or ring.. I’m phasing out my blink and ring. This camera is great.. can’t wait for the nest spotlight to replace my ring spotlight..
Side not- the low rating of this is due to people not comprehending what a battery camera.. when using battery is….

We originally wanted 2 cameras but since there was a sale for 3 we spent a little extra. 2 are mounted outdoors and we kept the other 1 indoor to monitor the dog when we leave her alone. If she starts to bark or howl due to loneliness, we can talk to her on our phone app which gives her reassurance. The cameras are very clear on our phone app and we can also hear very well. It's a great product that took little installation.

Good but not great. I love the Google products but I have the previous generation outdoor Nest cameras and they perform better than these. Perhaps I just need to keep them plugged in instead of the wireless option. The Nest App is better instead of the new Google Home app, which doesn’t give you a preview of the video, you have to open the app and view the clips.
Hi NJDad, we greatly appreciate your feedback on Nest Cam (Battery), and we’re sorry to hear that it doesn’t give you a preview of the video and that you have to open the app to view the clips. Your feedback helps us better understand our customers’ preferences and needs, and we’ll share this information with the product team to work improving the functionality and features of the Google Home app. In the meantime, we suggest having the latest version of the Google Home app that may improve camera playback controls to make it easier to play, pause, and navigate between events from the camera history view in the Google Home app.
We're always here to help. If you come across any concerns about your Nest Cam (Battery) and with using it effectively in the Google Home app, please feel free to find us anytime here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

The image is clear and it is easy to install. The magnet is very strong. It not only allows the camera to attach to the base, it can be used to attach the base to metal (e.g. metal door frame, ceiling grid, filing cabinet, etc.) so there is no need to use the screws.
