Can miss activity at night, and the battery life is a bit lower than I had anticipated. Otherwise, very pleased.
Hey there, FredR. Thanks for sharing your concerns about the Nest Cam (battery). We're sorry to hear that your experience with the device didn't meet your expectations. The battery life depends on factors including activity, temperature, and doorbell settings that you select. You can extend the battery life by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events to monitor specific areas. Check this link for more details: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10901611
Also, the Nest Cam (battery) is designed with versatility since it’s an outdoor/indoor battery powered device. It can be used with a set of various power accessories including two weatherproof cables with power adapter (sold separately), of 16 ft and 33 ft in length. If you find it more convenient connecting to continuous power that will keep the battery charged, which is required to get 24/7 video history if you have a Nest Aware Plus subscription, we suggest using the weatherproof cable since the included power adapter is not intended for outdoor use.

This was super easy to set up. I put it off thinking I would need to drill holes and mount it but I was wrong. The magnets are very strong and the battery lasts for a month or more depending on how often you use it. The magnet on the base holds very firmly to any metal and the camera attaches to the base with magnets as well and you can position it however you need it. It charges very quickly and lasts a long time.
Hi there, PremS. We recognize that migrating from the Nest app to the Google Home app involves a transition, and we are committed to making this learning process as easy as possible. The Google Home app provides a central location to manage and connect with a broad ecosystem of devices, including speakers, cameras, thermostats, lights, and many other products.

We have several of these cameras around the house. Slowly been replacing the old nest cameras. I just wish they had the same fuctions as the old nest cameras but the new features are good as well.

Good camera overall. I would expect better video quality in 2021 for this price. Battery life is too short as well. In the end I bought 3 and need them so worth it.

It a good camera. Not as good as the old nest cameras but still decent for most people. The only downside is you have to use the god awful atrocious Google Home app. Get a bridge to use the Home app.
Hi Asymptote, thanks for posting your feedback about the Nest Cam (battery) and the Google Home app, and we’re sorry to learn it has not met your expectations.
We’re aware that longtime Nest users enjoy viewing their Nest camera feeds from the Nest app. However, our priority with this launch was building a complete experience for our new cameras and doorbell in the Google Home app. While the new Nest cameras and doorbells are exclusive to the Google Home app, users with previous versions of Nest cameras can view their camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new Nest Doorbell and Nest Cams. Also, Google accounts come with the added benefits, such as one account to sign into both the Nest and Google Home apps, automatic security protections, your Google Nest devices and services working together, and more.
We're always here to help you improve your experience. Our dedicated support team can guide you with using your Nest camera effectively in the Google Home app, and you'll find us always available here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

I wanted to love these SO SO badly. We need more legit battery-operated cameras in the market. We are a Google Home home, and have lots of Google products that we love and use every day, but it's as if these were released incomplete. They are crazy heavy, the battery is terrible, and we had such poor interference with our ceiling-mounted LED lights, that the video would be nearly obscured with black stripes. We went through Google to get replacements, which we'll try out, but are not hopeful.

Easy to set up, mount, and get running but having to recharge every 10 days
Hi there, Todd. Thank you for sharing your feedback on the battery life of your Nest Cam (battery). The built-in rechargeable batteries are made for long-lasting battery life and should give you at least 1.5 months if the device is busy(about 20-25 recorded events per day). It's important to us that we provide you with the best help possible and identify the cause of the battery issues you’re having with your device.

I don’t understand all the poor reviews. I just moved into my new house and went from Ring to Nest. I bought these battery cameras because where i wanted my cameras there was no power source anywhere near it. They work great and ive had no issues at all. The battery life is not an issue unless your trying to record 24/7. If you do motion only and create a zone and pick people and vehicles it will last for a month or 2 before needing a charge.
