Great cameras!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cameras have great video quality and easy to install/setup with your Google account. Access via phone anywhere anytime. You can extend the record hours with a subscription but you can do without it too. Charge last pretty long depending on weather conditions. Great purchase, might get one more!

As expected, but not amazed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m an existing Nest user with an Outdoor IQ camera and a Hello. The new camera works well with even better quality than the IQ, but honestly I expected slightly better video quality even when set in max than I get. Sometimes it seems a little pixelated. Google also has work to do on their app for the camera. It has some bugs with video playback and usability, but I’m hopeful that they’ll clean that up with time.

Camera

I would recommend this to a friend Wire free security cameras
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not going to lie, these have come in handy. We've been able to catch people in our community letting their dogs poop in our yard and notify them they were caught. Plus we feel a lot safer knowing we can see what's going on in and around our home.

Good camera, installation was very easy.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well contructed and easy to install and set up. I ended up purchasing the outdoor extension plug so I have it recording 24/7 but that made installation only slightly more difficult. If you were just running on battery then installation would be even easier.

Great pack of cams
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to use! The only thing I would change is an additional charging cable.

Posted .Hello there, Marmorse. We appreciate your feedback and we’re glad that you find the Nest Cam (battery) with ease of use. We hear your concern about having one charging cable only for the 2-pack cameras. The inclusion of a single cable is intentional, as the cameras shouldn't usually need to be charged at the same time due to differences in usage, such as event frequency or scene the camera is observing, sensitivity and event duration settings, and more.
We’ll share your feedback with the right team as we’re constantly looking to improve the reliability, usability, and use of various features. If help is needed, let us know by visiting us anytime here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Decent
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty good overall. Wished the battery lasted longer. Sometimes the app doesnt connect right away and it appears you have to pay a subscription for it to record history beyond a short time frame.

Ok but hardwiring would reduce trouble
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very nice clear picture. Battery life could be improved. Otherwise hardwiring would be less a hassel.

Posted .Hi there, thanks for your feedback. We´re sorry to hear about the poor battery life and hardwiring option for Nest Cam (Battery).
Nest camera battery life 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)
If the battery life of your Nest Cam (Battery) doesn´t meet the recommended battery life above, then it´s important to check the frequency of events (per day) that you get on 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.

Can’t really use the Nest App for the newer Cams
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m a little bit disappointed that I can no longer use my nest app to view the video feed on newer nest cams and forced to use google home app. I have a few older gen Nest cameras/doorbell camera so I have to use both google home app and nest app to view the video feeds. It’s very annoying to switch between apps instead of having it in one app and I don’t really like using the google home app to view the cameras.

Posted .Hi nate17, we really appreciate you for sharing your feedback with us about the Nest Cam (battery). We can imagine how having to use two different apps can be an inconvenience for you, and we’re aware that longtime Nest users enjoy having the option to view the Nest camera feeds from the Nest app. However, our priority is to create an integrated experience with other Nest and smart home devices. While the new Nest cameras and doorbells are exclusive to the Google Home app, users with previous versions of Nest cameras, like you, can view your camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new Nest Doorbell and Nest Cams.
We request for your patience as we’re working on a seamless solution to create a better user experience. Meanwhile, 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 for cameras set up in the Google Home app. And if you need help with any concerns about the performance and functionality of the camera, you're always welcome to let us know here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
