Downgrade from Previous Nest Cams
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's baffling that Google would choke their new cameras with less features than previous generation, and entirely due to software. These latest cams are NOT Nest Aware compatible so you only get a limited 3 hour history window before they delete recorded events. And no option to subscribe to a service that would allow longer storage (like Nest Aware). It neuters the entire purpose of security cameras. Why on earth would Google do this? They're missing out on revenue and already have the tech in place. As of this review date (summer 2024) the Google Home app is also pretty clunky and hard to set schedules and customize. The cameras are fine, but until they fix the software/app I would strongly recommend avoiding.

I PERSONALLY LIKE THIS BETTER THAN THE RING CAMERAS. THE MOBILE APP MAKES IT SO EASY TO USE AND IT WILL RECORD FOR FREE FOR 2 MONTHS, SAVES CLIPS

I would recommend this to a friendTwo thumbs up
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These cameras are awesome. However if you put them in a high traffic area the battery life decreases substantially.

||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Reliable, great quality video and audio, and provides great piece of mind. The only drawback is there's no native HomeKit support but we're looking into the Starling device to bridge that gap.

Posted .Hi Voltaic, it's great to hear that you liked the great video and audio quality of Nest Cam (Battery). We´re sorry to hear about your disappointment with the limitations for supporting Apple's HomeKit.
We also appreciate that you´re looking for options to help bridge both platforms. However, sharing your account email and password with unauthorized websites or apps can compromise the security of your home and personal information and no Hey Google partner will ever need your Google password. We recommend checking further on any potential risks and issues that you may encounter in the future.

Great...with small caveat
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy setup and work very well. Tried using it with the Wasserstein solar panel (high output version) and that worked well in a very high traffic commercial parking lot. After about a 1.5 weeks I got a notification that my battery had dropped to about 70%. Pretty good as the panel was in a shaded area with no direct sunlight. Ultimately I choose to get the power cable so I could have continuous recording as that is the only way to have all video instead of just clips of activity.
I would recommend this to a friendDoes its job
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cameras are ok. The video quality could be better especially the night vision. Wish the angle was wider like the competitors. Overall it does its job.

Posted .Hey there, JacJac! We appreciate your feedback and we’re glad that you like the Nest Cam (battery). We hear your concerns about having a wider field of view along with its night vision feature, and we’d be happy to share this with the right team for future improvements. Meanwhile, there are different factors that can affect the Night Vision. Try to angle your camera away from bright lights, or to install the camera in a shady spot. You should also make sure that any nearby surfaces or objects (like a wall) are out of view, since the camera’s infrared light can reflect off a surface. You can also try the simple steps outlined at the following link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9259738

Easy to setup and use
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Setup was easy, picture quality is excellent. Battery life is about a month on a full charge, in the app it will tell you when to charge the camera. Audio is good.

I would recommend this to a friendAwesome!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been using nest and other cameras for a very long time and I can tell you whomever says that these cameras are no good have no idea what they're talking about and are clueless these by far are the best I have used the clarity is out of this world the size of the cameras and the size of the magnets are outstanding! Even though the cameras are large they blend in very well, the speakers are also out of this world the clarity of the sound I can now talk to my dogs and they do listen through the cameras. Yes there's a new system to be used apart from the old nest cam but what do you expect it's a new company we get used to something it's hard to let go I understand but these cameras have outstanding clarity.
I would recommend this to a friendEasy installation
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cameras are excellent. But not much value in the "bundle", you would pay 1 penny less if you purchased 2 separately.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat Battery Powered Cameras
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The battery on these cameras last a long time and the video quality is great. The major downside is that they don’t work on the nest app, so you have to check history on Google Home instead.

Posted .Hi Drew, thanks for your time sharing your feedback with us. We're glad to know that you find the Nest Cam (battery) great.
We’re aware that longtime Nest users enjoy viewing their Nest camera feeds from the Nest app, however, our priority with our new Nest cameras was building a complete experience in the Google Home app. Our teams are working on enabling the ability to set up and control older Nest cameras in the Home app so users will have one app to control all of their devices, and we’re working on bringing full functionality to the Google Home app as we want to create an integrated experience with other Nest and smart home devices.
We request for your patience as we’re working on a seamless solution. If you need help with any concerns about the Nest camera, feel free to let us know here and we’ll gladly help you the best we can: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Posted .Hello there! Thank you for sharing your experience using the Nest Cam battery. We're thrilled to hear that you find the camera quality impressive. We understand your concerns regarding the range and the challenge in capturing clear images of movement in your front yard due to the camera's placement on the eaves of your two-story house. Achieving optimal coverage can sometimes be difficult, especially with wireless cameras. Placing the camera higher up might affect its ability to capture detailed movements closer to the ground, like in the front yard. If you have questions and other concerns, we recommend reaching out to our dedicated team of specialists on the Google Help Center here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
