Wish there was a way to better secure them to building. Magnet is very strong but plastic bracket is just that plastic. If outside, can be easily stolen.

Posted .Hello there, Happydude. We're glad that the installation of the Nest Cam (battery) went easy for you, and that you like its video quality. We hear your concern about having a better way to secure the device, and we’ve taken note of your feedback for future improvements. Meanwhile, we suggest using the included secure loop if you’re placing your Nest Cam higher than 6.5 ft (2m). The loop is a cable that connects your camera to the magnetic mount and will help prevent your camera from falling if it gets knocked off the mount.
We trust that you’re getting the most benefits out of your experience. And if you have questions about the features of the camera, let us know by visiting us anytime here so we can help: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Long bat
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have been surprised at how long the battery last. I do wish you didn’t have to subscribe to keep video recording, but I guess most big companies are sticking it to it that way these days.

Decent for a rental property
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m not as impressed with this camera system. I do like the face reginition feature, but when you’re using a wireless setup I feel there is really nothing stopping someone from stealing the camera. Not sure what they’d do with it if stolen, but would be nice to have some kind of safety mechanism to prevent it from being removed. Batter life is pretty good and doesn’t require me to recharge the battery every week. It says it lasts over 6months on a charge. So far, I’ve charged it once completely and it’s at 90% on one camera and 40% on the other. The reality is the battery life depends on how often a camera is triggered. I have the Ring at my main property and Google at the rental. I like Ring’s interface over Google.

Posted .Hi Nick, thanks for sharing your insights with us. We're sorry to hear that the camera for Nest Cam (Battery) didn't impress you. We understand your concern with the security for your Nest Cam (Battery). For this reason, we have a security cable or Anti-Theft Mount available for Nest Cam (Battery). We recommend contacting BestBuy for more information on availability of this accessory.
Battery life for 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.

Great product for Google Home
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second camera that was recently added to my collection and its been great to us. I have it linked with Google Home and utilized the outdoor weather cable. I did notice an extra item the previous model did not have. The cable lock was a great addition and will be used well. Setup and placement of this product was very easy with minimal issues connecting to my network. I currently use Nest aware and like the options offered to me. I do wish we have an upgrade to 4k in the near future.

Fantastic video quality!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This cameras have some of the best video footage I've ever seen. We have a very active household and the cameras are set up for motion detection. Even still, the battery lasts around 15 to 20 days even though they are constantly turning on with all the commotion in our home. They take about 5 hours to charge so it's pretty easy to charge both cameras. The magnet on these cameras is extremely strong. They aren't going to move, slip, slide, or anything. These cameras are top quality.

Solid wireless outdoor camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the second Google Nest outdoor wireless camera we set up along with a Nest doorbell. Cameras can be customized to alert you and the Google subscription service allows you see 30 days of video history. Cameras have high resolution, wide angle viewing and the night vision is great.
