Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have been able to see more of what's been going on since purchasing these items. The video and audio quality is great and the settings and setup are very easy.

Let me share some background - I am a complete Google-verse person - Android device, Google Nest doorbell, thermostat and 5 cameras around the house,etc. I have been waiting for this camera to be available as I needed an Outside Camera to monitor my driveway. I knew well ahead of time that installing this camera would not tie into the Nest app (like the rest of my cameras) and I'd have to use it via Google Home app - but a black friday deal made me go for it - fully acknowledging I'd have two places to view my security cameras. I brought it home - had no issues - it installed easily and I was able to manipulate the camera without issue. Since its mounted outside, I had the 10m weatherproof power cable so I can keep it live 100% of the time. That was Saturday. Today is Monday, I live in the Chicago area....this camera is mounted outside. Woke up this morning - camera is disconnected. (WHAT?!) I went into the settings and the camera battery status is 0% with the message that the camera is disabled due to battery. Last night was a typical autumn night - low of about 25 degrees fahrenheit. I double checked the power outlet (working fine - other things are plugged into it, without issue). Now, I'm perplexed. Being a Googleverse person - I called Google support - was assisted by a very kind agent named Carol. Thru troubleshooting, we found that the battery has discharged due to the temperature being so low - 20 degrees. I pointed out the obvious - this is an outside camera, and 20 degrees is pretty mild compared to whats coming up in the next months here in Chicago. I suggested to her that this camera is faulty - and perhaps I need to have it replaced? She put me on hold - spoke to her supervisor - and gave me the resolution - I need to take the camera down, bring it inside, and recharge it. I was blown away! No way am I going to buy an outdoor camera and periodically (any time it gets cold) bring it inside to charge. Google provided no other recommendations. This camera is going back to the store and I am going to find an older Nest Outdoor camera to install. I have one other Nest Outdoor camera and its survived two harsh winters here - but to sell something as an outdoor camera and not have it be tolerant of cold weather is unacceptable to me. I hope Google gets their act in order - I understand the limitation of the app integration - but quality wise, this is sub-par at best.

Excellent Picture Quality. Easy to use. Read instructions before setup

A little expensive but easy setup, great quality. Ended up buying a second one when they went on sale.

These cameras started my nest obsession. Super easy to install the only issue I have is my wives phone does not show any video feed

Great camera. Beautiful video and pictures. Easy to use and very well made with o problems

Picked up 4 of these cameras. I used an already installed magnetic base so installation was simple. Connecting my ipad to the cameras was also simple. Battery life has been great. They’ve been operating for about a month and they all show as still full. So far just perfect. The picture is exceptionally clear when I check-in online from out of country. I’d say these cameras were a great choice thus far.

Probably one of the most reliable cameras I've purchased. This was an addition to an existing nest system, and it impressed as usual! Pairing with a solar panel is also the perfect combo!

Love how easy they are to are to connect to my google home app and being able to share with the family Great clear picture and sound quality compared to our ring cameras

Great picture easy to connect and makes me feel safer

Love my Google nest cameras, easy to use app, cameras are good quality and easy to view old footage no complaints

Super easy to install and just works. I placed this above the back door of my office to keep an eye on the alley behind. A clear picture and is just what I wanted.

The camera was discounted to $120 so I jumped on it. Had been wanting one for my back yard. The video is very sharp and the notifications are quick. View angle is more than adequate. I'm not disappointed. I already had the nest aware subscription with my doorbell so being able to check video history may some day come in handy.

Overall good. Resolution is good and integrates into the google ecosystem. Price is high compared to other systems and battery life isn't great.

great picture easy to install had to buy a longer charging wire to get all day recording

I am super disappointed in the battery life. I am pushing to get 4 weeks but most times it doesn’t last. Reviews say average battery last 6 weeks up to 3 months. In my opinion that is totally bogus unless you want a worthless camera that is in such low quality it couldn’t discern any valuable features if needed. I am shocked they no longer offer the outdoor wires option. Google obviously isn’t proud of their battery as you can barely find any discussion on their site.

Cameras were easy to setup and install. Still determining how long the batteries will last. The cameras seem to be very well made, are heavy and the magnet very strong.

I have 2 of the old gen but this one works just the same. Only issue is that you have to view it through google app and not the best app. So now I have 2 apps that send notifications and if when viewing I have ti do the same

Absolutely love the quality of the picture and look of this camera. Battery life is a bit short but you can modify the camera sensitivity to extend battery life.

Great picture Easy to install Great for security!!!
