Buy a plug.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice camera. If you have Nest aware, it will only save 24/7 if it is connected to power supply. Unless it is set up within a couple of feet of an outlet, you'll need to buy the 5 or 10 meter extension as the connector is proprietary.

Posted .Hi LTM1, we really appreciate your feedback on Nest Cam (battery) and Nest Aware. Our goal is to give users like you more choice. With event video history, we wanted our products to help our customers understand what’s going on at home easily and showcase the important activity for you. We still offer 24/7 video history on wired Nest Cams with a Nest Aware Plus subscription, for users who want to see everything that happens at home. And we continue to invest in the use of both technologies. Also, You can connect your camera to a power outlet with the included charging cable for continuous power and to keep the battery charged. Please note that the power adapter included with the Nest Cam (battery) is not weatherproof and not intended for outdoor use, and that’s when you can use a compatible weatherproof cable (sold separately).
For other concerns, issues, or anything you want to share, please don’t hesitate to contact us here and we’d be more than happy to help you: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Posted .Hi Rayados, thanks for leaving feedback to let us know of your concerns with the Nest Cam (battery). We understand that having to charge the battery oftentimes can be an inconvenience. You can extend the battery life of your camera by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas. That way, you don’t have to charge it more often than you should. You may also consider connecting your camera to a power outlet with the included or optional power adapter for continuous power and to keep the battery charged. Please note that the power adapter included with the Nest Cam (battery) is not weatherproof and not intended for outdoor use, and that’s when you can use a compatible weatherproof cable (sold separately).

Good Camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Quality camera. The battery last quite long and you can purchase a plug or solar power panel to keep it charged. I don’t care for the Home app. I prefer the older Nest platform.

Posted .Hello there, EricN. We appreciate that you like the Nest Cam (battery). We’re aware that longtime Nest users enjoy viewing their Nest camera feeds from the Nest app. However, our long term plan is to use the Google Home app as the one place you can control all of your favorite Nest and other smart home devices, as well as Google Assistant. Our team is working on bringing full functionality to the Google Home app so all of your cameras can be set up and controlled in one place.
We care about your experience. If there’s anything we can be of help, please let us know here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Nest cam outdoor battery
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A good product, but I wish Google had not purchased Nest. Setup was very easy and straightforward but the new devices can only be viewed in the Google home app and not in the nest app which is a disappointment. Quality is as expected though.

high quality cams

Terrible to reconnect to new network.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have both blink and google cams in my house. One of my cameras loses connection pretty frequently, I'd say that blink is more reliable in that area. This would be a great camera if they were a little easier to update wifi. I like to change my wifi password every once in a while. Today, I bought a new mesh network, and I had to grab ladders and pull each device down, factory reset, then reconnect them. It's such a time suck, I'm not entirely sure why it can't be done without that. With blink, you just update the base and all devices connected to it work. I like the rest of the features, and it works most of the time.

I would recommend this to a friend Camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The product itself is excellent. However, it was not clear that it was not sole what we neede and is indoor/outdoor. Even the tech guy misguided us. IMO it’s the manufacturers packaging description that was not clear for non-tech people.
I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Motion detection
Easy install
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I installed these and have been using for about a month. I havent had to charge them yet so batteries last a good amount of time of normal use. Mount low and dont expect for it to start recording or detect motion if its further then 50 feet away
