    I bought this as an addition to the ones I already have installed. I’m impressed with the clarity and the distance it captures. I’ve been able to look at recordings and can see license plates and can see details of strangers passing along the perimeter of my home. For the price, totally worth it. I’ve bought and used ADT cameras that can’t compare to the quality I get from the Google cameras. I totally recommend it.

    Excellent camera. I’m using it with the Starling hub to integrate with Apple HomeKit. I don’t take off the plug so I have constant power. Will get Nest aware subscription to have 24/7 monitoring. Got it at a discount. Would recommend.

    Two years after purchase, one camera will no longer charge/work. Not sure what happened but it stopped working after having an extremely windy day. Thought the purchase was worth it until that happened. The other one I had inside so that still works but the outdoor one is what I really needed. I’m afraid to put this one outside now.

    For the Price of Two You Actually Get Less!

    2 pack includes a bit of extra mounting hardware no one really needs (short security cables that aren't really secure?) and gimps you out of a whole wall charger and charging cable — despite being a 2 pack it only comes with 1 charger and 1 cable for both cameras but costs exactly the same as two individual kits that would each include a wall charger and its cable. In short, don't get gimped. Only buy the single camera kits.

    The video quality is outstanding in all levels of light. Really love the ability to create an activity zone to greatly minimize false positive alerts and truly focus on the areas we're most wanting to monitor.

    While Google's issues with app compatibility are annoying, I still like this little camera. In the dead of winter, the battery lasted 4 months on a moderately busy street, an outcome which I was very happy with. Looking forward for the Google Home app update that makes it easier to scroll etc but so far no complaints. Worth it for the sale price I paid

    Very impressed with these cameras. They last a long time on battery power. My plan though is to have them plugged in in case I lose power then they're on battery power. Picture is great. You can zoom in to a certain extent

    Works as it should I have the power cord attached all the time so I have constant recording , cause if you don’t plug in the power cable you only get clips when something happens, time will tell how the camera holds up outside picture quality is ok, could be better , wish it would track movement and zoom in by its self
