    Easy to install. Battery holds up well. Needs a $6 per month plan to utilise the full power of features available. But the free plan is good enough for basic monitoring. Paid plan is recommended though, since video footage retention on the free plan isn't long enough to make it useful

    Easy to set up out of the box. Item worked seamlessly with Google Nest Router. We were able to add to our network, set up the room, save and auto settings, face recognition, presence sensing, etc. after a brief fifteen to thirty minute charge and mounting plate set up and we’re up and running quickly. Very happy with the outcome and performance two weeks later!

    I'm not a fan of these new cameras which you cannot view through the Nest app. The Nest app has always been solid for me. The Google Home app, on the other hand is a nightmare. For one thing, if you have multiple cameras, only the 3 and a half will load up the feed instantly. Any cameras after that, when you scroll the screen down to view them, will sit there with a "connecting" message and a little loading animation, but they will never actually connect. You have to scroll your screen back up to the top and then back down to them and then finally their feed will show up. Or you might go through those motions and then one of the first cameras will go blank or say disconnected. Beyond frustrating. The other problem is, you will get an alert that it has detected whatever type of motion you've set it to alert you of, and you will click on the alert which will take you to either the event, or the live feed. Usually the live feed for me. But when you try to look back at the event, what it has considered to be the clip for the event stops before the event has ended. And it will not automatically allow you to just continue watching the footage that occurred immediately after what it considers to be the event clip. It is super clumsy. Whereas in the Nest app, you can watch your footage seamlessly.

      Hi clookie, thanks for posting your feedback. We regret to hear that Nest Cam (Battery) didn’t meet your expectations, and have multiple issues with it.

      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. In the near future, we’ll allow users to set up previous Nest devices and have full control in the Home app. Users with older cameras can view their camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new Nest Cams. 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.

      For connectivity issues, it’s important to make sure that this is not caused by a spotty or weak Wi-Fi signal. We suggest checking your Wi-Fi network for a strong and reliable connection. If you have too many devices connected on the same bandwidth or if your network package is not enough to handle the data traffic on the network, removing other connected devices to your Wi-Fi may relieve network congestion. You can also try doing a factory reset to improve its performance.

      We value your feedback, and we’d like to help you the best way possible. If you need assistance, our support team is always available. Please feel free to contact us anytime through this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

      Good day, DGK50! We’re glad that your Nest Cam (battery) works well! We hear your concern about viewing your camera video using the Home app. We suggest having the latest version of Google Home app that can improve camera playback controls to make it easier to play, pause, and navigate between events from the camera history view. Also, checking for device updates can provide the latest features and keep the devices secure, and are applied across the operating system, browser, and hardware. These updates depend on many device specific non-Google hardware and software providers that work with Google to have the highest level of security and stability support.

      If you need immediate assistance, feel free to contact us through our support channels found here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
