Great value for these cams
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cameras are great, quality in sound and video are good as well. It took me awhile to figure out to reset them to a different router, luckily YouTube helps. I have one on a google cam stand the other mounted on the magnet mount. Feel very secured on the magnet mount.

Easy Configuration
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The google Nest cameras are easy to configure and install into a Google Home for monitoring. The iCloud storage is a reasonable price and by whole home, not camera #’s. Had a number of Nest cameras for years and adding.

||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall good cameras. Over time the charging cable has issues connecting well to the small contacts so you have to clean them each time you pull the camera down.

Posted .Hey there, JFred. We’re glad you’re enjoying the Nest Cam (Battery). That being said, we hear your concern with having to clean the connector. Over time, your outdoor camera may collect dust, pollen, water spots, and other debris. Here’s how to clean it properly:
1. Unplug your camera from the power outlet.
2. Moisten a soft cloth with water and a little dish soap.
3. Hold your camera steady and gently wipe its surface clean with a cloth. Keep soap off the lens.
4. Rinse the cloth and wipe down the surfaces again to remove any remaining soap.
5. Plug your camera back in.

||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good cameras, do experience some latency from time to time which can be frustrating, I do not think it is my WIFI network, rather then ongoing integration of Nest and Google h/w and s/w. I would recommend to those who have done their research into their needs and can verify these meet them.

Nest camera is fine
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are great. I don’t love that they only come with a short cable for power as charging can be annoying but tolerable . I preferred the last version of the outdoor camera. Don’t like the need to move to google home with this version

Cameras
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The cameras were easy to install I had to upgrade my wifi but has been worth it
I would recommend this to a friend Good enough, but google sure is messed up
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Product is decent, does its job. However now that google has fragmented the nest ecosystem, those of us that have "older" nest products now have to live with two different platforms. If I want to see these cameras, i have to go to the home app. Other cameras, to the nest app. History in one, not the other. Alerts from nest app and sometimes the home app overlap. Its silly.

Posted .Hi Cywolf1, we're sorry to hear that you are not pleased with the move we made to the Google Home app for the new generation of Nest cameras, including Nest Cam (Battery).
Our goal for the launching of the new generation of Nest cameras is to make the Google Home app the one place where you can control all your favorite Nest devices and other smart home devices with the Google Assistant. Here are some benefits you can get by using the Google Home app with your Nest Cam (Battery):
- Automatic security protections such as Suspicious activity detection, 2-Step Verification and Security Checkup.
- Your Google Nest devices and services will work together. For example, if you have a Nest camera and a Nest Hub, just say, ""Hey Google, show me the backyard camera” to cast your camera stream to your display without any additional setup.
- One account to sign into both the Nest and Google Home apps.
- Your homes and home members will be aligned across the Nest and Google Home apps.
You may transfer your old Nest cameras to the Google Home app together with your Nest Cam (Battery). Here's how: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9893532

Google Nest Battery
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have google everything so this was a no brainer. Was a bit upset that the Nest app didn't control these, I've gotten used to using the home app now for everything. My front yard camera gets a lot of action and I have to charge it weekly. They remove rather easy and charge in 2-3 hours.

Posted .Hi FloridaManGC, thanks for sending in your review on your Nest Cam (battery). We're sorry to hear that you're experiencing some battery issues with your device. To extend the battery life of your camera we'd recommend adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas. Our priority with this launch was to create an integrated experience with other Google Nest products and to make the Google Home app as the one place you can control all your Nest and other smart home devices with the Google Assistant.

GREAT & SIMPLE SET-UP
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Google nest camera worked perfect. It paired up perfectly with my ring doorbell camera so I only have 1 APP that I use to view my camera activity. The installation was easy and quick by the GEEK SQUAD installers.
