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.

Thank you Google
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm giving these a 5-star rating because they can actually be used as a security device. Every other doorbell cam and WiFi camera cannot. If your WiFi goes down because of someone with a jammer, these keep recording up to 3 hours of footage and upload it when they are back online. They also have WPA3 security to require PMF so they can't be deauthed. No other camera besides a hard-wired camera (like PoE) can be used as a security device except these. Thank you Google for trying. Yes the app needs work and they lack features but at least you can rely on them. I tested it out just to be sure. Shut down the WiFi router, moved around in front of these (one plugged in, other on battery), went back and turned the router on and there it was- the footage taken without WiFi sitting right there in the Google Home app like it never missed a beat for both cameras.

Posted .Hi Cook, it’s great to have your feedback on Nest Cam (battery), and we’re glad that you find it a good product, and easy to set up. We hear your concerns about its battery life, and we’re here to help.
The battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. You can extend the battery life by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas. This link might be helpful: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10901611
Also, connecting your camera to a power outlet with the included or optional power adapter for continuous power will keep the battery charged. Please note that the power adapter included is not weatherproof and not intended for outdoor use, and you can use a compatible weatherproof cable (sold separately).
If you need assistance, please contact us anytime at: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

In compatible with Nest Cameras that I have
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can’t get the camera to pick up the last 4 digits to connect camera and it doesn’t let me manually plug in. I guess it is not compatible with my current Nest System. Very frustrating. I am going to return. I gave it an average because I am sure it works great if I could get it going, I am returning the camera.

Misleading to call this a "Nest" camera
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is misleading for Google to call this new Google Nest Camera Battery a "Nest" camera. It does not work with the Nest app along with all of our other Nest cameras. It cannot be accessed online from a computer along with our other Nest cameras on the Home Nest website. Further, unlike our other Nest cameras, we cannot manually edit clips from video history and cannot even gather a video clip from the Home Nest website from a computer. Google says it's "committed to providing a seamless Home app experience for our [Nest camera] customers." Then why can't we configure our existing Google Nest cameras and doorbells and view their history from the Google Home app? Why can't we access the new Nest camera online from our computer? Why do we have to use two different apps to get notifications from our Google Nest cameras? Why does the new Nest camera not have the Enhance feature present on our existing Nest cameras to set zoom when recording history? Why can we only get email notifications from our existing Nest cameras and not this new Nest camera? This is NOT "seamless." Releasing this camera without having this in place and instead promising to improve it sometime in the future is like selling a new car and saying "sorry, unlike your current car, reverse gear doesn't work right now, and the windows and air conditioning also don't work right now; we're working on adding those features in the future. And by the way, the old model is no longer available." As a long-time Google Nest customer, I am profoundly unhappy with our new Google Nest camera, which we purchased because the previous Google Nest outdoor camera is no longer available. This new camera is really a "beta" release and Google should be compensating customers for testing its as-yet-unfinished product.

Posted .Hi MplsCustomer, we highly appreciate you for letting us know of your experience with using the Nest Cam (Battery) and the Google Home app and we’re sorry that it was an unhappy experience for you.
While the new Nest cameras and doorbells are exclusive to the Google Home app, users with previous versions of Nest cameras can view their camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new Nest Doorbell and Nest Cams. We understand that long time Nest users enjoy viewing their Nest camera feeds from the Nest app and web app, however, our priority with this launch was to create an integrated experience with other Google Nest speakers and displays, and to make the Google Home app as the one place you can control all your favorite Nest and other smart home devices with the Google Assistant.
Also, you can customize or change a variety of settings for your Google Nest cameras such as video quality, notifications, battery usage, the name of your device, and more:
- Open the Home app.
- On the home screen, tap your camera or doorbell.
- Tap Settings . From there, you’ll be able to change its settings.

If you need further assistance with the features and performance of your Nest Cam (Battery) and the Google Home app, you’re more than welcome to visit us anytime here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Battery life is poor
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am pleased with this product however, after one month’s use the battery already requires recharging. It is setup with the basic defaults and a maximum of 30 sec recordings. I get about 15 events a day so did not expect that to drain the battery so quickly.

They get the job done
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sure the picture could be a little clearer. Sure the plug should plug in the correct direction, but the cameras do what I need them to do. I can see people at my backdoor, front door, driveway and side of house. They are super easy to mount. I even installed outlets by all the cameras (yes, I am handy), but wished they made a waterproof cable that was only 6 feet long. Overall these are good, not excellent, but good.

Outdoor Security Camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We wanted an outdoor security camera that would provide us with a wide view of the entrance to our house. This camera does a great job, unless it is VERY cold, which is a known issue.
