Fine Camera, lacking features
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The battery life is no where near advertised. I get about a week on a charge. They could last much longer if there was a way to trigger them on and off with Google Home Automations or even a simple turn on when away, but sadly no such setting. Can't even schedule them on or off at certain times of the day. People have been complaining about this since they came out, but Google has yet to remedy this.

We had a lot of work going on at our new house and the ability to communicate to the different people working through our camera was incredible!

Not compatible with the Nest App
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The original Nest app was so much better, smoother, quicker and more user friendly than the Google Home app which is a tragedy... I don’t know why google had to lower the quality by making these none-backward compatible with an awesome Nest app that they decided to decommission and use Google Home instead.

Posted .Hello there, AmineB. We appreciate that you find the Nest app great. We’re sorry to hear that using the Home app for your Nest Cam (Battery) is less than ideal for you.
We understand that longtime Nest users enjoy viewing their camera feeds from the Nest app. However, our goal is to build a complete experience for our new cameras and doorbell in the Google Home app. And 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 suggest having the latest version of the 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.
We’ll share your feedback with the right team for future improvements. If you need help with using the camera in the Home app effectively, visit us anytime using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

These are the best cameras!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm not sure why these cameras get such a bad review. After having Blink Cameras for almost a year they started to go out, have connection issues and everything. I can only compare the Nest cam against the Blink cameras, and the difference is night and day. I had a problem with people driving across my lawn, and Blink cameras couldn't activate fast enough to record it. I needed something that has continuous recording and Nest cam has done the job! 24 hours a day recording and smart motion alerts telling me if it's an animal, person or vehicle. That's pretty darn cool to me. Also, with Blink, only one person could view a camera at a time.... that's crazy. If you are viewing your backyard camera, your front yard camera won't work... they don't tell you that in the description. Not with Google. You can monitor all your cameras in real time at once from your phone, Nest Hub or computer! The cameras are a bit pricier, but... you get what you pay for. Most people don't want or need 24 hour recording... I love it!

For future buyers beware...Battery charging issues
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have 6 Google cameras so far and I think this last purchase (Google outdoor wireless/battery) will be the last. It's sad as I was hoping to buy 2 more outdoor but I'm now re-assessing other cameras. I hope Google and Bestbuy stops selling these as it is shortchanging their customers. Aside from removing most of the original Nest features like the ability to scrub videos, if you look at Google community you will see that there are lots of issues around the battery options. The wired are OK. I've never had problems with Google/Nest cameras (I think I have all of them except the floodlights). This one purchase for my 2nd time charging it (about 6 months out from purchase) took way past 12 hrs. I strongly believed I've got a defective one but Bestbuy wouldn't honor the warranty since I did not purchase the GeekSquad plan. So I guess there's no point anymore to buy directly from BestBuy then. If you must buy it, at least purchase directly from Google so you'll have the history and the possibility of getting support. I'm now stuck with this one odd camera that I would have to leave overnight for charging in the future which is not supposed to be.

Disappointed with constantly charging battery
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great camera. I bought them because I needed a camera that I didn’t need to have plugged in all the time. The salesperson told me it would be months between charges. I have to charge it every night overnight. Which is a hassle and defeats the purpose of having a camera round the clock if it’s charging overnight.

Great picture Quality!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A Best Buy Tech recently installed our two Google Nest Cams in the front and back of our house. The picture quality is very clear during the day or night. The Cams alert us on our phone if someone comes within range. We are happy to have this added security protection.

Good concept. Not well executed for busy areas.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Battery is not good at all. Charging once a week at this point. Only have people notifications on. Cords are not long enough if you have in a tough area. Charging is so slow for 2022. A few hours. Then it doesn't last long. You want to install this in a easy access spot hopefully with an outlet nearby. Video says 1080p, but when I look at downloaded recordings. Blurry with any zoom. Does not detect people walk right near it at my place. But someone across the street I will get a notification. Not a bad option. But google home doesn't have much to offer regarding settings or video. Cannot even view videos on computer like Nest.

Posted .Hi jetsareokay, we truly appreciate our feedback on Nest Cam (battery), and are sorry to learn your expectations are not met.
Your Nest doorbell could be detecting a lot of activities, as the battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and doorbell settings that you select. You can extend the battery life of your doorbell 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
It only takes around 4-5 hours to fully charge the Nest Cam (battery). And to avoid charging the battery more often than you should, you might want to consider connecting your camera to a power outlet with the included or optional power adapter. Connecting to continuous power will 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 you can use a compatible weatherproof cable (sold separately).
We request for your patience as we’re working on a seamless solution to create a better user experience. Meanwhile, we suggest having the latest version of the Google Home app that may improve camera playback controls to make it easier to play, pause, and navigate between events from the camera history view for cameras set up in the Google Home app.
Your feedback and experience are important to us. If you’re willing, please get in touch with our specialists team so we can guide you with structured troubleshooting procedures, here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10901611
