Battery Life
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They hold a long charge (Months) in low traffic areas and easy to install. The recharge is fast too. It also allows you to direct plug in if you have access to a outlet. I like it doesn’t need a power source where you install.

BUT IT!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Buy it don’t second guess… have this camera outside and it does not disappoint
I would recommend this to a friend BEWARE - CANNOT USE THESE WITH A GSUITE EMAIL ACCO
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like these cameras overall but there is a big shortfall. If you or someone in your family has a business gmail account you cannot add these to Google Home. Try having a conversation with your customer when you've installed a bunch of these and then tell them they can't use their primary email for the set up. Some people get really upset about this. This is a Google product. Why would you do this??

Useless camera for security
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ok camera for live but quality is sub part and battery only lasts a few days. Doesn't record movement or notify. Someone hit our trash cans and the camera didn't record anything. Only good for live viewing.

Posted .Hey there, Miko. We hear your concerns regarding battery life and notifications on the Nest Cam (Battery). Here are some solutions to make sure your device is running smoothly:
On average here’s how long the battery will last on a single charge:
Busy - About 1 month battery life (about 25 - 30 recorded events per day)
Typical - About 2.5 months battery life (about 13 - 16 recorded events per day)
Quiet - About 6 months battery life (about 2 - 5 recorded events per day)
Here are a few tips to conserve battery:
1. Optimize its video quality.
2. Shorten the length of time for which events are recorded.
3. Take longer to begin recording between events.

Excellent Camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good. I think a this is a good idea for low traffic areas to preserve the battery life. So far after 1 day and not full charging it it only lost 1%. I haven't even begin to set zones. Picture at day or night is amazing.

Unreliable performance
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Expensive product with unreliable and terrible performance. You do not have access to old footage, only seen events. I can walk right past these cameras and half the time never trigger an event. About 80% of the time when you open the home app the cameras say no connection and takes clicking refresh over and over. I do not have the same issues with my wired cameras however when i add all of my cameras they all start to glitch. My wired cameras will record a few seconds and then say video not available for a few seconds and the footage is basically useless and you’re unable to connect and watch the footage live. Eventually (days later) the footage is magically available. When i remove any 1 camera this stops. So imagine you hear something outside and want to check out what’s going on. Only to be met with a black screen that says video unavailable refresh for 30-45 seconds. Knowing the device doesn’t pick up events half the time and there is no video history.

Healthy dogs, good notifications.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very easy to install. I did purchase an aftermarket security device for my security device, which anchors it to the wall. Otherwise, the software keeps me up to date, and I know how often the dogs are walked in my neighborhood. Neat.

I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from Nest Support
Posted .Hi there, thanks for reaching out. We´re sorry to hear that the battery life didn't quite meet your expectations. Battery life of Nest Cam (Battery) will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. Users can extend the battery life of their camera by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas. Here are some typical scenarios for your Nest Cam (Battery):
Busy: About 1.5 months battery life (about 20 - 25 recorded events per day)
Typical: About 3 months battery life (about 9 - 12 recorded events per day)
Quiet: About 7 months battery life (about 2 - 4 recorded events per day)
We recommend checking the frequency of events (per day) that you get with your Nest Cam (Battery). If the short battery life isn´t related to the frequency of events, then we may need to have a closer look at your device and understand what may be causing it.
