||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s super great! I haven’t gotten into the settings of it yet but just with a basic setup it records when someone walks pass and I got it hooked up to my Alexa echo show 5 on my nightstand. I have it at the front door and you can communicate through it. The speaker on it is loud and clear and the mic is great too. I’m not looking forward to customizing it more so I’ll probably leave it as is. It comes with a white security cable also so you won’t have to buy one. I bought an extra pack of security cables not knowing that the nest comes with one.

||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Would have gave it a 5 star but was a little disappointed as they only come with 1 charger so you can’t charge both at the same time. If I would have known I would have purchased them separately so I could have had a charger for each. Other than that we love it.

I would recommend this to a friend Needs more storage
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cameras work well, so wish that they came with at least 24hours of free recording storage but only saves a few hrs. The app could use some updating.

Posted .Hi przemko, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with our support team. We're glad to hear that Nest Cam (Battery) is getting better quality images on event based recording. When hardwired, you get the same image and video quality, but with the added ability to continuously record 24/7.
We wanted to make the Google Home app as 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 Cam 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.
We’d like to learn more about your experience, and see how we can improve it. Please do not hesitate to contact our support team here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Nest Battery cams so so poor choice
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very unhappy it takes forever to connect battery life is poor compared to competitors and is forever disconnecting from my WiFi which is the nest hub system. Blink cameras are much better in my opinion

Posted .Hi there, user480158. Thanks for reaching out to us. We're sorry to hear that you're experiencing battery life and Wi-Fi disconnection issues with your Nest Cam (Battery).
Here are some recommended steps that may be helpful with the Wi-Fi connectivity issue:
- Check for possible congestion in your Wi-Fi network. Removing some of your connected devices can help free up some bandwidth space. You may then check to see if you will still experience the same connectivity issue.
- Check for possible sources of interference such as the thick walls and appliances in your home.
Battery life of Nest Cam (Battery) will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. You can extend the battery life of your 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)
It's important to check 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.

Easy to use
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great, only charge them every 2-3 months . The night vision works very nice, it has a speaker with the mic so you can easily talk to whom ever you see.
I would recommend this to a friend Great camera but has video length limitations
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love Nest wired cameras. This battery camera was only working in 20 seconds intervals whenever there was activity which I am not crazy about. I don't have that limitation with my wired cameras. I ended up buying the electric cable to extend the length of video recordings.

Posted .Hi LoveMyTV, we're glad to hear that you're loving the new generation of Nest cameras, including Nest Cam (Battery). We're sorry to hear that you aren't a fan of the limited video recording.
