    After being unhappy with a Swann NVR based system and an Arlo system I changed both of those out to Nest. The Nest system seems to run a little slower than Arlo did, but overall for the price, build quality, ease of setup, and ongoing subscription prices this was a great upgrade. Major gripe about the 2-pack was it didn't come with 2 chargers and cables, just one set, so I got shorted and should have gotten the single pack cameras. Also, I bought some wasserstein security mounts and then found out that the nest cams came with a security cable already.

      Hi finjam, we appreciate your feedback on Nest Cam (battery), and we’re glad that you find it a great upgrade. We hear your concerns, and we’d be happy to share this with the right team to work on improving our products and the services we offer, including product information.

      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. We also understand that having two charging cables for your cameras can be convenient for you. If you want to consider connecting your cameras to a power outlet for continuous power but you only have one charging cable and adapter, we suggest reaching out to our support team anytime so we can figure out a way to help you best, here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    I've been using nest and other cameras for a very long time and I can tell you whomever says that these cameras are no good have no idea what they're talking about and are clueless these by far are the best I have used the clarity is out of this world the size of the cameras and the size of the magnets are outstanding! Even though the cameras are large they blend in very well, the speakers are also out of this world the clarity of the sound I can now talk to my dogs and they do listen through the cameras. Yes there's a new system to be used apart from the old nest cam but what do you expect it's a new company we get used to something it's hard to let go I understand but these cameras have outstanding clarity.

    Good camera. Battery lasts several weeks sometimes months depending on the activity. Only reason for 4 stars is I believe the video quality could be a little better. Grainey picture when zooming in at all. Nest aware is pretty good and easy to use.

    The battery on these cameras last a long time and the video quality is great. The major downside is that they don’t work on the nest app, so you have to check history on Google Home instead.

      Hi Drew, thanks for your time sharing your feedback with us. We're glad to know that you find the Nest Cam (battery) great.

      We’re aware that longtime Nest users enjoy viewing their Nest camera feeds from the Nest app, however, our priority with our new Nest cameras was building a complete experience in the Google Home app. Our teams are working on enabling the ability to set up and control older Nest cameras in the Home app so users will have one app to control all of their devices, and we’re working on bringing full functionality to the Google Home app as we want to create an integrated experience with other Nest and smart home devices.

      We request for your patience as we’re working on a seamless solution. If you need help with any concerns about the Nest camera, feel free to let us know here and we’ll gladly help you the best we can: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
