    Dissapointed....We had an older nest camera that was plugged into a power source, so it recored all the time. This one does not do that and only records when it sees activity, but it's not that reliable. Even when there is activity sometimes it doesn't record, especially at night. I will be looking into a different brand of camera soon.

      Hi ThatGuyD, thanks for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you didn't quite like the Google Home app for Nest Cam (Battery).

      We understand that you have enjoyed using the Nest app with your Nest cameras. However, our priority with this launch was building a complete experience for our new cameras and doorbell in the Google Home app. We wanted 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. 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 in to both the Nest and Google Home apps.
      - Your homes, and home members will be aligned across the Nest and Google Home apps.

      If you´re willing to try, you may set up your Nest cameras to the Google Home app. Here´s a guide that you can follow to set up your Nest cameras on the Google Home app: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9893532

      For any other support needs you may have, please consider contacting our support team. We'd be happy to entertain you and answer any questions you may have by visiting us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
