I would recommend this to a friendGood cameras
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They are good quality for wireless. Sometimes the feed won't pull up when you try to view it but usually backing out and opening it again fixes it. Also they do not like cold weather. It doesn't effect video quality just battery life.

Posted .Hi Lovethecover, thanks for sending in your feedback on the battery life of your Nest Cam (battery). We're sorry to hear that your experience with the device didn't meet your expectations. Battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and selected camera settings. Your battery when busy should last about 1.5 months. This would be about 20 - 25 recorded events per day. If you're experiencing less activity than this and still having battery issues, we'd recommend that you reach out to our support team so we can help identify the cause of the battery drain. Please contact us on our Google Help page here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
Overall nice Google backed product, read more
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall a well integrated Google product, seemless connectivity with Google home, which works on Apple and Android. After 11 months of usage, no issues with connectivity, was able access the camera remotely, even from otherside of planet , thanks to powerof Internet. Got two cameras, one is flickering in the night, looks like IR (infra red) module could be broken. Functinality in Day is good. Is battery powered, however needs charging, but also can take external power. So if you are planning for leaving long term 2 weeks or more, recommend buying external cable, costs extra. Also has magnetic bases, gives flexibility with installing on doors without additional tools. Pricing is on the higher side. I am hoping Google will replace my faulty camera whichisstillinwarranty, that is one of the reasons I bought this camera, my experience with Google with another claim was good. If you have a slightly higher budget and want Google backed product, i would go with this. Also for camera recordings, default free event history you only see last 3 hours of information, the monthly plan costs extra.

Google Nest Cameras
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Product works very good with hot spot device and the magnet is stronger than I expected. Overall it was a good buy and the price was fair.
I would recommend this to a friendWell Designed
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Integrated with older Nest/Google system very easily. Battery lasts several weeks (depending on the setting) before needing to charge. I have these in odd locations so hardwiring was not an option. I eventually added the solar charging panel and haven't had to take them down to charge since (even in sub-zero temps). Great clarity and wide field of view. Very reliable.
I would recommend this to a friendAwesome cameras
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The cameras worked straight out the box. It was an open box product all items that came with it were there and function as it should.
I would recommend this to a friendWhy only a single charging chord with two cameras?
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would have given this item 5 stars but the two pack only came with a single charging cord. This was not made clear in the product marketing so a little misleading. Bad on Google. Cameras are solid.

Posted .Hello there, Tucett. Thanks for sharing your experience with Nest Cam (battery). We’re sorry to hear of your issues with the event detection and recording features. We suggest checking each of the camera settings so you can choose which events your cameras can detect and record (people, motion, package, etc.). From there, you (and each member of your home) can decide which of those events to get notifications for. If an event is turned off, you won’t get notifications for that kind of activity. Using activity zones to monitor specific areas can also help.
We can also check if there’s anything that causes your cameras to behave differently, and we welcome you to contact us anytime here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
Good cameras
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The cameras install easy, are easy to contact to wfi, and have good coverage. The battery life, so far, is less than I expected but may improve as I get the zones better calibrated.

I would recommend this to a friendGreat cameras
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I set up one camera with wire and the other via battery. Battery life is OK, but I would recommend wiring if possible. I was a little bummed that they dont work with the legacy Nest app or online portal, but the legacy cameras do show up in Google Hime. Takes a little time to get used to it.

Posted .Hello there, BLTPHX. Thanks for sharing your experience with using the Nest Cam (battery). We’re sorry to hear that using the Home app, to control and manage your camera settings, is below your preference.
We’re aware that longtime Nest users enjoy viewing their Nest camera feeds from the Nest app. However, the Nest Cam (battery) is exclusive to the Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience with our other Google Nest devices. We also 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. Other benefits include the following:
- Automatic security protections such as Suspicious activity detection, 2-Step Verification and Security Checkup.
- Your Google Nest devices and services will work together.
- 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.
If you need help with using the camera in the Home app effectively, please let us know by visiting here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
Super user friendly camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love my Google nest cameras, easy to use app, cameras are good quality and easy to view old footage no complaints
I would recommend this to a friendBest night vision available.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent picture quality and easy set up to Google/Nest sites. Happy to see the power cord can stay connected all the time as I had the power nearby and did not want to recharge the unit. Very impressive night vision, picture clarity is exceptional
I would recommend this to a friendBetter Than Expected
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this for my pre-wired cameras. The battery life is better than I was expecting but night vision and image quality is far beyond my previous different very common brand cameras!!
I would recommend this to a friendDecent Camera
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very easy to install and setup in the Google home app. Satisfied with video quality and overall product. Very very disappointed in the lack of integration with the nest app. Unfortunately I’m all in on the meet cameras. If I were in the position that this was my first camera purchase I would definitely buy into the Arlo family.

Cant hear audio during playback in the app and audio doesnt reach as far as other cameras out there (when i can actually hear it). For the amount I paid for these i would expect better.

Posted .Hello there, NickP. Thanks for sharing your feedback about the Nest Cam (battery). We’re glad that you like its image quality and the app, but we’re sorry to learn that your expectations with the audio quality are not met.
It may be helpful to check that your phone’s media playback volume is turned up, and make sure your camera's audio settings are correct. In the Home app, touch and hold your device's tile Settings > Audio, and use the slider to adjust the volume. You can also turn the microphone on or off, and switch audio recording.
