Do not buy if you have other nest cameras
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Returning these for sure. Really, no Nest app support?? Seriously? I have lots of nest cameras at different locations in different towns. I was waiting for these so I didn’t have to run new power to certain areas. But what good is having to use a different app to see all me cameras! It’s a security camera! Am I supposed to flip between apps while there’s a potential break in? To the people or google who say “use the 1 google home app and see all the cameras”. That app is garbage. Hard to set up slow way slower than Nest app and unreliable and best. I’ve always been able to depend on the Nest app. But now it really makes the whole system useless. It was simple take a camera people love, make it battery operated. How did you screw that up??? These are coming back your way google.

Posted .Hi Matt, thanks for your feedback on Nest Cam (Battery). We´re sorry to hear about your disappointment with the Google Home app.
Our goal is to make the Google Home app 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.
If you´re willing to try, you may set up your Nest cameras to the Google Home app. In the near future, we’ll allow users to set up other Nest devices and have full control in the 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

Warning: doesn't work well with old Nest Cameras
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just talked with Google Nest support and this 'Nest' camera does NOT work with the Nest app, only the Google home app. WORSE is that the old Nest cameras don't fully work in the Google home app (no video history). So the answer from support is using two separate apps to get alerts and video history. That is crazy. So don't buy unless you don't own any Nest products currently. And even then--the Google Home app is pretty bad/not easy to use. They should remove the name 'Nest' from the product and give warnings about this.

Posted .Hi Dudeman, we appreciate your feedback and thanks for sharing your insights about the Nest Cam (Battery). We understand how inconvenient it is to have two separate apps to control and manage your cameras.
The new Nest cameras and doorbells are exclusive to the Home app, but you can view your old Nest Cams in the Home app alongside the new Nest Doorbell and Nest Cams. If you set up your camera or doorbell in the Home app, you can use the Home app to change its settings, and if you first set up your camera or doorbell in the Nest app, most of its settings will be in the Nest app, but you can also change some settings in the Home app. Camera settings that appear in both the Home app and Nest app (for example, turning the camera on or off) will look different. However, changing one of these settings in one app will be reflected in the other app.
Our team is working on bringing full functionality to the Google Home app so all of your cameras can be set up and controlled in one place. In the meantime, if you have any concerns around the performance and features of the Nest Cam (Battery), let us know here and we’d be happy to help: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
Best security camera
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these after buying the Google doorbell camera. Because I had already setup the doorbell via Google app, adding these were simple. I also bought the extra long outdoor cables. No fault alerts after using for 6 months. No charging needed. working even during power outage.

Poor quality security system
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The battery life is awful, so I am constantly taking them down to recharge. They recharge very slowly, so it takes hours to charge one of them. The low end temp is -4 degrees F, so all three cameras went offline this morning when the temp hit -10. Save your money and buy a different system.
