Zero issues with this device. The lack of power cable allowed me to put cameras where I needed without all the extra work. I think I’m going on 30 days or so with no battery issues.

There was no charging cable in the box. The package had a checklist which said cable is present . But none received. Called their customer support and supervisor team several times and asked for help. But no one helped. Poor experience and pathetic support. Overall what a bad experience

The nest outdoor cameras are awesome. I have not tried the wireless functionality but the wired is absolutely amazing.

Nice clear picture and the battery life is pretty good. I have dogs that go outside several times a day and activate the camera and it still lasts for several weeks. Highly recommend!
Hi Danm, we appreciate you for sharing your review. We're sorry to learn that you're experiencing some difficulties with the batteries of your Nest Cam (battery). We'd recommend that you reach out to our support specialists so we can help identify why the batteries don't last long.

Nice cameras, but like the old Nest App better

These cameras are easy to set up. I liked the old Nest app better than Google Home, but these new cameras only work with Google Home.
Hey Mike, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us, and we’re glad that you found the Nest Cam (battery) with ease of setup and use. We’re aware that longtime Nest users enjoy having the option to view their Nest camera feeds from the web, and we are working on adding this experience. However, our priority with this launch was building a complete experience for our new cameras and doorbell in the Google Home app.
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. And if you need help with any concerns about the performance and functionality of the camera, You're more than welcome to let us know here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Best Buy service with Google products = 5 stars!!!
Hi Greg, it’s great to have your feedback, and we’re glad that the Nest Cam (battery) meets your expectations. We’re focused on giving our customers value for the price, including three hours of event history right out of the box for the first time ever. On-device processing also gives our customers smart alerts and Activity Zones, which historically have required a subscription. There's no fee to stream full resolution live video and receive basic notifications, as long as your camera is connected to the internet. However, you’ll need a Nest Aware subscription to receive advanced notifications. With a Nest Aware subscription your video will be saved to the cloud and you’ll get extra features. Find out more what you can get with the Nest Aware subscription here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9233159

I've found the notifications to be much more accurate and much quicker than my previous Nest Cam Outdoors. That's where the good ends. The Google Home app holds these cameras back and can't even compare to the Nest app. The app was nowhere ready for this launch and Google made a huge mistake forcing the use of the Home app.
On another note, if you wire one of these up for 24/7 video and you're expecting continuous scrubbing like in the Nest app, you'll be very disappointed.
Hi Brett, thanks for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with the Google Home app and the continuous video recording for your Nest Cam (Battery).
We wanted 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.
We'd like to hear more about your experience, including your concerns with the 24/7 video recording option when you hardwire your Nest Cam (Battery). You can check with our support team and we'll gladly help you out, if you can reach out to us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Not sure what they were thinking.

Purchased today and will return tomorrow. Some genius though that it would be a good idea to make a security camera with a battery and not include charging cables. There is 3' cable for the two cameras. So, when the battery runs out you will need to pull your ladder back out and take the camera down and charge it then put it back OR you can spend $40 in a separate purchase for a longer charging cable. Will happily return tomorrow.
Hello there, thanks for sharing the details of your feedback about the Nest Cam (Battery), and we’re sorry to learn it’s a disappointment for you. We 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

Outdoor nest Camera was purchased to add to my existing account. Great addition.
Hi there, KellyB. We’re sorry to see the Nest Cam (Battery) wasn’t quite what you were expecting. You can get continuous recording by being connected to a power source and subscribed to Google Home Premium. For more information, here’s a link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9681538

I love all of the cameras that Nest/Google have released. My only gripe is power cable length.
