Posted .Hey there, FredR. Thanks for sharing your concerns about the Nest Cam (battery). We're sorry to hear that your experience with the device didn't meet your expectations. The battery life depends on factors including activity, temperature, and doorbell settings that you select. You can extend the battery life by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events to monitor specific areas. Check this link for more details: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10901611
Also, the Nest Cam (battery) is designed with versatility since it’s an outdoor/indoor battery powered device. It can be used with a set of various power accessories including two weatherproof cables with power adapter (sold separately), of 16 ft and 33 ft in length. If you find it more convenient connecting to continuous power that will keep the battery charged, which is required to get 24/7 video history if you have a Nest Aware Plus subscription, we suggest using the weatherproof cable since the included power adapter is not intended for outdoor use.

Posted .Hi Sam1988G, it’s great to have your feedback on Nest Cam (battery). We hear your concerns about the cameras’ battery life, and we’re here to help.
Besides the camera settings that you select, cold temperatures can also affect the battery life. As the temperature gets colder, the battery life gets shorter. Also, the battery in your camera or doorbell won't charge at temperatures below 32°F (0°C). You can connect your camera to a power outlet using the included USB cable. This will power the camera so it doesn't need to use the battery.
On the other hand, we’d like to learn more about your situation to find out why the battery drains faster than usual, and why it takes 24 hours to charge them. Please contact us whenever you have time using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
Never had a issue
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have several of these cameras around the house. Slowly been replacing the old nest cameras. I just wish they had the same fuctions as the old nest cameras but the new features are good as well.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent clarity and definition. The camera was easy to set up and control.
I would recommend this to a friendSuper easy set up
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was super easy to set up. I put it off thinking I would need to drill holes and mount it but I was wrong. The magnets are very strong and the battery lasts for a month or more depending on how often you use it. The magnet on the base holds very firmly to any metal and the camera attaches to the base with magnets as well and you can position it however you need it. It charges very quickly and lasts a long time.

||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall good cameras. Over time the charging cable has issues connecting well to the small contacts so you have to clean them each time you pull the camera down.

Posted .Hey there, JFred. We’re glad you’re enjoying the Nest Cam (Battery). That being said, we hear your concern with having to clean the connector. Over time, your outdoor camera may collect dust, pollen, water spots, and other debris. Here’s how to clean it properly:
1. Unplug your camera from the power outlet.
2. Moisten a soft cloth with water and a little dish soap.
3. Hold your camera steady and gently wipe its surface clean with a cloth. Keep soap off the lens.
4. Rinse the cloth and wipe down the surfaces again to remove any remaining soap.
5. Plug your camera back in.

Posted .Hi there, Todd. Thank you for sharing your feedback on the battery life of your Nest Cam (battery). The built-in rechargeable batteries are made for long-lasting battery life and should give you at least 1.5 months if the device is busy(about 20-25 recorded events per day). It's important to us that we provide you with the best help possible and identify the cause of the battery issues you’re having with your device. Please reach out to our dedicated team of specialists on our Google Nest Help page for immediate support here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
Decent Camera for most
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It a good camera. Not as good as the old nest cameras but still decent for most people. The only downside is you have to use the god awful atrocious Google Home app. Get a bridge to use the Home app.

Posted .Hi Asymptote, thanks for posting your feedback about the Nest Cam (battery) and the Google Home app, and we’re sorry to learn it has not met your expectations.
We’re aware that longtime Nest users enjoy viewing their Nest camera feeds from the Nest app. However, our priority with this launch was building a complete experience for our new cameras and doorbell in the Google Home app. While the new Nest cameras and doorbells are exclusive to the Google Home app, users with previous versions of Nest cameras can view their camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new Nest Doorbell and Nest Cams. Also, Google accounts come with the added benefits, such as one account to sign into both the Nest and Google Home apps, automatic security protections, your Google Nest devices and services working together, and more.
We're always here to help you improve your experience. Our dedicated support team can guide you with using your Nest camera effectively in the Google Home app, and you'll find us always available here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
Not quite a finished product unfortunately
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted to love these SO SO badly. We need more legit battery-operated cameras in the market. We are a Google Home home, and have lots of Google products that we love and use every day, but it's as if these were released incomplete. They are crazy heavy, the battery is terrible, and we had such poor interference with our ceiling-mounted LED lights, that the video would be nearly obscured with black stripes. We went through Google to get replacements, which we'll try out, but are not hopeful.

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These cameras are great! I own about 6 of them. The picture is super clear and the mic can pick up sounds or talking from a good distance. The magnetic mount offers the ability to position perfectly.
I would recommend this to a friendWorth the buy
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don’t understand all the poor reviews. I just moved into my new house and went from Ring to Nest. I bought these battery cameras because where i wanted my cameras there was no power source anywhere near it. They work great and ive had no issues at all. The battery life is not an issue unless your trying to record 24/7. If you do motion only and create a zone and pick people and vehicles it will last for a month or 2 before needing a charge.
I would recommend this to a friendGood enough
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works as intended, have to have strong wifi signal to work. Would have liked a second charging cable or USB c charging capability
