||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like this camera a lot. Can go anywhere with wifi. Having a battery makes it super convenient, but you also have the option to wire it if you don't want to worry about charging.
I would recommend this to a friendBig downgrade from old Nest cam
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a big downgrade from the old nest cam. The new app is very difficult to use, and you can’t leverage the original nest app which was much better. I’m hoping google does not sunset the old app. The recording starts way to late and cuts out early, and many clips have a weird white flash at the beginning of the recording. Image quality is worse than original camera as well. I’m returning the camera and scooping up the old one while they are still in stock at some stores.

Home app cannot detect
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really wanted to get this camera working since i already own other google devices in my home but the Google Home app just would not detected this camera, therefore could not get to use this camera. After a few hours of wasting my day fiddling with it, I ended up returning this camera. This will give me a chance to check out all the other brands.

Not worth the money. Look somewhere else.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not worth the money. The camera has a very difficult time catching anything. I've even adjust the sensitivity to high and it still only starts to record after the person has walked up/past the camera. My older Arlo system is much better.

Posted .Hi there, thanks for posting a review to share what you’ve experienced with the Nest Cam (Battery). We’re sorry to learn that you ran into this issue with your camera not catching any activities.
Your camera runs algorithms to process video and audio data so it can determine whether it detected something you might want to know about. If you only need your camera to detect people, animals, or moving vehicles, we recommend that you do not turn on the basic motion and sound detection feature. You might have to move your camera, change your camera’s angle, or change something in the scene so that you don’t miss important activity and choose which events your camera or doorbell can detect and record (people, motion, package etc.).
If you’re willing, we’d like to learn more about this issue. Please reach out to our support team for further assistance here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Third camera. Needed to replace
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a third camera that needed to be replaced because the battery discharges even though it is continuously plugged in. Paid electricians to check outlets. All pointed to camera issues. Google was no help and equally save on internet that others experienced problems. Works now after getting a new camera. Not sure for how long. Would not get this camera brand again.

Google has messed up the new line up of cameras.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Battery life is horrible, lasts maybe two weeks. Doesnt work in the older Nest app with my existing cameras. You can only access it in the Google Home app that has less features. I ended up returning it. In comparison i also use the Blink wireless cameras that use 4 AA and they last over a year before changing them out.

Posted .Hi NCruz, we really appreciate your feedback about the Nest Cam (battery), and we’re sorry to hear it didn’t meet your expectations.
The new Nest cameras and doorbell are exclusive to the Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience with your speakers and displays. Our long term plan is to use the Google Home app as the one place you can control all of your favorite Nest and other smart home devices, as well as Google Assistant. Also, your camera could have detected a lot of activities, as the battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select, which can be extended by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas.
We understand that you returned your camera already, but if you’re willing to try the Nest camera some time again, we have our dedicated team of specialists always ready to provide you with services and assistance here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
