Works as intended, and works well. The 60 a year is a great price for facial recognition and a month storage of footage.

I am beyond disappointed. 2 nest outdoor, one cam indoor, two iq cams, two nest hub max, one nest hub. Obviously, I like nest. This camera is HORRIBLE. One charging cable in the box, you CANNOT use the nest app. How is my wife supposed to check on our animals? She cannot access the cameras. The worst part is the camera quality, what a joke! The quality is worse than 1980 POE cameras. Paris Hilton had better quality in the dark. Google will lose my business if this is where they are heading. They are making mistake after mistake with Nest. So stupid.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Hi Crazybear88, thanks for sharing your feedback on the Nest Cam (Battery). We're sorry to hear that the experience has not been ideal for you.
You can adjust the video quality in the settings to balance high resolution video with longer battery life and lower bandwidth use. For optimal video quality at 1080p, an internet connection upload speed with at least 2 Mbps per camera is recommended (DSL may not qualify). Please check the steps below: - Open the Home app Google Home app. - Select your camera. - Tap Settings Video. - Under “Video quality,” tap High.
New Nest cameras and doorbells are exclusive to the Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience. Users with older cameras can view their camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new Nest Doorbell and Nest Cams. 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.
Also, it only takes around 4-5 hours to fully charge the Nest Cam (battery). If you need more than one charging cable, or if you want the camera to be wired with continuous power, you can go with the optional Nest Cam (battery) Weatherproof Cable (in 5m or 10m) to keep your Nest Cam connected.

I am so happy to get this installed on my back porch. I am now able to see activities in my backyard and with the ring doorbell, I can see activities in the front of my house.

Great addition to the line. Much better concept than the previous wired version. Battery lasts for months with smart detection. 4 stars on the value unless you can catch a sale.

Battery life is poor. Notifications are spotty, and a real pain to set up again if you change your WiFi network.

Work as advertised. Battery last long time. Wish higher resolution but totally viewable. Best aware is confusing.

At first I was skeptical, but it seems to have learned and picked up events as expected. I wasn’t sure about moving to the Google Home app but it’s been great so far. Battery life is fantastic

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.
