||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had these cameras over a year, they worked great up until these past months. During the day they work great. The problem is at night now. With little to no light even with night vision off the cameras worked great June 2022 to August 2023. From September 2023 to date Nov. 2023 the camera have to go black and white. Having it on color looks blurry and useless. I wish they’d go back to working the way they did prior but only time will tell.

Posted .Hi there, RamG. Thanks for leaving feedback about the Nest cam (battery). It’s unfortunate to hear you ran into this issue with its video quality. A black and white picture during daytime typically means that Night Vision is set to “Always On”. Try to change the Night Vision setting to “Auto”. Change the angle or position of your camera so the sun never shines directly on the lens. For example, angle your camera slightly downward or give it some shade to protect its lens from direct sunlight. Move nearby objects that may reflect the sunlight, if possible.

Posted .Hello there, TracieK. Thank you for sharing your concerns about Nest Cam (battery). We're sorry to hear that you're experiencing some battery issues when the temperature gets low. The lithium-ion battery in your Nest Cam (battery) won't be able to charge if the temperatures are below freezing. Lithium-ion batteries are used for their high power and long life, but are also affected by temperatures below freezing. We recommend the following minimum temperatures for your device:
- Minimum operating temperature: -20 °C (-4 °F)
- Minimum charging temperature: 0 °C (32 °F)
We recommend reaching out to our team of specialists so we can identify the cause of the battery drain even if the temperature in your area is still within operating limits. Please visit our 'Contact Us' page on our Google Help site for immediate support: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
A better version of an already good camera

Posted .Hi AvantgardePlayer479, it’s great to have your feedback and we’re glad that you find the Nest Learning Thermostat an effective product. 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 record video and 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

||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Agree with everyone else about the horribleness of the google home app but this is still a great camera. They are much more responsive with notifications than the older cameras.

Not practical
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Battery does not last long. Since you pretty much have to plug them in every other day, they are not wireless. They shape of the camera looks chic, but it is not practical. Hard to face camera in exact direction of your choice due to it’s shape. Placement of charging cable is poor as well. When the camera is plugged in, you have limited options on positioning. Since the camera does not hold a charge for long, it must be plugged in often.

I would recommend this to a friendNot compatible with Nest mobile app
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are an existing Nest ecosystem user, do not buy any new google nest cameras. For some reason, they aren't compatible with the Nest App. You will need to use the Google Home app. However, the Google Home app UI is horrible. What's even more odd is that the new video doorbell and YaleXNest smart deadbolt work with the Nest App. It sucks that you can't use the Nest App as it's way better than the Google App.

Posted .Hi SeattleGuy77, we really appreciate you for letting us know of your experience with using the Nest Cam (Battery) and the Google Home app but are sorry that it was a disappointment for you.
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. Our teams are working on enabling the ability to set up and control older Nest cameras in the Home app so users will have one app to control all of their devices, and we’re working on bringing full functionality to the Google Home app as we want to create an integrated experience with other Nest and smart home devices.
We're always here to help you improve your experience. If you have any issue with your Nest Cam (Battery) and using it effectively in the Google Home app, please feel free to find us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
