Posted .Hi JStiff, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you’re having multiple issues with Nest Cam (battery).
For slow display, we could be looking at a possible connectivity issue that affects the overall performance of your Nest Cam. It can be caused by different factors like location and distance of Nest Cam, Wi-Fi router, outdated phone and Google Home app. This may also be caused by Wi-Fi network congestion and Wi-Fi interference with other devices and/or networks. Removing other devices from your Wi-Fi might help. You can also try setting up your device on either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz bands and see which band is more reliable.
Here’s how you can save and download video clips: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9207572
If the issue still persists, we may need to take a closer look in order for us to understand this issue. Feel free to contact our support team. We’d be more than happy to help here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Google's Massive Fail
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Going right back. What a travesty that Google has done to the Nest Cam/Dropcam legacy, which pioneered this segment. Needed to replace 2 of 6 Nest Cam Outdoors with Nest Aware. I looked on the Google site to make sure these new 2021 models would integrate. It stated yes. Now having opened the box, to find out that these will ONLY work with the Google Home app, not the Nest App with the other cameras. They've literally killed the Nest App with this update. QR code scan on the new model will only bring you to Google Home app, even when adding in the Nest App. (at least Sonos has the courtesy to advise of the divide with legacy products vs new products in their S1/S2 apps plus offered trade in value) Love Best Buy & will continue to shop but now questioning what is out their to replace all of our Nest Outdoor Cameras.

Posted .Hi there, thanks for sharing what you think about the Nest Cam (Battery). We appreciate your input as it helps us better understand our customer’s preferences and needs. While we’re continuing to support the Nest app, 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. Using the Google Home app provides a lot of benefits including access to Google's trusted security platform and access to other Google tools and with seamless integration with other Google devices. Users with older cameras can view their camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new Nest Doorbell and Nest Cams.
We understand your choice to replace your Nest Cams and if you decide to try it out again in the future, we’d be happy to work with you and help improve your experience: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Posted .Hi DadChefInIdaho, thanks for sharing your feedback to let us know what you think of the Nest Cam (battery). You might be interested in the Wasserstein Solar Panel For Google Nest Cam (battery). With sufficient direct sunlight, it trickle charges your Google Nest Cam (battery) and the camera runs off the battery charge. The Solar Panel’s unique 360-degree wall mount allows you to position it in any direction for maximum sunlight exposure. We recommend getting in touch with your retailer to inquire about product availability.
For questions and concerns, please reach out to us anytime through our contact channels found here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Trash
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wyze makes a better camera for $30. I have contacted Google, and they want me to pay for a new one. Nest before Google was better and would send me a new one for free. Battery life is bad, camera is never on and Google has no answers.

Google nest cam
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Could not make these work on my home network. Neither camera would communicate with my Google doorbell during the setup process, apparently an essential step to setup wifi parameters. There is no way to simply directly enter credentials for the wifi - seems to be a common problem. I returned the items, after spending a great deal of time attempting to configure them. The hardware seems well designed, and high quality, otherwise this would have been one star.

Buyer look elsewhere!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Update.....these cameras are still basura! I tired to give it a chance, but it's just not a successor to previous models. Google got rid of the 4k camera and put this garbage out. It barely catches an event. I don't get a notification trigger if a car is driving by my house going the speed limit of 25 mph. The camera misses it totally! I came home around 10pm and it did not record my car backing into the driveway. It barely caught me walking to the front door. Google needs to fix this asap. Nest was supposed to be the Cadillac of smart security cameras. Now they're a Kia. Wake up Google. Listen to your customers and not to your stockholders.

Posted .Hi EthaDonW, thanks for leaving a review to let us know about your experience with the Nest Doorbell (Battery). We can see that having issues with event detection and with notifications of the doorbell can be disappointing.
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. Also, Nest camera notifications are a little different. You can choose to receive notifications for everything your camera detects, or choose notifications for only certain types of activity. If you’ve turned on critical alerts, you should receive some push notifications even when your phone is set to Do Not Disturb. You can create Activity Zones to cover areas in your camera’s view that you care about, and choose the type of motion you want to be notified of for each zone. 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. Here’s more information about notification settings you can change for your camera: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9210305
If you're willing, we’d like to have a closer look to find out more about what went wrong. Feel free to contact us anytime here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
