      Hi Snookered, thanks for posting a review on Nest Cam (battery), and we’re sorry to hear about your poor experience with its connectivity despite having a strong signal.

      Sometimes, a range issue or wireless interference can cause your Nest camera to disconnect from your Wi-Fi. Try moving your camera a bit closer to your router. Sometimes it may pass the connection test during setup, but will struggle to stay connected if it’s just a bit too far away. You may also check for objects such as mirrors and refrigerators between the camera and your router as these items could block the connection. For more help, read Troubleshooting wireless interference here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9276282

      If the connectivity issue persists, we’d like to check whether this is caused by the camera or other environmental factors. Feel free to find us anytime here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    As loyal google/nest user I gave these a try .. what a disappointment, what was google thinking? Battery is inadequate and lasts less than 2 weeks, even if pointed at a low traffic area. Why is the power wire facing towards the front? Google please design an updated and improved IQ cam to make up for this disaster. Returning.

      Hi LeMode, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that Nest Cam (Battery) didn’t eet your needts.

      Battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. You can extend the battery life of your camera by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas. Here are some typical scenarios:
      - Busy - About 1.5 months battery life (about 20 - 25 recorded events per day)
      - Typical - About 3 months battery life (about 9 - 12 recorded events per day)
      - Quiet - About 7 months battery life (about 2 - 4 recorded events per day)

      Your feedback is important to us as we are always working to improve our products and services. We’re hoping that you will continue using your Nest Cam (Battery). If you need assistance, feel free to contact our support team here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

      Hi Busakap, thanks for letting us know about the issue. We´re sorry to hear that the video feed from your Nest Cam (Battery) has been choppy, and about the difficulty with adding a new device.

      The issue is most likely related to a connectivity issue with your network. We recommend checking if your Nest Cam (Battery) might be getting a weak Wi-Fi signal from your router. Placing your Nest Cam (Battery) in a location where you get better signal reception might be helpful in improving it. The issue may also be related to possible congestion in your network. Removing some of your connected devices to free up some bandwidth space, and to test if the issue will persist. If you verify the presence congestion, we recommend contacting your Internet service provider and consider upgrading your bandwidth.

      We'd like to know further about your difficulty in adding new devices to the Google Home app. If you need further help, we'd be happy to help troubleshoot the issue further and even walk you through the setup process for your Google Nest devices and Nest Cam (Battery). Please consider contacting our support team using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    should have called it the “Google Camera” this product has nothing to do with nest and is only compatible with mobile phone viewing— can’t view it on a desktop/laptop! without the great ease of use and quality of the nest software integration, you’re better off with a cheaper camera from tp-link

    DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! It does not work with the current Nest App, only Google Home, which is a garbage product. I could not get these to work with Google Home either. Google has ruined a fine product family from Nest.
