I did it myself, and I’m 70 years old
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When ADT originally installed all of my cameras at my home, I paid close attention. Because a part of my front area of the house was not covered, I opted to purchase another camera from Best Buy, which matched the rest of my cameras. I first programmed it into the system inside And completed a full charge. It may be confusing because these are battery cameras but you do keep them plugged in so the battery remains charged. I had to order a longer charge line because the line which comes with the camera is very short. Thankfully this additional charge Line and plug was not very expensive. I mapped out my installation and then proceeded to drill a hole through the front of my garage above the big garage door. I routed the cord and plugged it into a dedicated outlet in the garage. I then attached the magnet camera to the base and installed the safety line just in case the camera was knocked off the base. The camera works just as the rest of them do which were professionally installed. If this 70 year-old lady can do it, then I bet you can too.

Great as wired cameras, not so great as battery
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve read a lot of reviews I’ve these cameras since I purchased them. I wanted to take time and test for myself for several months before coming up with my own opinion. If you use these wired, these cameras are GREAT! Not perfect but they are solid and the service works well. Google needs to do a lot to update their Google home app but I’m not going to demote these cameras because of the app, that’s what the AppStore feedback is for. Alerting works well and quickly it face recognition with these cameras are not always accurate. An example would be the cameras kept flagging one of my kids as our neighbor and they look nothing alike! As a stand alone battery camera, they are not that great. I spent a lot of time tweaking the camera settings, motion sensitivity and everything else in between and there were just a lot of inconsistencies. I tested with myself and the kiddos walking and running around the yard and sometimes it would see them, but most often I would get any hits. I also noticed it would capture an event unless you were with 12 feet, regardless of the sensitivity adjustments. I was really disappointed by this as I really wanted to use battery mode for the backyard and wired cameras for the front. Hopefully the next gen cameras solve this problem. So for me, as camera, YES! Battery camera, no to meh, at your own risk.

Google Nest Cam (Indoor/Outdoor, Wire-Free)
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been using the Nest Cam wire-free version for a couple of months now, and overall, I’m really happy with it. I use one outside by the front door and another inside the garage. The biggest plus is that it’s truly wire-free, so I didn’t have to drill or run power lines—just mounted it and connected it to Wi-Fi. The video quality is crisp, and the night vision works great. The smart motion detection is pretty accurate, and I really like that it can tell the difference between people, animals, and vehicles. The battery life is decent—mine lasts about 1.5 to 2 months on a single charge, depending on activity. Integration with the Google Home app is smooth, but I do wish it had more settings control like the older Nest app. Also, if you want continuous recording or familiar face detection, you’ll need to subscribe to Nest Aware.

Battery low but great quality
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We really like this camera but the battery dies pretty face. This may be “user error” as its further from our router so its often trying hard to connect. We will move it or get a wifi extender and try again. Hoping this helps fix the battery issue. Probably would hardwire in the future for cameras in spots that are further from the router.

Very good for the money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are excellent cameras for the price. There is a limitation to the mounting where it works best when mounted to a wall vs. a ceiling. The setup process is very simple and the wifi works well.

Indoor/Outdoor Battery Cam
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great quality camera. Wasnt sure about having to change from the Nest app to the Home app, but it all works out. Wish the battery was a little longer, but I dont think they meant for it to go in as high traffic areas as I use them in. All in all, great camera, and will be buying again.

Posted .Hi there, SeanS. We're glad to hear that you're finding Nest Cam (Battery) as a great camera. We also appreciate your feedback on the Home app and the battery life. However, the battery life of Nest Cam (Battery) will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. It's possible to 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 for your Nest Cam (Battery):
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)
We recommend checking the frequency of events (per day) that you get with your Nest Cam (Battery). If the short battery life isn´t related to the frequency of events, then we may need to have a closer look at your device and understand what may be causing it. You may contact our support team for further assistance by visiting us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Great camera; Easy to set up; Highly recommend
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed a camera that was compatabile with the 5Ghz of our new Starlink internet and the Nest is compatable! It was very easy to set up, took just a few minutes; in part because I already have google home set up with a Google Mini in my kitchen. The app is easy to use, and the camera has sollid features that work great. Night vision is impressive, range is impressive. Very happy with this so far. I did buy the power adapter just for added comfort that I don't need to worry about the batter life. The redudancy was a personal choice and prohibits me from commenting on the battery life. Glad the option is available, nice perk.

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The cameras are good! Good quality, but unfortunately battery only lasts about 2.5 weeks with the camera being in the front of our house. Id recommend a wired version if you plan on putting it in a high traffic area.

Wire failure
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would still recommend these cameras although after three years of southern florida sunlight the wires have dried out. I started having intermittent drop out from this camera. Upon observation I found the rubber sheathing dried and missing and the cable exposed. But until that issue the cameras were better than the competitors in my opinion.

Great cameras, wish Nest/Google Home integrated
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Setup was easy and quick to integrate with then Google home app. I will not give a 5 because the Nest App will not support them and google has not yet integrated the two together to make it seamless. The cameras are top notch though and come with everything you need in the box.

Good camera but is not nest compatible
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros - - Easy to setup - Works out of the box Cons - Does NOT work with Nest Home App. You will need Google home app separately for this camera - Unless you purchase the power cable, the battery pack does not stay on all the time. Only when it detects motion (which is couple of seconds after the motion starts)
