Fell Very Short of Expectations
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this thinking it would be a good introduction into outdoor cameras and I was ultimately disappointed. The wireless on the camera is very dodgy. Going further away and having the same line of sight (same obstacles) for the wifi signal to passthrough I would lose connection as I got closer to the router. The picture quality was the exact same as the dropcam pro and that would make sense given they are both 1080p. I don't care for battery devices like this as they are expected to be treated as a disposable commodity once the battery is depleted enough to not hold a significant charge. I opted for the power cable and that seemed to work fine, but I wish Google would just give a hardwired option that isn't a floodlight. Setup was easy and took no time at all. No Nest app support sucks, but it isn't bad going through the Google Home app. For the price point it should have better video quality.

Posted .Hi Boonis, we appreciate you for letting us know the details of your feedback with the Nest Cam (Battery), and we’re sorry that it’s a disappointment for you.
You can adjust the video quality in 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.
Also, besides using a power cable or floodlight, the new Nest Cam (Battery) also has an ecosystem of accessories that allow users to put it on a table top surface, power it with PoE, or hook it to a solar panel.
We’ll make sure to share your feedback along with the right team to work on improving our products and services. Meanwhile, we’d like to learn more about how we can provide a better experience for you, and if you’re willing to get in touch with us, feel free to find us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Beautiful and solid quality
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s part of the Google Home ecosystem. Not Nest even though it says Nest. I knew this going into it and it doesn’t bother me. I prefer it since Nest will eventually get fully integrated into Google. My only downside was being able to hide the wires for the cam. I wanted to feed the cable through the base but it doesn’t let you because the power plug is under the cam. The magnet is strong and the battery life is okay. I plug it in right out of the box and it lasted me 2 weeks with default settings. Instead I purchased the charger cable and just have it plugged in all the time.

Reliable as usual!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Probably one of the most reliable cameras I've purchased. This was an addition to an existing nest system, and it impressed as usual! Pairing with a solar panel is also the perfect combo!

Good camera, installation was very easy.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well contructed and easy to install and set up. I ended up purchasing the outdoor extension plug so I have it recording 24/7 but that made installation only slightly more difficult. If you were just running on battery then installation would be even easier.

Easy to install, but things do downhill from there
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this today. I was really attracted to the battery option as getting wires to an outdoor camera would be a challenge. I already have a Nest doorbell and two Nest thermostats, so going with this seemed like a no-brainer. Not so fast. It’s starting to be very clear that there were once Google Home products and, from a separate company, Nest products. Google Home bought Nest and the result is messy. It feels like the Google Home team won the internal battles. While the Nest name lives on, the Google Home team don’t much care about the Nest legacy and there is a jarring disconnect between the two product lines. So let’s just say that Nest (1st Gen) is an orphan now and Google Nest is simply a rebrand of Google Home. That seems to be the easiest explanation. Oh, and the battery was at 89% when I setup the camera. It’s now 6 hours later and I’m down to 62%. I live on a quiet cul-de-sac and there has only been one recorded event all evening — actually, I couldn’t see anything in a video it recorded, so even that was a false positive. I’m worried the battery is going to be for naught. On the positive, it was an easy install

Posted .Hi Grant, thanks for trying out Nest Cam (Battery). We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with the changes for the new products, and for the short battery life you are experiencing.
Battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. Users can extend the battery life of their 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)
If none of the highlighted factors seem to be affecting the short battery life, we recommend reaching out to our support team for further assistance by visiting us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Great if you do t need 24/7 surveillance
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Video quality is good, sound quality is good biggest issue is that you. can’t get 24/7 surveillance with these even if you run cords to keep them plugged in.

Easy everything
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These cameras were easy to install and easy to set up with our Google Hub. These are not hardwired so we separately purchased solar panels specifically for these cameras and they are great. The picture is clear and the microphone/speakers are sharp.

Great Camera's
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use these camera's inside and they work great. I have others outside and they work well, also. The cord is a bit of an eyesore, but I want to make sure they are always working. They caught our neighbor's construction worker backing into our mailbox. They couldn't deny it because we had evidence. Very easy to set up and I can watch from my iPhone.

Great cameras
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have four of these outside the house set to record motion at night or when we leave the house. Great for peace of mind, fun to get animal activity and convenient to make sure the horses are still standing when we’re away. The app is pretty easy to use and simple install as well. Batteries last for months at a time - although if you live in a northern climate like us, they may turn off to conserve battery on cold nights. Unless you subscribe to a service from Google, it only saves recordings for a few hours. If you hope to watch any recorded animal activity when you wake up in the morning or have any security evidence if something happens, be prepared to spend a few extra bucks per month. Could have given you 8 hrs for free - 3 hrs feels like they’re heavily steering you to the subscription.
