Battery life is very poor
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The picture is very clear but the battery life does not last. I purchased mine on 10/30/2021 and had them put up on November 7, 2021. Now just a month and a half later I have had to pull them down and charge them twice. That is very inconvenient for me and it was my thought that they would last 6 months. When you fully charge them it tells you they have 18 months of battery life. My doorbell camera was purchased at this same time and installed the same day, it too has to be recharged every two weeks. Very disappointed after spending $400+ on cameras.

I would recommend this to a friend Finally Up and Running!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just had these cameras installed 3 weeks ago. So far, so good. The installation was a nightmare because I chose to connect to power, and the technician would not go into my attic where the power was. He installed on battery power only. After having an electrician connect the cameras my attic, I finally got everything hooked up and working. I had to pay for it myself to be connected (128.00 per camera). The cameras work pretty well. The app is good also and of course requires a subscription. Overall I am pleased with my cameras, especially now that I won't have to charge the battery.

Great Image Quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The image quality is great but the sensitivity level could be enhanced. I have the sensitivity level on the highest setting on both cameras but it doesn’t pick up all of the activity.

Posted .Hello there, AmyW. We’re glad that you like the image quality of the Nest Cam (battery), and we’re sorry to hear that your experience with activity detection is below your satisfaction.
We suggest checking your camera settings as event detection depends on settings that you select. You can choose which events your camera can detect and record (people, motion, package, etc.). From there, you (and each member of your home) can decide which of those events to get notifications for. If an event is turned off, you won’t get notifications for that kind of activity. You can also change the settings like adjusting video quality, wake-up sensitivity, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas.
You may also need to check for any range issue or wireless interference that can affect the overall performance of your camera. Sometimes the camera may pass the connection test during setup, but will struggle to stay connected if it’s just a bit too far away from your router. You may also check for objects such as mirrors and refrigerators between the camera and your router as these items could block the connection.

Great cameras
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great cameras and easy to setup and use. Only thing I wish is that you could subscribe for 24/7 history with the wireless cameras. It will only work when the cameras are powered with cord.
I would recommend this to a friend Cannot create clips
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The camera itself is nice and built well, not as well built as the older IQ cameras. When plugged in there is an exposed wire where the IQ hid the wire. The real issue lies in the program the video can be viewed from. This camera only operates on the Home App, not the Nest App. Meaning you cannot view on a computer, you cannot create clips, you can't view all of your nest products on one app. Meaning you get notifications now from two apps and need to flip from one to another. I own two of these cameras as well as several of the older generation cameras. There have been two instances that I needed a recording but because you can only download events and not create a clip I was able to only download before and after what happened not during. Very disappointing that Google would go away from this Even with the Nest Aware subscription, you are not able to create a clip. This is something I did not find out until after I purchased the cameras and installed them (wired). Even though it was advertised at the store that you could crate clips with the subscription.

Decent for a rental property
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m not as impressed with this camera system. I do like the face reginition feature, but when you’re using a wireless setup I feel there is really nothing stopping someone from stealing the camera. Not sure what they’d do with it if stolen, but would be nice to have some kind of safety mechanism to prevent it from being removed. Batter life is pretty good and doesn’t require me to recharge the battery every week. It says it lasts over 6months on a charge. So far, I’ve charged it once completely and it’s at 90% on one camera and 40% on the other. The reality is the battery life depends on how often a camera is triggered. I have the Ring at my main property and Google at the rental. I like Ring’s interface over Google.

We understand your concern with the security for your Nest Cam (Battery). For this reason, we have a security cable or Anti-Theft Mount available for Nest Cam (Battery). We recommend contacting BestBuy for more information on availability of this accessory.
Battery life for Nest Cam (Battery) 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.
