Easy to Install, Drains Battery Quickly
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased 3 of these cameras to use outside my house. Overall the quality of the video is great, but the Google Home app takes too long to load and view. Also the camera on my front door drains rapidly so I will have to hardwire the camera.

Posted .Hi Rich, thanks for choosing our Google Nest products, and we're glad to hear that you found Nest Cam (Battery) great. We do apologize for the long loading time of the Google Home app, and for the battery drain issues you are experiencing.
The long loading time using the Google Home app for your Nest Cam (Battery) may be caused by a possible congestion of your network. We recommend removing some of your connected devices to free up some bandwidth space, and checking to see if you will still experience the same long loading times when streaming the video feed from your Nest camera. Once you verify congestion, we recommend contacting your Internet service provider to check your connection and upgrade your bandwidth if needed.
Hardwiring your Nest Cam (Battery) is a great idea to avoid battery drain issues. However, it's important to check the frequency of events (per day) that you get with your Nest Cam (Battery). 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 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 examine what may be causing it. You may contact our support team for further assistance by visiting us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Battery life
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.video is good quality but it needs to be recharged far more often than I thought. Having to get a ladder out every two weeks is not what I bargained for.

Posted .Hi there, JamesB. Thanks for posting a review about the Nest Cam (battery). We’re sorry to hear that your experience is less than ideal. We understand that having to climb up a ladder to charge the camera every two weeks can be an inconvenience for you.
We suggest adjusting the camera settings like the video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, or to use activity zones to monitor specific areas that can extend the battery life of your camera. Check this link for more tips: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10901611
You might want to consider connecting your camera to a power outlet with the included power adapter for continuous power and to keep the battery charged. Please note that the power adapter included with the Nest Cam (battery) is not weatherproof and not intended for outdoor use, and we suggest using a compatible weatherproof cable (sold separately).
We can help you check for other reasons why the camera is behaving differently. Please contact us anytime for assistance here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Very good video camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I already have a Nest IQ Outdoor camera which uses the Nest app. This camera requires the Google Home app. I know people are not happy with the Google Home app, but I will say everything is there that you get with the Nest app, it's just laid out differently. The new camera actually notifies us faster than the IQ Outdoor camera. Its so fast that if you click on the notification right when you get it the event video hasn't finished processing yet. I have my camera on a power source because I want the 24/7 video storage along with the events. Google offers the best price point for this feature at $12 per month for unlimited devices. All other solutions I looked at cost you $20 or more per month. Video quality between both of my camera's are the same which is very good day and night. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Good but could be better
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camera is pretty good. It has quality video and audio. Battery life is ok. Definitely invest in the powercord so you don't have worry about charging the camera. I wish it had continuous recording. It doesn't record when I am viewing live video. Hopefully google updates this soon.
