Solid hardware, but...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These cameras have the Nest name, but the issue is that they are transitioning to the Google brand. The hardware itself is solid. Once the mounts are in place, the magnets make a TIGHT connnection. But a few problems: 1) You don't get 24/7 live feed unless you buy a $35 power cord. (You can turn it on any time that you like, but that drains the battery.) 2) It's very easy for you to take down (if you need a recharge), but that means that ANYONE can also take it down. You need to buy a $15 security system to keep it secure. 3) If you have other nest cameras, you'll have gotten used to the Nest App. Unfortunately, these do not work with the Nest App. You need to use the Google Home App. The Home App is OK, but the Nest App was better.

Great Cameras
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These cameras are great! I own about 6 of them. The picture is super clear and the mic can pick up sounds or talking from a good distance. The magnetic mount offers the ability to position perfectly.

Great quality camera

Could be better
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The battery life isn't long enough. It lasted for less than two weeks. Other than the battery life, the camera is really nice. The video quality is great! Easy to connect with Google home. The magnet is surprisingly strong.

Posted .Hi TiffanyB, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you like the Nest Cam (Battery), and we do apologize if you’re having issues with its battery.
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)
If you´re willing to try, 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 Nest Cam (Battery) and understand what may be causing it. You may contact our support team for further assistance here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Nest Cam 2 from Google.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Google Nest Cams are so easy to set up and integrate into Google Home, but do not let them totally discharge. They can be very slow to fully charge!
I would recommend this to a friend Good Camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Quality camera. The battery last quite long and you can purchase a plug or solar power panel to keep it charged. I don’t care for the Home app. I prefer the older Nest platform.

Nest Cam Cameras
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The cameras went up easy and working on my phone just fine. There were no instructions on how long to charge them. I had to go on line and look it up. Also the instructions in the package were printed in grey in 6/7 point type. VERY DIFFICULT TO READ. I had to take pictures and blow them up on my phone. Those marketing people think they are so clever, but they are not realistic.

Posted .Hi there, AppleD. Thanks for sharing a review on Nest Cam (Battery). It's great that you had an easy time installing it. However, we're sorry to hear that you're having a difficult experience pairing it with other Nest cameras.
Here are some steps you can try out that may be helpful with the issue:
- Ensure that all your devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
- Check for possible congestion in your network. You can verify this by disconnecting some of the devices that are connected to your network. You may then check if you will be able to see all your Nest cameras on the Home app.
- Check for possible sources of interference. The thick walls and the different appliances in your home may affect the Wi-Fi signal between your devices and router. Ensuring that there are no sources of signal interference will help improve the signal strength for your Nest cameras.
- If you're using the Nest app to manage your older Nest cameras, you may have the option to set them up on the Google Home app. Check out this help article to learn more: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9893532
We'd be happy to assist you with any other concerns you have on your Google Nest cameras. You may reach out to our support team using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
