Good camera so far
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unlike reviews i see here, i have no problem with this camera. - After 3 days batteries only went down 2%. - I was already using Google home, adding the camera was no problem. - Only 1 cable for 2 camera. That's true, but since i am not charging the camera very often i can do 1 camera at a time without problem - No problem with video quality, i can clearly see what's happening in my house. So so far very happy with purchase, next is Nest doorbell.

Posted .Hello BostonVaughn, thanks for leaving feedback on the Nest Cam (battery). We hear you, and we understand that having to charge the camera more often than you should could be an inconvenience.
The 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.

Google-Nest Can 2-pack
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The camera quality is great. I think neat products and services are converting completely over to Google so the neat app doesn’t support all of their products. Happy with the cameras and doorbell we have.

Excellent camera, high quality video!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was extremely easy to install and get online with my Nest doorbell. Very sharp video quality, and wide angle. Highly recommended! I looked at several other options, but decided to stick with Google, since they would both be accessible on one app. I’m very happy with how it works, quality and the low cost of cloud storage of videos.

All the negative reviews are true.
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had this camera less than a year. It started going bad in the winter time. Also, the temperature doesn’t even get that cold where I live, around the 40s. Google claims that this will charge even at 32 degrees, this is patently false. There’s a fatal flaw in the design that even when it’s plugged in, it relied on the battery to give it power. However, if it’s too cold, the battery will drain in less than 24 hours and then it won’t charge. Again, this will happen even if the temperature is above 32 degrees. This is also my second camera that has had the same issue. Save yourself the headache and stay away from this camera. It will be great the first couple of months, and then it will literally die on you. It’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when.

Posted .Hi there AaronW, thanks for sharing the details of your experience with Nest Cam (Battery). It's unfortunate to hear that you experienced shorter battery life for Nest Cam (Battery) while using it during the colder temperatures of winter, and we apologize for any disappointment you may be having with it.
Battery charge time for Nest cameras depends on several factors, including ambient temperature and the state and condition of the battery. Keep in mind that the battery won't charge at temperatures below 32°F (0°C), and will only charge slowly at temperatures close to freezing.
For any other support needs or questions you may still have, our support team would be happy to entertain them. Please consider reaching out to our support team here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
Great camera for your home
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the 2 cameras as open box in excellent condition. I may be biased but this is the best camera out there. I got the wired so I could have 24/7 recording (w/ nest plus for a cost but so worth it) granted going to google home is little more cumbersome that the best app but overall I will recommend this to anyone looking for cameras to monitor their property.

Posted .Hey there, JROCK. Thanks for the feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the Nest Cam (battery). We’ll share your feedback with the right team to work on improving our products.
Meanwhile, regardless of how many phones you want to use, for as long as you’re signed in to your Google Home app, all your phones can access, view, and control your Google Nest products. On the other hand, you can add or invite the people you trust to become home members and share access to your home. Each person (maximum of 6) will be able to sign in with their own account and use the Home app on their phone to view and use the Google Nest products in your home. Remind them also to sign up for 2-step verification. Do not share your personal credentials with anyone, even family members. Sharing an account email and password is not only unsecure, it can cause your Google Nest products to not switch their behavior as normally expected. Depending on the level of shared access you choose, people you invite can add, remove, and control products in the Home app. Learn more using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9155535
You’ll receive notifications as long as your phones are signed in to the app. You can choose to receive notifications for everything your camera detects, or choose notifications for only certain types of activity. If you’ve turned on critical alerts, you should receive some push notifications even when your phone is set to Do Not Disturb. You can create Activity Zones to cover areas in your camera’s view that you care about, and choose the type of motion you want to be notified of for each zone.

Excellent sound and video quality, simple instal
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was skeptical about this version of the Next Cam because of the battery. But when paired with a regular power adapter or with a solar panel this is an awesome device for basic home security. The sound quality and video feed are both top notch

Skip this one....
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really wanted to like this camera. But it just does not do the job. I have a pool being built, below a deck, and I really wanted a camera that would pick up anyone on the stairs of the deck, or anywhere around/in the pool. It works great on the deck and stairs, but if I walk around the pool or anywhere to the right, it does not pick up motion at all. I understand it's directed to be placed 6.5 feet from the ground, but I would still expect this to pick up motion from higher and farther. Ultimately, I was hoping to use this in place of Blink cameras, to keep everything in one app, but the cheaper Blink cameras far outperform this. They pick up so much more motion - motion anywhere in camera view - while this simply does not. So this is getting returned. For the price, I expected much better performance.

Posted .Hi Walter, thanks for sharing your feedback about your experience with the Nest Cam (battery), and we’re sorry to learn that it didn’t meet your expectations.
Your camera runs algorithms to process video and audio data so it can determine whether it detected something you might want to know about. To detect anything besides a person, animal or moving vehicle, the camera checks for general motion in the scene. It learns what’s normally in its background view and looks for movement and changes. As a result, it can sometimes trigger not just for important things, but also for minor things like tree branches that sway in the wind. If you only need your camera to detect people, animals or moving vehicles, it's recommended that you don't turn on this feature.
Also, Activity zones can help determine when your camera records something. If you set up Activity zones, your camera only records in the zones that you’ve enabled. This allows you to ignore busy or unimportant areas of your scene. If your camera detects that even a small part of a notable object is in an Activity zone, your camera should record it.
We hope you’ll consider using the Nest camera, and if you’re willing to give us an opportunity to help improve your experience, please contact us anytime here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Happy customer!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely satisfied. Very well built and excellent video quality for what it is. I have no issues with it working on the google home app and not nest. The link up speed is far better than my ring battery it replaced. Looking forward to the flood light when it comes out.
