    Quality camera and super easy to set up and use. I have them set up with a solar panel so I never have to worry about charging them. Fantastic option

    I have both blink and google cams in my house. One of my cameras loses connection pretty frequently, I'd say that blink is more reliable in that area. This would be a great camera if they were a little easier to update wifi. I like to change my wifi password every once in a while. Today, I bought a new mesh network, and I had to grab ladders and pull each device down, factory reset, then reconnect them. It's such a time suck, I'm not entirely sure why it can't be done without that. With blink, you just update the base and all devices connected to it work. I like the rest of the features, and it works most of the time.

    Bought this to keep an eye on my dog in the back yard, picture is amazingly clear and boots right up the minute I hit the on button, Stands up to all the cold and snow and no issues. The wide angle lens covers just about my whole yard. What I like about it best is the camera is not fixed, and can be turned and twisted into just any position you might need. Too many other cameras are in a fixed position and cannot be adjusted,

    This cameras have some of the best video footage I've ever seen. We have a very active household and the cameras are set up for motion detection. Even still, the battery lasts around 15 to 20 days even though they are constantly turning on with all the commotion in our home. They take about 5 hours to charge so it's pretty easy to charge both cameras. The magnet on these cameras is extremely strong. They aren't going to move, slip, slide, or anything. These cameras are top quality.

    This is my second camera that was recently added to my collection and its been great to us. I have it linked with Google Home and utilized the outdoor weather cable. I did notice an extra item the previous model did not have. The cable lock was a great addition and will be used well. Setup and placement of this product was very easy with minimal issues connecting to my network. I currently use Nest aware and like the options offered to me. I do wish we have an upgrade to 4k in the near future.

    Terrible Battery Life and Charging Time

    This was my first time taking a chance on the wire free version of the camera. Only a year and a half in and it won't hold a charge more than a few days and it takes forever to charge. It is not in a high traffic area where it's triggered to record constantly, so the battery should hold up better especially for the cost.

      Hi there, JasonJ. Sorry to see the Nest Cam (Battery) wasn’t quite what you were looking for. There are a number of things that can impact battery drain like activity, temperature, and selected camera settings. Here’s also a few tips to conserve more battery:

      1. Change the video quality.
      2. Adjust how much activity your camera records.
      3. Shorten the maximum event length.

    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.

      Hi Nick, thanks for sharing your insights with us. We're sorry to hear that the camera for Nest Cam (Battery) didn't impress you. 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. 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)

      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 device and understand what may be causing it.

    I love it because it has a nice wide view. At first the battery lasted about 3 months but the more it videos it makes the battery run down faster like 6 weeks.
