Great Indoor/Outdoor camera

Nest cam outdoor battery
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A good product, but I wish Google had not purchased Nest. Setup was very easy and straightforward but the new devices can only be viewed in the Google home app and not in the nest app which is a disappointment. Quality is as expected though.

Google Camera
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The camera is has good picture quality, is clear at night as well. No connection issues whatsoever so far, works as it should. Only Cons are, battery life doesnt last more than a month is you have it placed in a high foot traffic area. And mine did not come with the safety wire to attach the camera to the base. Other than that i recommend google home products to everyone. If they could lower the price on these cameras they would be more popular.

Posted .Hi CDemay, thanks for leaving feedback about the Nest Cam (battery), and we’re sorry to hear your package came with missing secure loop, and that the battery life is below your expectations.
Nest has long been focused on delivering quality products to our customers. We’re also focused on giving our customers value for the price, including three hours of event history right out of the box for the first time ever. On-device processing also gives our customers smart alerts and Activity Zones, which historically have required a subscription.
Meanwhile, the battery life depends 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. Check this link for more details: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10901611
If you still have to charge the battery more often than you’d like, you might want to consider connecting your camera to a power outlet with the included or optional power adapter. Connecting to continuous power will 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 you can use a compatible weatherproof cable (sold separately).
For issues about your order, like if your device came damaged or with missing pieces, we encourage you to contact your retailer to return or replace your device. And if you ran into any concerns around the functionality and performance of the camera, you’re more than welcome to contact us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
good and robust

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought my fair share or outdoor cameras. The nest camera doesn’t miss anything. Great video quality. Plan on buying another!
I would recommend this to a friendGreat Camera but horrible app expierence
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I do like this camera for having the battery option as this is mounted outside the house. Overall the camera is great, I just don't like the fact that Google has made a mess with the old Nest App and Google Home. They need to make up their minds on integrating all cameras be it from Nest or Google. It's a pain switching from Nest app and Google home. If you have older camera's, Google messed up on this integration for now and this was back in 8/24/2021 when I bought this and it is still a mess now.

Nest Battery Camera
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cameras were easy to setup and install. Still determining how long the batteries will last. The cameras seem to be very well made, are heavy and the magnet very strong.

Easy install
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I installed these and have been using for about a month. I havent had to charge them yet so batteries last a good amount of time of normal use. Mount low and dont expect for it to start recording or detect motion if its further then 50 feet away

Disappointing Product, Not Worth The Price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While I've been a longtime Nest user and have always been satisfied with the product line, this is a dud. Not integrating with the Nest App feels like a big miss (the Google Home UI is poor), the resolution quality is incredibly grainy and pixelated relative to the competition and the connectivity is always very touchy (while all other nest devices on the same network are bulletproof). On top of that is a price point that's nearly 3X the competition, while delivering a sub-par product. Not sure where Google lost their way here, this one is a disapointment.

Posted .Hi Mark, thanks for sharing your experience with us. We´re sorry to hear of your disappointment with the Google Home app, poor resolution and connectivity issue with your Nest Cam (Battery).
Our goal is to make the Google Home app the one place where you can control all your favorite Nest devices and other smart home devices with the Google Assistant. Here are some benefits you can get by using the Google Home app with your Nest Cam (Battery):
- Automatic security protections such as Suspicious activity detection, 2-Step Verification and Security Checkup.
- Your Google Nest devices and services will work together. For example, if you have a Nest Cam and a Nest Hub, just say, """"Hey Google, show me the backyard camera” to cast your camera stream to your display without any additional setup.
- One account to sign into both the Nest and Google Home apps.
- Your homes and home members will be aligned across the Nest and Google Home apps.
Here are some recommended steps below that you can try out to see if it might be helpful with the connectivity issue:
- Check your Wi-Fi network for possible congestion. Relieving some of your connected devices may help free up some bandwidth space.
- Check the distance between Nest Cam (Battery) and your router. Ensure that it's within a line of sight from your router.
- Check for wireless interference with other Wi-Fi hotspots or appliances and devices nearby.
We believe that Pixel count is only one factor that impacts video quality, and it shouldn’t be the only deciding factor when choosing a camera. Nest Cam (Battery) has HDR video quality that’s optimized to save battery, while giving you a clear view in bright sun or dark. For any other concerns you may have about Nest Cam (Battery), you´re always welcome to contact our support team using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
