Devices work well but have drawbacks
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been using for about a few weeks now and so far they work well. FWIW, I've got them connected to my Google Home Wi-Fi mesh system. I had hoped the cameras would be able to view scenery in the distance, but the contrast between the nearby surroundings and distant scenery prevents that (with the distant objects mostly whited out). The motion detection and alerts work well. The batteries so far have lasted as advertised. The downsides to this solution: - The units are white and stick out like crazy - wish they made it in black. I've ordered a dark brown cover to see if that obscures one device I have mounted in a tree. - You have to use the Google Home app to view video...there's no technical reason Google can't open that up to view in the browser. That's a poor user experience and doesn't delight the customer.

Posted .Hi TSF1, thanks for the feedback you provided, and we’re glad that the Nest Cam (battery) works well for you. We understand that longtime Nest users enjoy viewing their Nest camera feeds from the Nest app or web app (browser). However, our priority with this launch was building a complete experience for our new cameras and doorbell in the Google Home app, and to make the Google Home app as the one place you can control all your favorite Nest and other smart home devices with the Google Assistant. Our long term plan is to use the Google Home app as the one place you can control all of your favorite Nest and other smart home devices, as well as Google Assistant.
Also, the new Nest Cam is designed with a built-in rechargeable battery so that it's flexible to use with or without a wired power connection. It supports 2 major features that drive the size of the product: on-device computer vision with high performance and continuous video recording when plugged into power.
Having different color options is a great idea. Feedback like this helps us identify what areas we need to work on, and we’ll share this with the right team for future improvements. And if ever help is needed, we have services and assistance available for your support needs here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Not disappointed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The camera was discounted to $120 so I jumped on it. Had been wanting one for my back yard. The video is very sharp and the notifications are quick. View angle is more than adequate. I'm not disappointed. I already had the nest aware subscription with my doorbell so being able to check video history may some day come in handy.

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

Cameras were a great buy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Picked up 4 of these cameras. I used an already installed magnetic base so installation was simple. Connecting my ipad to the cameras was also simple. Battery life has been great. They’ve been operating for about a month and they all show as still full. So far just perfect. The picture is exceptionally clear when I check-in online from out of country. I’d say these cameras were a great choice thus far.

Battery Life Stinks
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am super disappointed in the battery life. I am pushing to get 4 weeks but most times it doesn’t last. Reviews say average battery last 6 weeks up to 3 months. In my opinion that is totally bogus unless you want a worthless camera that is in such low quality it couldn’t discern any valuable features if needed. I am shocked they no longer offer the outdoor wires option. Google obviously isn’t proud of their battery as you can barely find any discussion on their site.
