Customer Ratings & Reviews

Today there are a large variety of security cameras available on the market and it is nice to finally see Google refreshing their cameras to be more on par with their competitors. I definitely feel this refresh puts this camera in line with competitors. Firstly, the aesthetics are a major part of any security camera as it is something visible to everyone. With the nest camera I feel that Google really gave the product more of a modern look. It is not all about the look though as the mounting was extremely easy and the magnetic base is so much nicer than having to mess with screws every time the camera needs charged. The actual function is the other major component where it is not all positive unfortunately. I personally do like how the camera utilizes the Google home app as I am someone entrenched in the Google ecosystem so having the separate nest app has always been a pain. Then when it comes to the actual video quality it is exactly what you would expect from a 1080p camera to which I would rather have the decreased resolution as opposed to having to charge the battery every month if it were 4K quality. The microphone was exceptional though as I was pleasantly surprised with how clear it picked up sounds. As mentioned, the live feed within the app worked perfect along with the video detection. However, the one item that does come across as a negative for me is only 3 hours of previously saved video as I understand Google is attempting you get you to upgrade to a higher subscription, but 3 hours is not even enough to make it through the night. Overall, this is a great product as the asthetics are top notch with the magnetic mount being an exceptional feature and the usability of the app along with the video and microphone quality being wonderful. However, it seems we will have to continue to wait for the perfect security camera as I just can’t give this product five stars with the high price of the initial product that essentially requires an additional monthly subscription to make it fully achieve its intended purpose. Even if the saved playback was just 12 hours for the free subscription I would not hesitate to recommend this product to everyone, but as it currently sits I would still recommend it to the vast majority of people with the caveat of possibly needing to purchase the nest subscription to which this is the case with basically every security camera today unfortunately.

It a good camera. Not as good as the old nest cameras but still decent for most people. The only downside is you have to use the god awful atrocious Google Home app. Get a bridge to use the Home app.

Easy to install, easy to setup, fast connect clean vision.

Super impressed with the quality of these cameras. I’ve built a great Google Nest and home system. So easy to install. I saw other camera security systems that would have been a nightmare to install with wires and cords all over the place. Google Nest was a great buy, especially since they were on sale.

Good camera overall. I would expect better video quality in 2021 for this price. Battery life is too short as well. In the end I bought 3 and need them so worth it.

Great for the backyard or garage, notifies you when there is movement. Detects sounds and lights. Has built-in speaker to talk with people.

These cameras are very nice and easy to install. Picture quality is very good.

Great device!Very easy to use! Set up was a breeze.

Product works very good with hot spot device and the magnet is stronger than I expected. Overall it was a good buy and the price was fair.

Easy to install and works great. Picture is clear.

I felt bad about my neighbors vehicles. They were set ablaze by some local hoodlums. I wanted to make sure my cars had some protection. So I immediately went to best buy and bought this system. Now its both a great deterrent and protector for my vehicles. Great quality video and has two way talk feature.

I wanted to love these SO SO badly. We need more legit battery-operated cameras in the market. We are a Google Home home, and have lots of Google products that we love and use every day, but it's as if these were released incomplete. They are crazy heavy, the battery is terrible, and we had such poor interference with our ceiling-mounted LED lights, that the video would be nearly obscured with black stripes. We went through Google to get replacements, which we'll try out, but are not hopeful.

Works excellent. Has good lighting. I would recommend

Works as advertised! Simple to install and quality is superior

Great outdoor cameras. Added peace of mind and security.

Setting up the camera was a breeze with the Home app. Installation was was easy, but i ordered the power cable since i dont want any downtime charging the camera. The video and audio is very good, with facial recognition being a nice bunny's when you opt to pay for a subscription. The only con is having to buy the power cable separate and this will be the only way to have always on 24/7 monitoring.

Very impressed with these cameras. They last a long time on battery power. My plan though is to have them plugged in in case I lose power then they're on battery power. Picture is great. You can zoom in to a certain extent

Highly recommend. i can watch in front of my house and feel safe. Also see packages

Both are excellent and work as described. Good quality picture and easy to set up.

Bought this pair of Google Nest cameras for my front and back yard, pretty good video quality but sometimes it's recognizes wrong person. I hope Google to improve Face detection feature.
