    Best outdoor camera, but not your cheapest option

    This camera really is the easiest and most compatible option on the market. Installation is a breeze, you can plug it in for uninterrupted use and reserve the battery if there's a power outage. Yes, it costs more but you get what you pay for. If you're simply looking for the cheapest option, this is not it. If you want the best option, this is it... in my opinion.

    ONLY 1 Charger & Cable

    I would have given this a 5 star rating, but I bought the 2 pack and it only came with 1 cube and 1 charging cable. How is this a 2 pack with only 1 plug? If I would have purchased them seperately, they each would have had a plug. Am I supposed to climb a ladder everytime the battery gets low and swap the plugs? I would not reccomend this bundle. I would purchase the cameras seperately so you have all parts. On the other hand, I do love the cameras and they are excellent quality.

    I bout this camera for use in my backyard. DIdnt have any nearby wiring and didnt want to have to keep charging it, so I got the solar panel which best buy also sells. Works great! Have had the camera out there for a few months and havent had to charge it once. And my kids are out there setting it off all the time

      Good day, DGK50! We’re glad that your Nest Cam (battery) works well! We hear your concern about viewing your camera video using the Home app. We suggest having the latest version of Google Home app that can improve camera playback controls to make it easier to play, pause, and navigate between events from the camera history view. Also, checking for device updates can provide the latest features and keep the devices secure, and are applied across the operating system, browser, and hardware. These updates depend on many device specific non-Google hardware and software providers that work with Google to have the highest level of security and stability support.

      If you need immediate assistance, feel free to contact us through our support channels found here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Works as it should I have the power cord attached all the time so I have constant recording , cause if you don’t plug in the power cable you only get clips when something happens, time will tell how the camera holds up outside picture quality is ok, could be better , wish it would track movement and zoom in by its self

    For the Price of Two You Actually Get Less!

    2 pack includes a bit of extra mounting hardware no one really needs (short security cables that aren't really secure?) and gimps you out of a whole wall charger and charging cable — despite being a 2 pack it only comes with 1 charger and 1 cable for both cameras but costs exactly the same as two individual kits that would each include a wall charger and its cable. In short, don't get gimped. Only buy the single camera kits.

    Great cameras. Good for inside or outside. Outside ones last me about two weeks if not more. Inside ones about a weekd. I have mine recording all the time. These cameras will not consistently record unless they are connected to a wall outlet.

    It is nearly impossible to hook up more than 1 camera. Battery and camera is all in one not separable. You can not mount them very high and keep the quality. Google has only agreed to support them for 5 years. I took mine back and bought Arlo instead. 10 x better. Has solar charger, better zoom, easier set up, spitlight, cheaper and they give you an extra battery. It will not work on same app with nest door bell.
