I wouldn't recommend it
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this assuming it would work with my Nest phone app. Unfortunately the new cameras only work with Google's app which is terrible quite frankly. also, if the camera is not plugged into a power source (running on battery) it will not save motion events for more than 3 hours which isn't very helpful. If I had it to do over again I would have went with something else, which is sad as Nest was a great product.

ONLY 1 Charger & Cable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .Hi there, Yogi. Thanks for sharing your feedback on Nest Cam (battery), and we hear your concerns about its battery life. Since your camera is detecting a lot of activities, you can extend the battery life by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas. This link might be helpful: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10901611
Also, you can plug your camera to a power outlet with the included power adapter for continuous power. However, the included power adapter is not weatherproof and not intended for outdoor use. We suggest using a compatible weatherproof cable (sold separately). Contact your retailer for inquiries.
If you think that the battery life is lower than expected, we can help you check for reasons why and you can visit us anytime here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Replaced old Nest Cam
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Camera was easy to install and the new cord is so much better then the old cam with the USB to power converter. I love how it has the battery so if it's plugged in and you loose power it may still work providing your internet is still up.
I would recommend this to a friend - Cons mentioned:Connectivity
Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these cameras for home security and they are great! There can be some connectivity issues if you have a larger home and do not have wifi boosters.

Good but expensive
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good cameras but subscription prices are high for nest aware
No, I would not recommend this to a friend On sale good value.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Would be nice to have 2k and not have to pay a monthly fee for services that could be done local, but overall these cameras are worth it. Even better when you can find an open box. Getting outta date and would be nice if they had used USB C instead of a proprietary charging connector.

Awesome
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The battery life on these is amazing to say the least. Battery lasts longer than my ring doorbell by a long shot and quality is great
I would recommend this to a friend For the Price of Two You Actually Get Less!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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

Not the best deal for sure
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
