    Easy to install. Battery holds up well. Needs a $6 per month plan to utilise the full power of features available. But the free plan is good enough for basic monitoring. Paid plan is recommended though, since video footage retention on the free plan isn't long enough to make it useful

    We use this to view outdoor life from our backyard patio when we are inside. Recently, we witnessed four baby birds being devoured by a snake from a nest that a bird had made in a metal bucket on our shelf. The video of it was very vivid, maybe too vivid. But as far as the camera, the clarity is precise.

    I hesitated on purchasing because it’s battery operated. Glad I picked it up. Video quality is very good, and the battery last almost 2 weeks! There is long power cord you can purchase seperately or a solar charger to attach if you are worried about battery life.

      Hi bananana, thanks for sharing your feedback. It's great to hear that Nest Cam (Battery) works well for you. However, we do apologize for any difficulty you may be having in trying to wake it up.

      Activities are detected by motion detection on Nest Cam (Battery), and can be affected by changes in the light level, and shadows moving across the frame like when a cloud moves in front of the sun. This also includes other movements within the camera's field of view like trees or bushes swaying. If you're not getting any alerts or notifications, we recommend trying out the steps below:
      1. Change the Activity Zones on your camera. You can delete your existing Activity Zone and create a new one in any area within your camera's field of view. Just make sure that none of the zones you create overlap.
      2. Change the angle of your camera and account for the lighting in the surrounding area.
      3. Restart your Camera.

      We'd like to help you troubleshoot the issue further with your Nest Cam (Battery). If you´re willing to try, please contact our support team so we can provide further assistance using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    I have one other, both work great. Only complaint is they are easy to steal and you need to buy extra parts to secure it. Only other thing is having to pay for a subscription, I don't mind paying but $8 a month is a little high when you can get others for free.
