Posted .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
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.

Clear view
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Unimpressed with quality and features
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Quality is mediocre. You cannot use these cameras in the nest app and you cannot use nest aware with these to extend 24/7 recording past 10 days. These cameras are also larger than a baseball so not very attractive. If you use the Google app to see these cameras, you cannot see camera history from existing nest cameras. You'll have to switch back and forth between nest and Google home app. The biggest disappointment is the quality. The black indoor camera appears better during the day and at night by far. The only difference is the battery and internal storage.

Posted .Hi Jzd5032, thanks for posting a review to let us know your experience with the Nest Cam (Battery). We’re sorry to hear that you’re having issues with the quality and functionality of the Nest camera.
The new Nest cameras and doorbells are exclusive to the Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience. Users with older cameras can view their camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new Nest Doorbell and Nest Cams. Our team is working on bringing full functionality to the Google Home app so all of your cameras can be set up and controlled in one place. And with Nest Aware Plus, you’ll get 60 days and 10 days of 24/7 video history if you choose to connect your Nest Cam (battery) to a power cable. It also supports 2 major features that drive the size of the product: on-device computer vision with high compute or performance and continuous video recording when plugged into power.
Also, you can adjust the video quality in settings to balance high resolution video with longer battery life and lower bandwidth use. For optimal video quality at 1080p, an internet connection upload speed with at least 2 Mbps per camera is recommended (DSL may not qualify). Please see the steps below:
- Open the Home app Google Home app.
- Select your camera.
- Tap Settings Video.
- Under “Video quality,” tap High.

Google security products keep getting better

Love google to the moon and back. Im especially happy I invested in google stock months ago because i knew as time mived on, the true value of the comoany would shine and it is doing exactly that.

Good battery. Features work as expected.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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

Great Cameras
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Nice hardware let down by awful software
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After experimenting extensively with all the other major cam brands (Arlo, Ring) and some smaller ones too (Kasa), I really wanted this to be the one. Sadly though, it is some nice hardware let down by terrible software. You can read about all the nice features somewhere else - the camera captured high quality video, and has a nice robust feel about it, but there are a number of fatal flaws, at least for me: - these new cameras are managed through the Google Home app, not the Nest app. The Home app is horrible and cluttered to use, but more importantly, this means you cannot view your videos through a browser - only through the Home app - there is not way to set notification schedules - to get notifications when there is motion during the night, but not during the day, for example. every other product I've tried offers this feature. without it the product is mostly useless as you either get nonstop notifications, or none at all. - there is no easy way to share clips with people - you have to download them to your mobile device then either post them somewhere or share them in a message - super annoying.

Posted .Hi mtnkea, thanks for the feedback and for sharing your experience with us. It’s unfortunate to learn that your Nest Cam (Battery) has not been ideal for your needs.
Nest Cam (battery) can only be set up and managed using the Google Home app. While the new Nest cameras and doorbells are exclusive to the Home app, you can view both your old and new Nest Cams together in the Home app. We’re aware that longtime Nest users enjoy having the option to view their Nest camera feeds from the web, and we are working on adding this experience. However, our priority with this launch was building a complete experience for our new cameras and doorbell in the Google Home app. You’ll have the ability to download multiple video clips that event video history automatically captures. If you have event video history, your Nest camera will automatically generate a video clip of the activity that you can download. If you have 24/7 video history and want to create a video clip of a specific event you will need to download one of the automatically generated video clips and edit using your phone’s native video editor.
Also, you can choose to receive notifications for everything your camera detects, or choose notifications for only certain types of activity. If you’ve turned on critical alerts, you may receive some push notifications even when your phone is set to Do Not Disturb. You can create Activity Zones to cover areas in your camera’s view that you care about, and choose the type of motion you want to be notified of for each zone. This is helpful if you’re receiving too many alerts from motion throughout your camera’s view.
We appreciate your input as we continue to work on improving our products and services. And if you have any concerns about the performance and features of the Nest camera, let us know and we’d be happy to help: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
