Fine Camera, lacking features
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The battery life is no where near advertised. I get about a week on a charge. They could last much longer if there was a way to trigger them on and off with Google Home Automations or even a simple turn on when away, but sadly no such setting. Can't even schedule them on or off at certain times of the day. People have been complaining about this since they came out, but Google has yet to remedy this.

Great Camera!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great camera, 3rd one purchased and no issues with any of them. Battery will drain fast in the cold winter months so you may want to hardwire to avoid any dead battery issues when away for long periods of time.

OK if no outside outlet, but Wired Nest Cam better
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good if there is no outside electrical outlet. It's a bit of a pain when it gets colder and you have to recharge more often. Also, I had a better experience with the Nest/ Google Home App with the Wired Nest Cameras in the past, as they allow you to track longer than 3-4 hours (Wired version lets you store up to 14 days I believe.)

Posted .Hi there VxxS, thanks for sharing your experience with us on Nest Cam (Battery). We're sorry to hear that you're recharging it more than usual, during the colder season.
During winter, the battery life of Nest Doorbell (Battery) may have less than half the life that it has at temperatures close to -4°F (-20°C). Keep in mind that the battery life may vary since it will still depend on factors including activity, temperature, and selected camera settings.
Nest Cam (battery) can accommodate up to 10 days of continuous video recording (CVR) and 24/7 video history, and you can even get 60 days of event video history, if hardwired to power and subscribed to Nest Aware Plus ($12 a month for all of your cameras, speakers, and displays on the same home structure).
Please consider contacting our support team for any other questions or support concerns you would like us to address with your Google Nest products. We'd be happy to assist you here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good cameras, do experience some latency from time to time which can be frustrating, I do not think it is my WIFI network, rather then ongoing integration of Nest and Google h/w and s/w. I would recommend to those who have done their research into their needs and can verify these meet them.

The battery
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The camera has good picture and audio quality, however, it's hampered by the poor battery. The battery isn't just bad, it's awful. I returned it and got a ring stick up camera which has much better battery and accessories.

BEWARE - CANNOT USE THESE WITH A GSUITE EMAIL ACCO
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like these cameras overall but there is a big shortfall. If you or someone in your family has a business gmail account you cannot add these to Google Home. Try having a conversation with your customer when you've installed a bunch of these and then tell them they can't use their primary email for the set up. Some people get really upset about this. This is a Google product. Why would you do this??

Posted .Hi AndrewD. Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that the cameras meet your expectations and that you like them.
Regarding functionality with a business Gmail account, Google Nest energy, safety, and security products are designed for home use. As such, they do not support using them with business accounts due to potential privacy and data usage concerns.

Don't waste your money on this camera
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camera sucks. I have 2 outdoor Nest wired cameras and I absolutely love them. I bought those years ago before Google and Nest merged. First, this camera cannot be added to your Nest app. I have read that the Nest app is going away and the Google home app will be the new one to use, but the Google home app sucks. The Nest app shows your cameras in one view when you open it. On the Google home app, you have to click on the camera to see the views. That's too many clicks and I can't see all my cameras in one view like on the Nest app. Second, the battery life sucks! We get maybe 5-6 days of battery out of this camera. Charging it once a week is just not feasible. I read online that this camera is a Google camera with a Nest logo and I feel like that's accurate. This is not as high-quality as my other Nest cameras. If I could return it, I would.

Poor battery life is a deal breaker
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Happy with the picture quality and cloud features, as I have several other Nest cameras. Battery life was abysmal though. Getting a non-wired camera I knew I would need to charge the camera every once in a while. But it felt like every few days I was getting the notification that my camera battery was low. I ended up returning the cameras.
