Watch for sale prices

Good features, great camera, poor battery life
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve got wired nest cameras and the new wireless door bell. The nest camera battery has some really great features and the camera is great. My disappointment is in the battery life, it has needed charged 1 time and told me today we have 2 days left… that means 2 charges in 1 week. I’m going to return and buy another wired.

Posted .Hi Irishfire79, thanks being an advocate of our products. We are sorry for the poor battery life with your Nest Cam (Battery).
Battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. You can extend the battery life of your camera by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas. Here are some typical scenarios:
- Busy - About 1.5 months battery life (about 20 - 25 recorded events per day)
- Typical - About 3 months battery life (about 9 - 12 recorded events per day)
- Quiet - About 7 months battery life (about 2 - 4 recorded events per day)
If you´re willing to try, we recommend checking the frequency of events (per day) that you get with your Nest Cam (Battery). If the short battery life isn´t related to the frequency of events, then we may need to have a closer look at your Nest Cam (Battery) and understand what may be causing it. You may contact our support team for further assistance here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Unreliable performance
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Expensive product with unreliable and terrible performance. You do not have access to old footage, only seen events. I can walk right past these cameras and half the time never trigger an event. About 80% of the time when you open the home app the cameras say no connection and takes clicking refresh over and over. I do not have the same issues with my wired cameras however when i add all of my cameras they all start to glitch. My wired cameras will record a few seconds and then say video not available for a few seconds and the footage is basically useless and you’re unable to connect and watch the footage live. Eventually (days later) the footage is magically available. When i remove any 1 camera this stops. So imagine you hear something outside and want to check out what’s going on. Only to be met with a black screen that says video unavailable refresh for 30-45 seconds. Knowing the device doesn’t pick up events half the time and there is no video history.

Great wireless camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this because I wanted to mount it in a place where I couldn't easily get power to. So far so good. Battery life seems to be great. Got it and installed it the day it was released and still have an estimated 4 months of battery life left. Impressed with the picture quality and ability to pick-up motion and determine if it's an animal or person.

Good Camera. Bad on Google
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The camera overall is very good. I problem is that it does not work with the Nest app. So you have to use Google home if you want to use the old cameras with the new. With google home you can not use the history with the ond cameras

Posted .Hi randerle, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We apologize if you’re unable to add your Nest Cam (Battery) in the Nest app.
The new Nest Cam (Battery) is exclusive to the Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience. Our long term plan is to use the Google Home app as the one place you can control all your favorite Nest and other smart home devices, and Google Assistant. In the near future, we’ll allow users to set up previous Nest devices and have full control in the Home app. Users with older cameras can view their camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new 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.
Your feedback is important to us as it will greatly help us understand our customers’ needs. If you have any questions or concerns, you can always reach out to our support team. We’d be more than happy to help here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Great value for these cams
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cameras are great, quality in sound and video are good as well. It took me awhile to figure out to reset them to a different router, luckily YouTube helps. I have one on a google cam stand the other mounted on the magnet mount. Feel very secured on the magnet mount.
