    Cameras are great, however not a fan of the recharging of the cameras. They last for me about 10-14 days.

    It mostly works. It goes offline every now and then for no apparent reason. Wi-Fi signal is strong where it is mounted, so there should be no problem. Picture is good and sensitivity is fine.

      Hi there, AndreL. Thanks for the feedback. We’re glad that you like the picture quality and sensitivity of the Nest Cam (battery). It’s unfortunate to hear that your experience with its connectivity is less than ideal.

      We recommend checking for objects such as mirrors and refrigerators between the cameras and your router as these items could block the connection. If you have a good Wi-Fi connection but the camera is offline, this can happen if the device gets too hot or too cold, and can be avoided by these:
      - Your camera should not be exposed to direct sunlight
      - Avoid placing your camera near objects that can cause overheating like light bulbs, lamps, large equipment/appliances, air vents, etc. Your camera needs good air circulation. Never install it in any kind of small box or enclosure as this can cause overheating.
      - If mounted outdoors, you can install it under an eave or overhang, or even install a small shade above it.

      If the issue persists, we’d be happy to help you in any way we can and you’ll find us always available here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    I can’t get the camera to pick up the last 4 digits to connect camera and it doesn’t let me manually plug in. I guess it is not compatible with my current Nest System. Very frustrating. I am going to return. I gave it an average because I am sure it works great if I could get it going, I am returning the camera.

    I have google everything so this was a no brainer. Was a bit upset that the Nest app didn't control these, I've gotten used to using the home app now for everything. My front yard camera gets a lot of action and I have to charge it weekly. They remove rather easy and charge in 2-3 hours.

      Hi FloridaManGC, thanks for sending in your review on your Nest Cam (battery). We're sorry to hear that you're experiencing some battery issues with your device. To extend the battery life of your camera we'd recommend adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas. Our priority with this launch was to create an integrated experience with other Google Nest products and to make the Google Home app as the one place you can control all your Nest and other smart home devices with the Google Assistant.

      If you've already tried the recommendations mentioned or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us on our Google Help page here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
