Google Nest Cam
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the Google nest cams and have many of them. Setting up and linking is pretty easy. The only think I don’t like about the ones like this one that is wireless is that although you can put them anywhere, it gets old having to take them down to recharge and then put back up

I would recommend this to a friend Google Nest outdoor cameras
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Video fuzzy. Not clear. I did not like that it only came with 1 short plug n cable to use for the 3 cameras
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Google Team
Posted .Hi Letty, thank you for sharing your feedback. The inclusion of a single cable is intentional. Your cameras typically do not need to be charged simultaneously due to variations in usage. These variations include event frequency, the scene the camera is observing, sensitivity and event duration settings, and more. If you have any further questions, please contact us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Did The job

I would recommend this to a friend Doesnt support the nest app
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice cam but wow what was google thinking. The power cable faces forward which wxposes rhe power cord if you want to have your cam connected to power 24/7. It is supposed to be a nest product but when you add the cam it takes you to the google site to add it. Once you add it you can view on the nest app wich is a pain because i have my original nest cams on the nest app. On the google home app i can see all cams old and new but the problem is google home app is all over the place i just want to see my cams not everything else in my house. How you gonna take nest over and force ppl to use the google app. Im returning and going with the old nest cams.

Posted .Hi DesawnB, thanks for sharing a review with us about your Nest Cam (Battery). We’re sorry to hear that you’ve had to deal with functionality issues, and that you don’t like the way the cable connects to the camera.
Using the Google Home app provides you with a lot of benefits including access to Google's trusted security platform and access to other Google tools. Also, it provides you with seamless integration with your other Google devices. 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 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.
We’re taking your feedback as we always aim to improve our products and services, and if you decide to give Nest Cam (Battery) another run in the future, we’d be more than happy to work with you to help improve your experience. You’ll find us always available here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
Still My Choice
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After reading some of the reviews I was a little hesitant about buying the battery version of the Nest Cam but after owning for a few months now and still haven't charged the battery... I will be upgrading the older versions I still have
I would recommend this to a friendClear Visibility and Good Range
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Set these up after we our street was consistently being egged. Added on both sides of the house with a full and clear view of the front both day and night. And no eggs since!
I would recommend this to a friendBest option in the market
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best option in the market today. I have had a hassle free installation, long battery life, good clarity, reliable access. It's a great investment along with the cloud plan for 8$/month
I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Motion detection
Google messed up this product launch
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.1. Doesn't capture movement all the time. Set up the zone correctly and misses half of the vehicles, people, animals that are in the zone. 2. During live view you can't go back in time easily. You have to go in to history, then if it recorded you can. 3. You have to use the Google Home App and can't add it to your existing Nest App. Not a huge issue but it's annoying. 4. Picture quality not the best. Trying to see a license plate on car 10' for camera is a challenge to read. 5. Slow to start recording once something is in the zone set up. A car traveling 5mph is almost gone when it finally starts to record.

Posted .Hi there, thanks for sharing the details of your experience with Nest Cam (Battery). We're sorry to hear about the frustrating experience when accessing the live view feature, including the picture quality and slow recording features.
Your Nest Cam (Battery) has full HD resolution with HDR video quality that’s optimized for a clear view in bright sun or dark. Keep in mind that it also helps save battery power. We believe that pixel count is only one factor that impacts video quality, and it shouldn’t be the only deciding factor when choosing a camera.
We'll make sure to pass along the details of your feedback to our product team, since we're always searching for ways to improve our products and services. We'd like to give you a better experience with your Nest Cam (Battery). Please feel free to reach out to our support team here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
I see everything now!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We use this Camera indoors for our Dog when we leave that also works as security. Mounting was super easy as it's wireless and the mount is purely magnetic, so taking off the camera is just a simply grab and pull. Covers a very wide viewing angle to get our door, kitchen, living room, and dining room.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The image quality of the new Nest cameras haven't really improved from the old ones; mainly HDR. The added options of battery power, biometrics being part of the camera, and offline video storage incase the internet goes out are nice improvements. They are slightly cheaper than the old outdoor cameras, however you have to buy the optional power cable which will make these more expensive in the end. This camera is exclusively for the Google Home app and will NOT work with the Nest app. It will stream live video to the Nest Hub and Hub Max, it will NOT stream video to Chromecast and Chromecast with GoogleTv. Since not all Nest products appear in the Google Home app (Nest Protects and temp sensors for the thermostat), you'll have to use two different apps for your Nest products depending on what device you want to use. You maybe better finding the old outdoor cameras if your not interested in using the battery feature.

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:

Our long term plan is to use the Google Home app as the one place you can control all of your favorite Nest and other smart home devices, as well as 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 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.

I would recommend this to a friendMajor flaw
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Camera has good footage but a huge flaw if you disconnect from the magnetic base the camera is useless so the only way to have true security with the cameras they have to cover each other or they can easily be knocked down and rendered useless
