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.

Very dissapointed in this camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Let me start out by saying that the design and quality of this camera is good (minus the position of the charging cable). I have metal siding, so I didn't have to drill any holes, the magnet is really strong, and holds well. I just had a series of storms come through my area and it fared well. It was easy to set up and looks great outside my house. Now, its time for the cold water; the battery is, as everyone has said, horrible. 2 days in and my camera was at 68% with 6 total events recorded between the 2 days... Google will try and tell you that battery life is based on many different factors, it is essentially their way of placing blame on you, that somehow its YOUR fault. not the case. I turned all recordings off, charged it to 100% and let it sit outside my home where temperatures in MN have been 75 on average. 3 days later it is sitting at 90% battery. Could I have gotten a faulty unit? Sure, anything that is mass produce will have some issues. But its left a bad taste in my mouth all the same. I don't know what I'm going to do at this point, but after al the hype, i'm not impressed

Posted .Hi MWPHennessy, we appreciate you taking the time to let us know of your experience with the Nest Cam (Battery). We’re sorry to learn that you ran into an issue with the battery, and that you don’t like the position of the charging cable. We’re always listening to what our customers’ share with us to identify areas we can improve.
Besides the time between recorded events, battery life also depends on 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, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas. Below are some typical scenarios about the battery life:
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)
We suggest adjusting the video quality in settings to balance high resolution video with longer battery life and lower bandwidth use. Check this link that might be helpful for you: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10901611
If the issue persists after checking the steps above, you may reach out to us anytime at the following link and we’ll do our best to help: 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.

I would recommend this to a friend Good enough, but google sure is messed up
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Product is decent, does its job. However now that google has fragmented the nest ecosystem, those of us that have "older" nest products now have to live with two different platforms. If I want to see these cameras, i have to go to the home app. Other cameras, to the nest app. History in one, not the other. Alerts from nest app and sometimes the home app overlap. Its silly.

Posted .Hi Cywolf1, we're sorry to hear that you are not pleased with the move we made to the Google Home app for the new generation of Nest cameras, including Nest Cam (Battery).
Our goal for the launching of the new generation of Nest cameras is to make the Google Home app the one place where you can control all your favorite Nest devices and other smart home devices with the Google Assistant. Here are some benefits you can get by using the Google Home app with your Nest Cam (Battery):
- Automatic security protections such as Suspicious activity detection, 2-Step Verification and Security Checkup.
- Your Google Nest devices and services will work together. For example, if you have a Nest camera and a Nest Hub, just say, ""Hey Google, show me the backyard camera” to cast your camera stream to your display without any additional setup.
- One account to sign into both the Nest and Google Home apps.
- Your homes and home members will be aligned across the Nest and Google Home apps.
You may transfer your old Nest cameras to the Google Home app together with your Nest Cam (Battery). Here's how: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9893532
Our support team would be happy to help you with your support concerns. Please reach out to our support team here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Battery life is poor
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am pleased with this product however, after one month’s use the battery already requires recharging. It is setup with the basic defaults and a maximum of 30 sec recordings. I get about 15 events a day so did not expect that to drain the battery so quickly.

I would recommend this to a friendGreat value
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Picked these up open box "excellent". I had been keeping an eye out for a sale, but i never found one. Received a gift card for BB. These were easy to install, charge, and load onto my "Home". Hardware for multiple mounting situations. Batteries last approx 3-4 months depending on triggered recordings. I love being able to see my property at any time with these.
