    From a hardware standpoint these are great, the magnetic mounts work well and the picture quality is wonderful. But like other google products, the software is irritating. Constant changes and updates, just integrated into google home for "simplicity", and pretty much worthless without paying for their Nest Secure subscription. Google has also recently started shutting down older Nest products, so feels like its only a matter of time for these?

      Hi Whynotnow, thanks for taking the time to share your insights. It's great to hear that you liked the video quality of Nest Cam (Battery) and that you had an easy time setting it up. We're sorry to hear about the short battery life you are experiencing.

      The battery life for Nest Cam (Battery) will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. Users can extend the battery life of their 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 month battery life (About 25 - 30 recorded events per day)
      Typical: About 2.5 months battery life (About 13 - 16 recorded events per day)
      Quiet: About 6 months battery life (about 2 - 5 recorded events per day)

      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 device and understand what may be causing it. We'd like to help you further with your support needs if the issue persists. Please feel free to contact any of our support agents here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    I'm not sure why these cameras get such a bad review. After having Blink Cameras for almost a year they started to go out, have connection issues and everything. I can only compare the Nest cam against the Blink cameras, and the difference is night and day. I had a problem with people driving across my lawn, and Blink cameras couldn't activate fast enough to record it. I needed something that has continuous recording and Nest cam has done the job! 24 hours a day recording and smart motion alerts telling me if it's an animal, person or vehicle. That's pretty darn cool to me. Also, with Blink, only one person could view a camera at a time.... that's crazy. If you are viewing your backyard camera, your front yard camera won't work... they don't tell you that in the description. Not with Google. You can monitor all your cameras in real time at once from your phone, Nest Hub or computer! The cameras are a bit pricier, but... you get what you pay for. Most people don't want or need 24 hour recording... I love it!

    A Best Buy Tech recently installed our two Google Nest Cams in the front and back of our house. The picture quality is very clear during the day or night. The Cams alert us on our phone if someone comes within range. We are happy to have this added security protection.

    I like that the ai is good recognizing people and vehicles during the day great. At night it really struggles and makes bad calls alot. Cant upload video to your phone while giving a live feed so you cant see things while they happen if you get an alert. So look at your options should have done more research on my part

    Horrible overtime! Dont recommend!

    Worst experience with these cameras. They work well in the begining and as time goes by the video quality goes to crap and the cameras stop connecting altogether. Every update released to the Home app seems to make things worse. If you dont care about security and throwing money away then these are the cameras for you. Worse is that they just jacked up the price to their subscription to habe these garbage cameras running. Worse buy of all hands down.
