Would be 5star but google decided to tweak the resolution and brightness with an update. Now the colors are washed out but night vision is very good. Still the cameras work very well have 5 around my house for over 3 years now.
Hello there, Door. Thanks for investing high on Google Nest cameras, and for sharing your feedback on the Nest Cam (Battery). We’re sorry to hear about your experience with its video quality.
You can adjust your cameras’ video quality that can improve the resolution. The higher the video quality setting you choose, the sharper and more detailed your footage can be, but it also uses more of your internet bandwidth. This setting lets you choose the maximum video quality for your cameras. And whichever level you pick, your camera will automatically adjust its resolution and compression according to how much bandwidth is available. Visit the Google Nest Help Center to learn more on how to change Nest camera or doorbell video quality: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9218596

Good for apartments. Battery life becomes an issue if consistently watching cameras.

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.

Great camera with a handfull of super easy mounting options. A breeze to install and set up. Typical google cam so no complaints!
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

It is a good camera, excellent quality It looks very good in the day and at night it focuses everything very well, no complaints about it.

Both cameras work well when placed in a good position. They don't last as long as I'd hoped because of the traffic in the areas so I ended up hard writing them to power.

Switched from ring to these and these do not disappoint. Plus when plugged in they record 24/7 of you have a paid subscription. Video quality is also better on these

Best Buy local expert provided a great overview of the product. The installation was extremely easy. Used one in the house and the other outside. Added power cable to avoid removing it for charging and the need to pick the right angle, when remounting. Highly recommend!
