I would recommend this to a friend Won't tilt down
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's like this huge and heavy battery cam is only made to tilt up. Can't get it to tilt down, making it hard to capture everything. If put down, it's even worse. I've done everything I can think of, moved it around, backward, forward, nothing works. And because of the magnet, there are limitations. I have two of the wired cams with no issues. Even the battery op doorbell has no issues. But this is a headache for lack of better word.

Google Cameras
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The cameras just sit there, cars in and out of garages, never a shot of them. the thing that is most noticeable is the movement of trees along driveway, Unless you are standing right under camera you will get an image. Very disappointed, they are worthless. Dogs always in backyard, never see them. Need a way to rectify this. Is there any support from Google.

Great camera but has video length limitations
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love Nest wired cameras. This battery camera was only working in 20 seconds intervals whenever there was activity which I am not crazy about. I don't have that limitation with my wired cameras. I ended up buying the electric cable to extend the length of video recordings.

Best outdoor cam
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Tried Simply Safe and other brand, but this is the best for me since didn't need to sign up and the fact that I already have Google account. Battery last decent, but easy to take down to recharge.

Inconsistent Event Detection & Notifications
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The inconsistency of event detection and push notifications with this camera is very frustrating. Some days, the camera won't even push a single notification. I have mine mounted above my garage, facing the street, and we get a lot of foot traffic and cars passing our house, so we should get a lot of activity being captured throughout the day. It's not a settings issue, both my Google Home app and my phone push notification settings are properly configured. My settings: Wake-up Sensitivity: High Maximum Event Length: 1 min Video quality: Max Push Notifications: All (Motion, People, Animals, Vehicles) I've tried resetting the camera, and reinstalling it into my Google Home App, but nothing has fixed the issue. If you're in the market for a home security system, I wouldn't recommend the Google camera system at this point. The only reason I haven't switched already is because I've already invested a lot of money into this system, and switching brands/devices, plus subscription will just further incur more costs. I'm overall unsatisfied with the performance of this device. I'm not getting what I'm paying for with the Nest Aware subscription using this camera. I have little-to-no confidence that this camera would detect anything if someone were to vandalize or steal my property within line-of-sight of the camera. Do some thorough review comparisons with competitive brands! Hopefully this helps!

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great camera quality but lacks a good app to review camera and ease of pulling up to watch camera. If there was an app I’d give 5 stars

DO NOT BUY!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Always Dysfunctional, & Always Says Offline. Can’t Watch Live Footage. First One Crapped Out After 1yr, Used My Warranty, Got A New One For Free. Second One Crapped Out After 12 Days. Went To Best Buy (which they’re amazing!) & Swapped It Out Yet Again (Because It Was Still Within The 14 Day Return Window)… Got A Third New One & Craopex Out After 30 Days!!! Went Back For A Full Refund. Do Not Buy The 2nd Generation Battery Wireless Option Ones!!! They Suck…. Now I Highly Dooooo Recommend Their Wired Nest IQ 1st Generation w/ Face Recognition 4K Outdoor/Indoor Cameras!!! I Have 2 Of Those For Over 6yrs Now & Absolutely No Complaints, Except The Fact That They Discontinued Them!!!
