Worth the price!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are - by far - the easiest cameras to setup and use. They just work and consistently so. My only complaint is that the google nest aware premium subscription is pretty pricy and necessary if you want to get full use of the camera’s features.

I would recommend this to a friend Not built for outdoor use! Experience
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Do not buy this item for an outdoor device. It was engineered to fail. Corrosion will build up where the charger port meets the camera. The design is not built to be waterproof or anywhere close to it. Mine lasted about 6months under an awning. Google would not even consider any warranty because I had everything except the useless cord. A C-port would have been better, still would have failed, but easily replaced. Do not buy for outdoor use. There are way better-engineered cameras for that purpose. Indoor use, sure, go for it, just know that the cord is one of a kind and uses a magnet to secure to the camera. The magnet is weak and short. Tends to fall out often. I have had two so far. Regret the purchase, and disappointed in the customer service treatment. Thanks, Apple, I mean CJ, for the awful customer experience. Tossing the nest as a whole, as I have 6 products and will use something reliable. There are free services for outdoor cameras. Not 99 dollars a year and expected to go up. Plus the software is kinda janky.

Battery Life
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They hold a long charge (Months) in low traffic areas and easy to install. The recharge is fast too. It also allows you to direct plug in if you have access to a outlet. I like it doesn’t need a power source where you install.

Posted .Hi there, thanks for reaching out. We´re sorry to hear that the battery life didn't quite meet your expectations. Battery life of 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 for your Nest Cam (Battery):
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 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. You may contact our support team for further assistance by visiting us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Excellent Camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good. I think a this is a good idea for low traffic areas to preserve the battery life. So far after 1 day and not full charging it it only lost 1%. I haven't even begin to set zones. Picture at day or night is amazing.

Great hardware, lacking software.
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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?

Overall believe this is a Fail on Google/Nest
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice camera and the convenience to put basically anywhere within wifi service. Otherwise a trash product from Nest. The biggest problem I have is they do not work with the Nest app, where all my other cameras are. Only on Google Home. Problem two which isnt as big a deal just annoying I knew they were battery yes, however I expected the charging cable to be a simple usb perhaps. No, not the case it is a specialty magnetic cable that to get one with any sort of length you have to purchase it separately.

Posted .Hi MCFD78, thanks for sharing your feedback with us about the Nest Cam (battery), and we’re sorry to learn it’s a disappointment for you.
We’re aware that longtime Nest users enjoy viewing their Nest camera feeds from the Nest app, however, our priority with this launch was building a complete experience for our new cameras and doorbell in the Google Home app. Our teams are working on enabling the ability to set up and control older Nest cameras in the Home app so users will have one app to control all of their devices, and we’re working on bringing full functionality to the Google Home app as we want to create an integrated experience with other Nest and smart home devices. While the new Nest cameras and doorbells are exclusive to the Google Home app, users with previous versions of Nest cameras can view their camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new Nest Doorbell and Nest Cams.
We're always here to help you improve your experience. If you run into an issue with your Nest Cam (Battery) and using it effectively in the Google Home app, please feel free to find us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Healthy dogs, good notifications.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very easy to install. I did purchase an aftermarket security device for my security device, which anchors it to the wall. Otherwise, the software keeps me up to date, and I know how often the dogs are walked in my neighborhood. Neat.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love being able to have this on my Google home app. A few things I am not happy with. It seems like it doesn't capture people as soon as they get in range of my area. When viewing the history it seems to take forever to view or the viewing stops. They should change on the history that I pick and choose what history I want to delete.
