    Great camera. With long battery life. Easy to move from room to room. Used when some movers came to pack my house. Thanks to this camera they were caucht taking things before they realized it was there. Blends in well.

    Good camera. Battery lasts several weeks sometimes months depending on the activity. Only reason for 4 stars is I believe the video quality could be a little better. Grainey picture when zooming in at all. Nest aware is pretty good and easy to use.

    Working so far, can’t believe they have gone to where you have to buy an electrical cord separate to keep it plugged in for continual live footage that cost an extra $35/40.

    These cameras are awesome. However if you put them in a high traffic area the battery life decreases substantially.

Using activity zones to focus on specific areas can also improve things. If you're still having issues, reach out to us anytime and we’d be happy to help you, here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Easy setup and work very well. Tried using it with the Wasserstein solar panel (high output version) and that worked well in a very high traffic commercial parking lot. After about a 1.5 weeks I got a notification that my battery had dropped to about 70%. Pretty good as the panel was in a shaded area with no direct sunlight. Ultimately I choose to get the power cable so I could have continuous recording as that is the only way to have all video instead of just clips of activity.
