Customer Ratings & Reviews

The batteries need to be changed more often than I like. Other than that, the images are very good. I am satisfied with the cameras.

good quality on images. battery is worthless. only lasts a few days and they only provide one charger with the 2 pack. also, can't use with online nest account. need to use a stupid home app which is not available desktop

These are easy to install, setup on phone simple, my only complaint/concern is the battery life is significantly less than advertised. Having to climb the ladder every 10 days is not very pleasant.

These are ok, a little disappointed in streaming quality but it gets the job done. Have lots of issues with connectivity, however ease of use and set up is really easy. Battery life on these last forever, almost 3 weeks. No weather or rain guard so when it rains view is obstructed

The camera works great. My only initial issue was getting it to connect/setup on the Google home app. It needed to be near another nest product to get connected. Thankfully, I already use the best thermostat, so I held it next to that and it finally connected. From there it was a breeze. The picture quality is great. Something to keep in mind, is that it doesn't have theft protection. So i highly recommend purchasing some theft protection to prevent anyone from walking up and and just taking your camera (its only magnetically held on). You will get notifications when people are spotted. My only complaint there is that there should be a "snooze" button for that alert. When my lawn guys come, it constantly will send me notifications while they're working. All in all, it does what it needs to do and I enjoy them.

Easy setup. Easy to configure to your Google Home account. I'm not overly impressed with the with the way Google home does it's video recording. It's not constant recording and the cameras can miss things.

Good video and audio. Very easy to install although I had to try multiple times to get all the way through the process. Battery life so far is great. Wish they were constant on like the other nest cams but other than that very good cams.

Love the night vision and resolution, overall quality is what you would expect from Google, beautiful presentation, ease of installation, and actual understandable installation process. We do use one as a “baby monitor” but we had to hard wire it as the battery would run out over night. I guess that would be the only drawback we’ve encountered. The other camera was installed in the garage and the battery has a great run time, (this is after 3 weeks of use) and we’ve yet to have to charge it after it’s initial charge upon installation.

I do feel like this is an upgrade over the previous Nest IQ cameras largely due to the on-device biometrics. It’s very impressive how quickly it can pick up a known face (almost instantly). In general, notifications come in again almost instantly vs. about 30 second to 1 minute with the old IQ cameras. The vehicle notifications are also very handy. Allows me to keep the motion alerts category of notifications off which provides a much quieter experience in terms of notifications. The video quality looks on par with the older IQ cameras. I’m using the cameras in wired power mode. The night visions seems slightly better than on the IQ cameras, but it’s very close. It is nice to see Nest release a battery camera which increases its versatility. I know everyone was hoping for a true 4K camera, but it’s just not feasible to have say 5 or 6 cameras all streaming 4K video to the cloud at the same time. We’ll get there eventually, but just not yet. Overall, a solid upgrade!

I set my expectations after reading the reviews about the cameras and I like them so far. I had the non battery ones before and I understand what everybody is complaining about, not being connected to the nest app and only working with the google home didn't feel like a deal breaker after all. you can always choose to only view your cameras on the google home app and see everything together without being disturbed by all the other smart devices connected to the app. Also being on Idle not a big issue since it will detect motion just as well as the old versions, it's a plus since it saves battery. quality can be changed if you don't like what it's defaulted to and I'm keeping them on high quality and they both capture clear videos. battery life is good so far, %94 after over two weeks. I wish they had two charging wires as everybody mentioned and for that I'm skipping one star but other than that I feel they're great google cameras for the price.

So far I have nop problems. Sometimes, like every other electronic device, it comes in and out. But over all content

Very difficult to connect and activate for on-line camera viewing. Too complicated . Cameras are excellent !

Great video quality, easy to set up. Took months to decide between this and ring, but it works so easy with phone and other Google displays. One app on my phone for doorbell, security camera, hue lights, thermostat and smart displays. I had Ring camera, install on that one took a while and when i had to recharge, i had to remember his to unscrew it then take out the battery. This one you simply pop it off the magnet, or unscrew the security screw and take the camera down. Install is much easier than ring camera too

Worked great overall. Very easy install. Good picture quality during the day and overall battery life for our home works out to months not weeks. The camera performs well at night, though some of the arlo cameras have higher quality (color, resolution) night vision.

Good quality images. I was told they do not work with best aware though, haven't tried yet but I would probably return them if that is the case. Pretty expensive though, I’m sure I could have found a much cheaper outdoor camera that would pair with my nest home system.

Great product. Good quality. Battery storage is decent but can be better. Drains a bit fast. Recommend buying the extended charging cable to keep the battery juiced up.

They are pretty nice the night vision is great very clear the daytime is clear the only complaints is the batteries dies pretty quickly if there are alot of events they are best to be plugged in permanently.

Overall the cameras are good. Easy to setup but the battery use can be a tough one. Had to turn off sound and mic items. Once I did that it is more reasonable. Takes 4-5 hours to charge this units but wireless setup is a breeze.

Great camera quality and easy to connect to Nest/Google Home app. Charge doesn't last as long as I was expecting (~3 months idle) but nonetheless is completely cordless and provides great video output.

Bought these the week of Black Friday & so far I’m thoroughly impressed & pleased! Setup & installation was breeze (if you know what you’re doing). I’m happy with build & quality. The only negative thing I can say is the battery drains rapidly in a high traffic motion area where the camera will be used at. So I had to purchase the outdoor weathered cable so the battery would have constant power.
