    Firstly, let me say that this device has lots of pros. The ability to have a battery powered security camera which I can install anywhere is very nice. Some folks have complained about the video resolution but I personally find it adequate. HOWEVER, there are a few limitations that are infuriating. The fact that this is a Google NEST camera but doesn't allow you to use the NEST app is very annoying. Instead, you are forced to use Google's clunky and half-baked "home" app which is slow, buggy, and allows for limited customization. Secondly, there is a subscription fee if you want this camera to be useful at all, which I really wouldn't mind, except that it is shockingly overpriced.

    So far so good. We have had some serious wind the last few weeks and the magnetic mount held the camera in place just fine. Video quality is not terrible, you can't expect imax quality with a 1080p camera. I like it enough that I do plan on getting another for the other side of the house when they go on sale again.

    Read lots of commentary about battery life. Battery life is fine… been using them for weeks and both batteries are still at 70% or better. Video quality and face recognition are excellent.

    A little quirky but does the job. The Arlo Cams are better in my opinion especially the user interface much better. The battery is not the best either in high traffic areas..

    Great Cam pack for my front/backyard. Easy to install, and the battery is a little bit weak in the cold temperature. But you can always connect the wire to charge it 24/7.

    I have been pleased with these after a month of use. Because they're battery-powered, I chose easily accessible mount locations so that recharging isn't a recurring miserable process. The video quality is a good as expected.
