Pleased with this purchase.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Best Buy Naples has been AWFUL in getting back to
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the product but am BEYOND DISAPPOINTED that I bought a full years worth of INSTALLS and they did NOT INSTALL properly add I have been totally ignored for over a week. I don’t want to hear anything bout BUSY AT THE HOLIDAYS or similar. Absolutely inexcusable how Ramon has totally ignored me. If he is out sick, on vacation or whatever SOMEONE needed to get back to me. Ignored and totally dissatisfied with BB in Naples. I am beyond loyal and have been treated very well in OH but like SHI^^&** by Naples. And I arranged for install back in NOVEMBER so plenty of time to make it right….

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Waited for these to be available due to the improvements to the previous generation and am disappointed. They are indoor, but do not have an "indoor" mount included, thats a $40+ extra and they dont sit level and the base isnt flat. They come with 1 charging cable, which makes no sense, battery or not as I would prefer to leave them plugged in. If you want them weather resistant, that also requires a different cable. For the price, I expected way more and will be returning them for a set of Arlo cameras.

Downgrade from Previous Nest Cams
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's baffling that Google would choke their new cameras with less features than previous generation, and entirely due to software. These latest cams are NOT Nest Aware compatible so you only get a limited 3 hour history window before they delete recorded events. And no option to subscribe to a service that would allow longer storage (like Nest Aware). It neuters the entire purpose of security cameras. Why on earth would Google do this? They're missing out on revenue and already have the tech in place. As of this review date (summer 2024) the Google Home app is also pretty clunky and hard to set schedules and customize. The cameras are fine, but until they fix the software/app I would strongly recommend avoiding.

Okay for my purposes
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very not impressed by how quickly the battery dies. It seemed to last longer at first and now I have to charge roughly every other day… but it is in my chicken run so I can check on them while I am at work.

Posted .Hi APeake, thanks for your insights. We're sorry to hear that your Nest Cam (Battery) quickly dies out.
Battery life 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.

Posted .Hi there, AppleD. Thanks for sharing a review on Nest Cam (Battery). It's great that you had an easy time installing it. However, we're sorry to hear that you're having a difficult experience pairing it with other Nest cameras.
Here are some steps you can try out that may be helpful with the issue:
- Ensure that all your devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
- Check for possible congestion in your network. You can verify this by disconnecting some of the devices that are connected to your network. You may then check if you will be able to see all your Nest cameras on the Home app.
- Check for possible sources of interference. The thick walls and the different appliances in your home may affect the Wi-Fi signal between your devices and router. Ensuring that there are no sources of signal interference will help improve the signal strength for your Nest cameras.
- If you're using the Nest app to manage your older Nest cameras, you may have the option to set them up on the Google Home app. Check out this help article to learn more: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9893532
We'd be happy to assist you with any other concerns you have on your Google Nest cameras. You may reach out to our support team using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
