Great Cameras!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Reliable, great quality video and audio, and provides great piece of mind. The only drawback is there's no native HomeKit support but we're looking into the Starling device to bridge that gap.

Posted .Hi Voltaic, it's great to hear that you liked the great video and audio quality of Nest Cam (Battery). We´re sorry to hear about your disappointment with the limitations for supporting Apple's HomeKit.
We also appreciate that you´re looking for options to help bridge both platforms. However, sharing your account email and password with unauthorized websites or apps can compromise the security of your home and personal information and no Hey Google partner will ever need your Google password.

Won't tilt down
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's like this huge and heavy battery cam is only made to tilt up. Can't get it to tilt down, making it hard to capture everything. If put down, it's even worse. I've done everything I can think of, moved it around, backward, forward, nothing works. And because of the magnet, there are limitations. I have two of the wired cams with no issues. Even the battery op doorbell has no issues. But this is a headache for lack of better word.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are great looking they blend in and work so well. The picture is very clear not fuzzy or distorted at all!
I would recommend this to a friend Awesome!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been using nest and other cameras for a very long time and I can tell you whomever says that these cameras are no good have no idea what they're talking about and are clueless these by far are the best I have used the clarity is out of this world the size of the cameras and the size of the magnets are outstanding! Even though the cameras are large they blend in very well, the speakers are also out of this world the clarity of the sound I can now talk to my dogs and they do listen through the cameras. Yes there's a new system to be used apart from the old nest cam but what do you expect it's a new company we get used to something it's hard to let go I understand but these cameras have outstanding clarity.

Buy an electrical cord
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great Battery Powered Cameras
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The battery on these cameras last a long time and the video quality is great. The major downside is that they don’t work on the nest app, so you have to check history on Google Home instead.

Posted .Hi Drew, thanks for your time sharing your feedback with us. We're glad to know that you find the Nest Cam (battery) great.
We’re aware that longtime Nest users enjoy viewing their Nest camera feeds from the Nest app, however, our priority with our new Nest cameras was building a complete experience 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.
We request for your patience as we’re working on a seamless solution. If you need help with any concerns about the Nest camera, feel free to let us know here and we’ll gladly help you the best we can: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
