Poor Execution
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The app is glitchy sometimes. I thought maybe it was due to the camera being set up on battery so I went through the trouble of wiring it hoping it would improve but the troubles connecting are still there. Camera quality for streaming/saved videos is trash. I suspect google is trying to save on bandwidth on their servers so they purposely degrade the camera quality. I have a camera with Simplisafe that is also 1080p and camera quality is significantly better. I would return if I didn’t already have so much invested.

Posted .Hi Eddy, thanks for letting us know about the glitchy issue and poor video quality with your Nest Cam (Battery). We apologize for any inconvenience these issues may have caused you.
Both the poor video quality and glitchy issues you are experiencing may be caused by connectivity issues in your network. You may try out some suggested troubleshooting steps you can try out:
- Check your Nest camera's distance from the router or access point.
- Restart your Nest Cam (Battery). Locate the reset button on the back of the camera. Press and hold for 5 seconds. Your camera will restart, and the status light will be steady, solid white.
- Restart your router.
- Check for interference. Almost every network is subject to wireless interference which can cause problems when connecting your camera to the Google Home app. Check for any wireless interference that may be caused by thick walls and floors, competing Wi-Fi networks, from other electronics in your home.
- Check for possible congestion. Removing some of your devices that's connected to your network may help relieve some bandwidth space.
If you will allow us, we'd like to work with you on improving your experience. You may reach out to our support team here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Very disappointed
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very disappointed in this product. I already have 2 wired Nest cameras that work great. We bought this one to address a blind spot around our house. It doesn’t alert if I walk through the zone quickly and since Google bought Nest it isn’t compatible With the Nest app which is far superior to Google Home. I would return it if I were still in the window to do so. Don’t waste your time and money on this.

Posted .Hi BLDis, we appreciate you for sharing your feedback about your experience with using the Nest Cam (Battery), and we’re sorry to hear that it’s a disappointment for you.
Our long term plan is to use the Google Home app as the one place you can control all of your favorite Nest and other smart home devices, as well as Google Assistant. In the near future, we’ll allow users to set up previous Nest devices and have full control in the Home app. Users with older cameras can view their camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new Nest Doorbell and Nest Cams. Our team is working on bringing full functionality to the Google Home app so all of your cameras can be set up and controlled in one place.
If you haven’t yet, we suggest adjusting the wake-up sensitivity of your camera to decide when to wake up and start recording. But please note that adjusting the wake-up sensitivity will also affect the range at which your camera can sense activity, and the amount of time it takes for the camera to wake up once it senses activity. Here’s how:
- Open the Home app.
- On the home screen, select your camera.
- Tap Settings > Video > Wake-up sensitivity.
- Choose your preferred setting.
We care about your experience. Please let us know anytime here if further assistance is required and we’ll do our best to help: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

I would recommend this to a friend Google Nest Camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They work great regardless of being inside or outside. If something is too far away you can double tap your phone screen and it will zoom in and its pinch to zoom out. It catches all types of activities like your dog jumping on and off the couch even noises like it might even overhear conversations if you are yelling or talking loud enough but it generally dosent if your at a normal voice level.

Security cameras
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These cameras are easy to activate and have a quality picture
I would recommend this to a friend Good camera
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works as expected. Great clarity and alerting to motion. Ideally you would want to utilize the power line if possible but if its not available the battery life will last a while. Occasionally, I will forget and the camera will die until I can get around to charging it again.
