Posted .Hi JMatty, it’s great to have your feedback on Nest Cam (battery) and we’re glad that the battery life and the image quality are ideal for you. We understand that longtime Nest users enjoy viewing their Nest camera feeds from the Nest app. However, our priority with this launch was building a complete experience for our new cameras and doorbell in the Google Home app. We’re working on bringing full functionality to the Home app as we want to create an integrated experience with other Nest and smart home devices.
If you need help with using the camera effectively in the Home app, please feel free to let us know here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Terrible detection!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had this camera right by my current security camera and it failed to detect half of the events. A large truck would drive through taking up the entire screen and it wouldn’t even detect that. I talked to Google and they helped reset camera but that didn’t help. I have returned the product. The app is terrible!

Posted .Hello there, Josh. We appreciate the feedback you shared, and we’re glad that you find the Nest Cam (battery) great. It’s unfortunate to hear about your experience with its battery life.
Your camera could be detecting a lot of activities, as the battery life depends on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. Try to adjust the settings like the video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas so you can extend its battery life. This link might be helpful: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10901611
In addition, you can plug your camera to a power outlet with the included power adapter for continuous power. The included power adapter is not weatherproof and not intended for outdoor use. We suggest using a compatible weatherproof cable (sold separately). Contact your retailer for inquiries.

It’s good when it connects
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been using this for over 6 months, it was pretty easy to install and hook up to the Google Home app. The biggest issue is when i want to view it live, it has issues allowing me to watch it in real time. It have to keep retrying multiple times which i am near an access point. It’l gets annoying after awhile. Just be aware.

Recharging them is easy to pull and place back on. The cloud recording has be slow to record and not record certain events.

Posted .Hi Kwan, thanks for your insights. It's great to hear that you liked the design and easy recharging feature of Nest Cam (Battery). However, we're sorry to hear that you found the cloud recording to be slow and that it doesn't record certain events.
We recommend checking your network for possible congestion. Disconnecting some of your connected devices can help free up some bandwidth space and enable you to test if you will get better cloud recording speeds. Once you verify congestion, contacting your Internet service provider to check your connection and upgrade your bandwidth is highly recommended.
Video recording is triggered by motion detection on Nest Cam (Battery), and this can be affected by changes in the light level, and shadows moving across the frame like when a cloud moves in front of the sun. This also includes other movements within the camera's field of view like trees or bushes swaying. If you're not getting any alerts or notifications, we recommend trying out the steps below:
1. Change the Activity Zones on your camera. You can delete your existing Activity Zone and create a new one in any area within your camera's field of view. Just make sure that none of the zones you create overlap.
2. Change the angle of your camera and account for the lighting in the surrounding area.
3. Restart your Camera.
If you still encounter some difficulty with the video recording even after following the steps we provided, please consider contacting our support team so we can assist you with your support needs here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
