Had to return, too many cons for 'security' use
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had to return these units. I wish Googe made the following limitations extremely clear before I wasted my time - 2 pack camera only comes with 1 cable - 10 minute person notification for alerts. Will not be alerted if someone breaks into your home less than 10 mins after you leave - on battery mode, PIR sensor used to waku up camera seems to have a distance of 10ft (maximum sensitity). Too short as a thief will not be detected until they are out of frame if they walk quickly pluses: unit feels very high quality and magnet is very very strong

Posted .Hi there, thanks for taking the time to share your review on the Nest Cam (Battery). We’re sorry for the inconvenience these issues may have caused you, and we understand your decision to return it.
Nest camera notifications are a little different. Because we don’t want to bombard you with alerts, you might get fewer than you expect if your camera is pointed at a busy spot. You can choose to receive notifications for everything your camera detects, or choose notifications for only certain types of activity. Here’s more information about notification settings you can change for your camera: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9210305
Also, it only takes around 4-5 hours to fully charge the Nest Cam (battery). If there’s a need for more than one charging cable, or if you want the camera to be wired with continuous power, you can go with the optional Nest Cam (battery) Weatherproof Cable (in 5 m or 10 m) to keep your Nest Cam connected.
Your feedback is important as we always aim to improve our products and services. If you’d like to try the new Nest Cam again in the future, we’d be happy to help improve your experience by visiting us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
Almost great
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Could've been 5 stars only due to the fact it uses a different instead of nest app and requires a power cord for constant 247 recording.

Posted .Hello, Yiazmat. Thanks for sharing your feedback and for giving us a good rating on the Nest Cam (battery). We hear your concerns about the app integration and with the 24/7 recording feature.
We’re aware that longtime Nest users like you enjoy viewing the camera videos using the Nest app or web app. 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.
To optimize battery life, it offers event video history and will detect and capture important activity at your door, so you can focus on the details that need your attention. Our goal is to give users more choice. With event video history, we wanted our products to help our customers, like you, to understand what’s going on at home easily and highlight the important activity for you. We still offer 24/7 video history on wired Nest cameras/doorbells with a Nest Aware Plus subscription if you choose to connect your Nest Cam (battery) to a power cable (sold separately). Visit this support link to learn more about pricing, and what you can get with a Nest Aware subscription: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9233159

- Cons mentioned:Battery life
Battery won't last! Buy a corded one... :(
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Battery last less than a week while indoors, can't imagine if place outside. Definitely returning it and buying the corded one, not paying additionally for a cord that should be included with the cordless if battery will not last long. Super disappointed!

Posted .Hello there, Lilybeth. We’re sorry to hear that your experience with the Nest Cam (battery) has been below your satisfaction. We understand your decision to return it.

You’ll find other ways to optimize the battery life of your camera here:: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10901611

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These cameras were easy to mount and easy to connect thru the google home app. The view is clear and I am able to zoom in with clarity. I am using them outdoors and they have performed great, down to 8 deg F so far. The price for a multipack during a sale they had made it an easy decision.

Did not dissapoint
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent camera. Easy to set up, you can set it up in minutes.
I would recommend this to a friend Love these security cameras!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We stuck one on our metal front door and one on our metal carport. So that meant no installation necessary. We love being able to keep an eye on our doors for deliveries and the odd visiting dogs and cats (which you can turn off notifications for if you want, but still see in the history). Found out the neighbors dog came to our house at 2:00 in the morning for a drink while his mom was waiting for him to come back inside - oops. Charge is fast and easy!
