Excellent value
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Watches our whole front yard, and alerts when anyone walks up to the house. Just what we needed.
I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Compatibility
Not compatible with Nest mobile app
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are an existing Nest ecosystem user, do not buy any new google nest cameras. For some reason, they aren't compatible with the Nest App. You will need to use the Google Home app. However, the Google Home app UI is horrible. What's even more odd is that the new video doorbell and YaleXNest smart deadbolt work with the Nest App. It sucks that you can't use the Nest App as it's way better than the Google App.

Posted .Hi SeattleGuy77, we really appreciate you for letting us know of your experience with using the Nest Cam (Battery) and the Google Home app but are sorry that it was a disappointment for you.
We’re aware 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. 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're always here to help you improve your experience. If you have any issue with your Nest Cam (Battery) and using it effectively in the Google Home app, please feel free to find us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
wish i had the nest iq outdoor
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.the camera itself is just ok. the app is garbage. i have nest hello and nest indoor, and the nest app is superior to that google app. i can still use the nest app for my other to devices. i had both apps open on two different tablets, and for some reason the google app would constantly say connecting, or something went wrong, while the nest app continued working properly. and yes the app itself is enough for me to return (or atleast thinking about it since i have 1 month to try out). REALLY REALLY wished i hadn't took procrastinated on the outdoor nest iq that it passed by and now im kinda stuck with this device.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am so happy to get this installed on my back porch. I am now able to see activities in my backyard and with the ring doorbell, I can see activities in the front of my house.
I would recommend this to a friendHorrible quality video
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am beyond disappointed. 2 nest outdoor, one cam indoor, two iq cams, two nest hub max, one nest hub. Obviously, I like nest. This camera is HORRIBLE. One charging cable in the box, you CANNOT use the nest app. How is my wife supposed to check on our animals? She cannot access the cameras. The worst part is the camera quality, what a joke! The quality is worse than 1980 POE cameras. Paris Hilton had better quality in the dark. Google will lose my business if this is where they are heading. They are making mistake after mistake with Nest. So stupid.

Posted .Hi Crazybear88, thanks for sharing your feedback on the Nest Cam (Battery). We're sorry to hear that the experience has not been ideal for you.
You can adjust the video quality in the settings to balance high resolution video with longer battery life and lower bandwidth use. For optimal video quality at 1080p, an internet connection upload speed with at least 2 Mbps per camera is recommended (DSL may not qualify). Please check the steps below:
- Open the Home app Google Home app.
- Select your camera.
- Tap Settings Video.
- Under “Video quality,” tap High.
New Nest cameras and doorbells are exclusive to the Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience. 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.
Also, it only takes around 4-5 hours to fully charge the Nest Cam (battery). If you need 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 5m or 10m) to keep your Nest Cam connected.
