Great job google.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Zero issues with this device. The lack of power cable allowed me to put cameras where I needed without all the extra work. I think I’m going on 30 days or so with no battery issues.

Posted .Hi Greg, it’s great to have your feedback, and we’re glad that the Nest Cam (battery) meets your expectations. We’re focused on giving our customers value for the price, including three hours of event history right out of the box for the first time ever. On-device processing also gives our customers smart alerts and Activity Zones, which historically have required a subscription. There's no fee to stream full resolution live video and receive basic notifications, as long as your camera is connected to the internet. However, you’ll need a Nest Aware subscription to receive advanced notifications. With a Nest Aware subscription your video will be saved to the cloud and you’ll get extra features. Find out more what you can get with the Nest Aware subscription here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9233159

Not sure what they were thinking.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased today and will return tomorrow. Some genius though that it would be a good idea to make a security camera with a battery and not include charging cables. There is 3' cable for the two cameras. So, when the battery runs out you will need to pull your ladder back out and take the camera down and charge it then put it back OR you can spend $40 in a separate purchase for a longer charging cable. Will happily return tomorrow.

Ok camera happered by bad software and poor design
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Software needs to be better, the wifi radio in it is a little weak. The plug for the power cable is fragile, making wiring it a pain.

Posted .Hi there, Xandrius. We appreciate your feedback on the Nest Cam (battery). We hear your concerns, and we’re sorry that your experience is below your expectations. We’d be happy to share this with the right team as we’re constantly looking to improve the reliability, usability, and use of various features. Meanwhile, although you can connect your camera to a power outlet with the included power adapter for continuous power to keep the battery charged, the power adapter included is not weatherproof and not intended for outdoor use. We recommend using a compatible weatherproof cable (sold separately) instead.

Held back by the Google Home app
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've found the notifications to be much more accurate and much quicker than my previous Nest Cam Outdoors. That's where the good ends. The Google Home app holds these cameras back and can't even compare to the Nest app. The app was nowhere ready for this launch and Google made a huge mistake forcing the use of the Home app. On another note, if you wire one of these up for 24/7 video and you're expecting continuous scrubbing like in the Nest app, you'll be very disappointed.

Posted .Hi Brett, thanks for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with the Google Home app and the continuous video recording for your Nest Cam (Battery).
We wanted to make the Google Home app the one place where you can control all your favorite Nest devices and other smart home devices with the Google Assistant. Here are some benefits you can get by using the Google Home app with your Nest Cam (Battery):
- Automatic security protections such as Suspicious activity detection, 2-Step Verification and Security Checkup.
- Your Google Nest devices and services will work together. For example, if you have a Nest Cam and a Nest Hub, just say, "Hey Google, show me the backyard camera” to cast your camera stream to your display without any additional setup.
- One account to sign into both the Nest and Google Home apps.
- Your homes and home members will be aligned across the Nest and Google Home apps.
We'd like to hear more about your experience, including your concerns with the 24/7 video recording option when you hardwire your Nest Cam (Battery). You can check with our support team and we'll gladly help you out, if you can reach out to us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
