Third camera. Needed to replace
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a third camera that needed to be replaced because the battery discharges even though it is continuously plugged in. Paid electricians to check outlets. All pointed to camera issues. Google was no help and equally save on internet that others experienced problems. Works now after getting a new camera. Not sure for how long. Would not get this camera brand again.

Don't Work with NEST NATIVE APP
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this camera through my Nest Native App, Easy to install, but when trying to pair with my Native Nest App it won't connect instead it redirected me to Google Home App, I don't like Google Home App to cluttered, I already have other Nest products connected to my Native Nest App. This camera shouldn't be called NEST CAMERA if it doesn't work with Nest Native App. This is unprofessional business from Google. I returned the Camera.

Great items

I would recommend this to a friendTrash video quality. Bad design choices. Don't get
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nope. Massive step backwards here. I'm highly disappointed that any reviews even talked fondly of this product. Maybe Google threw them money because the only thing that makes these Nest cams is the plastic shell, the rest is garbage. Looks like the old nest cams but the video quality is hot dog pile. You can't view the cam within the Nest app along side any other Nest cameras. Charging cable plug projects forward instead of backwards for a clean wired install. Did I mention the video quality is TRASH? Seriously, just go buy a 10 year old smart phone and use that as a smart camera instead it's way cheaper. You can absolutely do better than this camera. (See my comment about repurposing an old cheap smartphone install Alfred and volia cheap wireless, or wired faux 1080p security cam) The Google integration is not enough for me to keep this super over priced potato. I am very deep in the Google eco system, wifi, hello, protect, cams, secure, hubs, speakers, even have a nest aware subscription and this camera is just NOT GOOD. Thanks Google for pushing me just a little closer to finally setting up Home Assistant and moving to a completely localized smart home system. Again, this camera is not the one you're looking for.

Posted .Hi StanleyBird, we appreciate your feedback on the new Nest Cam (Battery). We do apologize to hear about your disappointment with the video quality and the Google Home app.
Your Nest Cam (Battery) supports Up to 1080p at 30 frames/sec with High Dynamic Range (HDR) video quality that’s optimized for a clear view in bright sun or dark. However, if you see a lesser video quality than what is prescribed, we recommend checking for possible congestion in your network, or that your bandwidth may not be sufficient. Removing some of your connected devices may help relieve some bandwidth space, and you may check if you still experience any drop with the video quality. Verifying congestion may require you to contact your Internet service provider to check your connection and upgrade it if needed.
Using the Google Home with a Google Account gives you access to our trusted security features, and seamless integration with other Google Nest devices, and Google Assistant. However, we´ve taken note of the details of your feedback and make sure to pass it along to the right team since we´re always looking for ways to improve our products and services.
We're always just a click away to help you with your support needs. Feel free to contact us at your convenience when you visit the Google Nest help page: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
Not as good as before!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have 4 older camera's with the Nest App and they are 5 star. You can scroll back the footage to see anything you want. I just purchased 5 new Nest Cameras which require Google Home App. With this app, you can only review if there is movement. Which is an awful feature and NOT useful.

Posted .Hi there, JohnH. Sorry to see the Nest Cam (Battery) wasn’t quite what you were expecting. For clarification, the Nest Cam (Battery) is able to record up to 10 days of 24/7 video history if you have the
Nest Aware Plus subscription and the device is connected to a power source. Check out this guide for more information: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9681538

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very disappointed with the performance of this camera!!! Set up event zones multiple times per instructions and they would never work correctly. Camera would detect car or person going away from camera but never coming towards camera. Camera now has went offline and will not reconnect with wi fi and seems unresponsive even with full charge. Camera is only a month old
