      Hi Garvin, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to learn that the new Nest Cam (battery) didn’t meet your expectations.

      The new Nest Cam (battery) is exclusive to the Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience. 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. Users with older cameras can view their camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new 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.

      Your patronage and satisfaction is what drives us in improving our products and services. If you have any questions or concerns, you can always reach out to our support team. We’d be more than happy to help here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

      Hi there, DevinM. Thanks for sharing your feedback on Nest Cam (battery), and we’re sorry to hear about your experience. This camera works best in environments between -4°F and 104°F (-20°C and 40°C). Avoid extreme temperatures as they can damage the device. While the camera is built to handle rain, dust, and other outdoor elements (IP54 rating), it's not waterproof. Don't immerse it in water or expose it to heavy rain for extended periods. Weather resistance can decline over time due to wear and tear, repairs, or damage, so make sure not to submerge the camera or expose it to direct liquids. This can cause short circuits and overheating. The charging cable isn't weatherproof either, so keep it protected from moisture.

      We’d be happy to help you in any way we can. You can contact us anytime so we can investigate your concern and provide you with assistance here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Terrible waste of plastic

    This "sounded good at first" but didn't work out at all. I may try to return it even if packaging is messed up (worst they can say is no). Has a lot of 'neat sounding features' like face recognition, however -- within 1 day of setting this camera up, the app lost track of my camera (it was either deleted from my account or who knows what happened). I would've had to try to re-add it again. Of course, the "brilliant design idea" (Sarcasm intended) they had was to require a piece of paper with a QR code, it is very easy to lose a QR Code not on the camera itself (Amazon's Ring cameras have QR codes on the device itself, much smarter folks at amazon than google, they're efficient too I hear, best of both worlds). I cannot rely on being able to use a camera that might lose connections over and over again, with a paper card being required separate this thing is begging to become landfill. If I had to name it's worst feature, I do not spot any buttons on it, no power button, no factory reset, no pair with wifi/bluetoth/sync, none of that. If it is "charged" (as probably some google folks should be, with a crime perhaps), it does its thing and the user seems to have no "control". 1-star selected only because "0" wasn't an obvious option (if it is an option, maybe offer to place a parenthesis after the star graphic and show number selected).

    There was no charging cable in the box. The package had a checklist which said cable is present . But none received. Called their customer support and supervisor team several times and asked for help. But no one helped. Poor experience and pathetic support. Overall what a bad experience

    Don’t waste your money. Have owned these for barely over a year. Recently had to change wifi router and password. These will not reconnect. Multiple factory resets, days wasted trying to figure it out. Just good for dummy cameras now. Sad and pathetic. Go with any other brand but these,

      Hi there, DJmigra. Thanks for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you're having some difficulty connecting Nest Cam (Battery) after changing your router.

You may want to check on your router's specification and security encryption that you're using. If the issue isn't related to either the Wi-Fi specification or security encryption, then we may need to have a close look at your device. We value your experience with our products and we'd like to offer the best help possible.
