Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love these cameras. I miss the Nest app. I am not a fan of the google home app. This new camera does not come with an outdoor cord which I think is ridiculous to have to pay for an outdoor cord when purchasing this expensive outdoor camera. The camera itself is great. The battery life is terrible and it cannot 24 hour record or even recors sound events with just a battery.

Google cams is great. Easy set up and nice slick design. Only issue I had, was the battery. Last up to 3 months, you have fiddle with the settings. Otherwise buy extra plugs to charge into an outlet.

These cameras are really just "ok." Their main advantage is the easy installation/setup and their native integration into the Google Home app. I bought these cameras to supplement my Google Nest IQ cameras and Nest Hello that I bought a few years ago, and these are a major step down in terms of quality. The picture is not that great, especially while on battery power. They are battery operated with the option of upgrading to power with the purchase of an additional cord (not included). If you run them off the battery, you will not be able to see a live view unless you turn the camera on. On battery, they only capture and record triggers-- which, if that is what you want and you are not already committed to Nest, there are much better options out there (like the eufyCam 2 Pro which come with a 365-day battery vs the 2 months of Battery Nest Cam). NOTE: If you are already a Nest user like me, you should know that these cameras do not work with the Nest app. They can only be viewed/installed in the Google Home app or on your Google Hub device. You will be able to see all of your Nest cameras in the Home app, but not vice versa.

Video quality is good, easy to set up and easy to connect to app, no subcription needed to be able to use it

These are the best cameras I have ever used. With the nest subscription being able to look at my live video for 30 days and motion for 60 days and when I have it plugged in, you can see 24 seven recording not many other cameras offer that. Super easy to use and set up. I even have multiple cameras set up at different homes and it lets you create tabs for each home and give access to each person that lives in that home without them being able to see every camera which is an amazing feature.

Great pictures easy to install easy to set up. It looks really good on a side of the house.

I’ve read a lot of reviews I’ve these cameras since I purchased them. I wanted to take time and test for myself for several months before coming up with my own opinion. If you use these wired, these cameras are GREAT! Not perfect but they are solid and the service works well. Google needs to do a lot to update their Google home app but I’m not going to demote these cameras because of the app, that’s what the AppStore feedback is for. Alerting works well and quickly it face recognition with these cameras are not always accurate. An example would be the cameras kept flagging one of my kids as our neighbor and they look nothing alike! As a stand alone battery camera, they are not that great. I spent a lot of time tweaking the camera settings, motion sensitivity and everything else in between and there were just a lot of inconsistencies. I tested with myself and the kiddos walking and running around the yard and sometimes it would see them, but most often I would get any hits. I also noticed it would capture an event unless you were with 12 feet, regardless of the sensitivity adjustments. I was really disappointed by this as I really wanted to use battery mode for the backyard and wired cameras for the front. Hopefully the next gen cameras solve this problem. So for me, as camera, YES! Battery camera, no to meh, at your own risk.

Works well. Easy to install and get recording. Plug in and works with app.

I like the quality but would rather have wired. It is nice to have the wireless but recharging the battery is time consuming.

Quality of the Camera is what I've come to expect from Google/Nest but just keep in mind the battery life has a LOT of variability to it. Recommend a 3rd party solar panel or just going for the wired model otherwise you can be spending an annoying amount of time taking it down to charge.

When ADT originally installed all of my cameras at my home, I paid close attention. Because a part of my front area of the house was not covered, I opted to purchase another camera from Best Buy, which matched the rest of my cameras. I first programmed it into the system inside And completed a full charge. It may be confusing because these are battery cameras but you do keep them plugged in so the battery remains charged. I had to order a longer charge line because the line which comes with the camera is very short. Thankfully this additional charge Line and plug was not very expensive. I mapped out my installation and then proceeded to drill a hole through the front of my garage above the big garage door. I routed the cord and plugged it into a dedicated outlet in the garage. I then attached the magnet camera to the base and installed the safety line just in case the camera was knocked off the base. The camera works just as the rest of them do which were professionally installed. If this 70 year-old lady can do it, then I bet you can too.

I purchased these for a family member who had the unfortunate experience of dealing with a neighbor who has anger issues and I must admit, I am impressed. Google has always been my go to when it came to cameras and other such hardware but these cameras in particular provide you with a very clear view of whatever it is you are monitoring. The handy magnet mounts are perfect and the fact that they do not require a power cord makes it all the more handy. They seem to hold a charge for about a month and than you'll have to recharge them again for about four hours. Other than this, I am completely happy with my purchase.

Not a bad product. The only issue is the connection from the app. Not the best.

This is a small price to pay for the sense of security this camera offers! Easy to install and provides a very nice image!!

good at home for seeing outside, however, not WIFI connected so very limited access if your not at home.

These cameras work like a charm. Pretty easy to program and install (if you hire Best Buy to do it.) Low monthly fee to store video via Google Home.

Good, no more, the quality is good.But it disconnects followed by your WiFi network.

A flexible, smart, and capable home security camera that delivers excellent video quality and intuitive smart features, with battery life that varies by use case.

Purchased to replace wired cameras. Was able to install with ease. Good video quality

Great for price and easy set up Slight lag between notifications and ehat takes place onnthe camerea however. But on live video its perfevt
