Great cameras
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I set up one camera with wire and the other via battery. Battery life is OK, but I would recommend wiring if possible. I was a little bummed that they dont work with the legacy Nest app or online portal, but the legacy cameras do show up in Google Hime. Takes a little time to get used to it.

Posted .Hello there, BLTPHX. Thanks for sharing your experience with using the Nest Cam (battery). We’re sorry to hear that using the Home app, to control and manage your camera settings, is below your preference.
We’re aware that longtime Nest users enjoy viewing their Nest camera feeds from the Nest app. However, the Nest Cam (battery) is exclusive to the Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience with our other Google Nest devices. We also wanted to make the Google Home app as the one place you can control all your favorite Nest and other smart home devices with the Google Assistant. Other benefits include the following:
- Automatic security protections such as Suspicious activity detection, 2-Step Verification and Security Checkup.
- Your Google Nest devices and services will work together.
- 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.
If you need help with using the camera in the Home app effectively, please let us know by visiting here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Decent Camera
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very easy to install and setup in the Google home app. Satisfied with video quality and overall product. Very very disappointed in the lack of integration with the nest app. Unfortunately I’m all in on the meet cameras. If I were in the position that this was my first camera purchase I would definitely buy into the Arlo family.

Good cameras with great picture, meh battery
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good cameras with great picture with not the most amazing battery life. Good for areas with less interactions or reasons for the camera to toggle on and off. You can permantly plug these in however, which is how one of these is setup.

Pretty good, but not IQ
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Quality better than expected and battery life pretty good, quality not as good as the old nest cam IQs but the install and use is really easy, wish there was a way to hide the power cable, right now it’s exposed so could be cut, but also it’s battery operated so won’t cut the feed. The magnet is ridiculously strong though so it works pretty well and easy to adjust. New price point is good though

Decent camera 7.5/10
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good camera. Not so good night quality 7/10 here. Change lasts a while depending how often the camera sees something. The more it sees something the more battery it uses. Try to keep out of direct sun and rain too. Really easy to use on the smart phone

Great device, just doen't fit my need.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Im giving this a 4 star. It would have been 5 if it fit my purpose but not giving it a 1 because it doen't fit my need. We got this to replace the wired camera that we use to monitor my sons room. I fully charged it before use and it hasnt been a full day yet and I'm down to 60%. I like the quality & video clarity and features though. I'm taking them back because its just not for us.

Posted .Hi 19ant89, we're glad to hear that you like Nest Cam (Battery). We're sorry to hear about the fast discharging issue you are experiencing.
Battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. Users can extend the battery life of their camera by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas. Here are some typical scenarios for your Nest Cam (Battery):
Busy: About 1.5 months battery life (about 20 - 25 recorded events per day)
Typical: About 3 months battery life (about 9 - 12 recorded events per day)
Quiet: About 7 months battery life (about 2 - 4 recorded events per day)
We recommend checking the frequency of events (per day) that you get with your Nest Cam (Battery). If the short battery life isn´t related to the frequency of events, then we may need to have a closer look at your device and understand what may be causing it. We recommend contacting our support team for further assistance by visiting us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Misses way too much action
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super disappointed in the performance of this camera. The video quality is great, when it actually captures video. I have this mounted above the garage door to watch our driveway, I would say that it picks up about 70% of the actual movement that goes by the camera. Many times we have come home and completely misses the car pulling in the garage. When it does capture an event, it misses the first half of the action almost every time. I have all the settings to max out the amount of video over battery. Just can't count on it capturing everything like our Nest doorbell. That doorbell performs like I hoped this would. Would NOT get this again if I had the choice.

Posted .Hi Justin, thanks for sharing your feedback with our support team. We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with the camera performance for Nest Cam (Battery).
Motion detection on Nest Cam (Battery) can be affected by changes in the light level, and shadows moving across the frame like when a cloud moves in front of the sun. This also includes other movements within the camera's field of view like trees or bushes swaying. If you're not getting any alerts or notifications, we recommend trying out the steps below:
1. Change the Activity Zones on your camera. You can delete your existing Activity Zone and create a new one in any area within your camera's field of view. Just make sure that none of the zones you create overlap.
2. Change the angle of your camera and account for the lighting in the surrounding area.
3. Restart your Camera.
We'd like to help you troubleshoot the motion detection issue further with your Nest Cam (Battery). If you´re willing to try, please contact our support team so we can provide further assistance using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Why only a single charging chord with two cameras?
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would have given this item 5 stars but the two pack only came with a single charging cord. This was not made clear in the product marketing so a little misleading. Bad on Google. Cameras are solid.

Posted .Hello there, Tucett. Thanks for sharing your experience with Nest Cam (battery). We’re sorry to hear of your issues with the event detection and recording features. We suggest checking each of the camera settings so you can choose which events your cameras can detect and record (people, motion, package, etc.). From there, you (and each member of your home) can decide which of those events to get notifications for. If an event is turned off, you won’t get notifications for that kind of activity. Using activity zones to monitor specific areas can also help.
We can also check if there’s anything that causes your cameras to behave differently, and we welcome you to contact us anytime here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
