Meh. Wouldn't buy again.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Picture is nice and the app is okay. Cant hear audio during playback in the app and audio doesnt reach as far as other cameras out there (when i can actually hear it). For the amount I paid for these i would expect better.

My camera
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to setup and excellent pictures. You should get the solar charging system if you don't like climbing latters to recharge the cameras.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to install and fit nicely where we needed it to. Battery is good, if it’s in a busy area you might have to charge more frequently but it does an amazing job. Always make sure to check setting for video for how often clips are taken.

Good cameras
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The cameras install easy, are easy to contact to wfi, and have good coverage. The battery life, so far, is less than I expected but may improve as I get the zones better calibrated.

Needs app integration
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great camera for all intensive purposes but google really needs to step up the integration between the nest app and the home app. Features aren’t available depending on which app you are using and can be particularly confusing if you have cameras from the previous generation.

It’s up but not totally satisfied
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well it is a pain two different apps. Need to charge every 10 days. Needed to buy solar panels. Bulky. Paid for install and they just screwed it in the place it’s magnetically sticks. Don’t pay for install waste of money.

Posted .Hi there, we appreciate your insights on Nest Cam (Battery). We're sorry for any disappointment you may be having with the battery issue and the move to the Google Home app.
We wanted to make the Google Home app the one place where you can control all your favorite Google 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.
- You may set up your older Nest cameras to the Google Home app. Check out this help article: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9893532
We recommend checking the frequency of events (per day) that you get with your Nest Cam (Battery), since 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)
If the short battery life isn´t related to the frequency of events, then we'd like to take a closer look at your device and understand what may be causing it. You may contact our support team for further assistance by visiting us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
Very useful and easy to install

Love My Nest Camera Set up!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Quality on the cameras is amazing! Easy set up & accessibility when I'm not home are part of the reasons why i went with the nest products.

I love these.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These work so well, and have clear video! I got one to watch for wildlife, one for my garage and one for my driveway. My only complaint is when you turn on notifications, you get on average, 3 per camera, per event. I need to figure out the event notifications… otherwise they work great! I paired with the Wasserstein solar panels and I haven’t had to charge at all!

Get the job done
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needs more battery life because I've had it for less than a year and have had to charge them about 8 times already. They also get knocked off line easily for no apparent reason. Great quality and viewing range.

Posted .Hello there, JayT. Thanks for sharing your experience with the Nest Cam (battery). We’re glad that you like its quality and viewing range, but we're sorry to hear you ran into these issues with the battery life along with its magnetic mount. We’d be happy to share your feedback with the right team for future improvements
Meanwhile, the battery life depends on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. You can extend the battery life of your camera by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas. Check this link for more details: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10901611
Also, we suggest using the secure loop accessory, which is a cable that connects your camera to the magnetic mount and will help prevent your camera from falling if it gets knocked off the mount. If your Nest Cam (battery) did not include a secure loop in the box, please contact us to request one. Alternatively, you can use the Wasserstein anti-theft mount, which can be available at your retailer, and provides anti-theft protection in addition to anti-drop protection.
If there’s anything we can help you with, please contact us anytime using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Soccer mom
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We originally wanted 2 cameras but since there was a sale for 3 we spent a little extra. 2 are mounted outdoors and we kept the other 1 indoor to monitor the dog when we leave her alone. If she starts to bark or howl due to loneliness, we can talk to her on our phone app which gives her reassurance. The cameras are very clear on our phone app and we can also hear very well. It's a great product that took little installation.

Very solid outdoor webcam without subscription
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a ring and after a year I did t want to pay the subscription fees every year. After some research I found this one and I actually liked it. Here are the reasons 1. You don't want to pay the subscription and you don't need to check/tore video way back in the timeline 2. Solid build (in fact heavier than others) and the battery runs 6 weeks (within 25-50F ranges) 3. The video quality is good and I really like face recognition feature 4. I like the integration with nest hub display where I can watch the live feed with voice command On the flip side, it might look expensive to begin with but the subscription cost from other devices will help you to decide. The setup with the nest app can be tricky so follow the steps carefully and contact support online if you get any problem but don't skip any steps.
