Great outdoor camera
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great camera for day and night views. I did get the cord to have it plugged in 24/7 due to higher traffic area. I also have one in my garage and I haven’t had to charge the camera battery yet.

A very nice
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review. I really really nice upgrade from the drop cam pro that I own. I just wish those would also work with the system, but this works really smoothly with the new Google app Google Home so I’m giving it a go.

||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We switched from the Arlo system which was terribly buggy and took forever to load so this was an upgrade in that sense. They also look fantastic! Only issue is that the quality of the video could be better, things that are not up close are rather blurry - no way I could read a license plate with a recording but I could probably describe the car color/make/model.

Posted .Hey there, lmondot. We’re glad that you like the Nest Cam (battery), and we appreciate you sharing your concern about its video quality. We suggest adjusting your cameras’ video quality that can improve the resolution. The higher the video quality setting you choose, the sharper and more detailed your footage can be, but it also uses more of your internet bandwidth. This setting lets you choose the maximum video quality for your cameras. And whichever level you pick, your camera will automatically adjust its resolution and compression according to how much bandwidth is available.

Works as descrbied
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The camera is easy to set up. Given that they run on batteries, you can practically set them up anywhere inside or outside the house. I've set mine up near our front door, and another in front of our garage. The batteries seem to be pretty good. Only charged them up once so far, and they're still good for another few weeks; and I have them for a few weeks already.

If it's on sale, I suppose. But disappointed.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's ok. I expected better. It doesn't seem to allow me to hook it up to the old nest app where my doorbell is connected. The nest app lets me keep record all the time. The google app only records when it is triggered and simply is not as useful as the doorbell camera, in comparison. Also, if you don't plan on having it always plugged in, it also kinda sucks.

Posted .Hi UserX, thanks for sharing the details of your feedback on Nest Cam (battery), and we’re sorry to hear your expectations are not met.
The new Nest cameras and doorbell are exclusive to the Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience with your speakers and displays, your favorite Nest and other smart home devices, and Google Assistant. In the near future, we’ll allow users to set up previous Nest devices and have full control, as our team is working on bringing full functionality to the Google Home app.
We’re not moving away from 24/7 video history. Our goal is to give users more choice. With event video history, we wanted our products to help you understand what’s going on at home easily and highlight the important activity for you. If you want to see everything that happens at home, we offer 24/7 video history on wired Nest Cams with a Nest Aware Plus subscription. We continue to invest in the use of both technologies.

Poor battery life is a deal breaker
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Happy with the picture quality and cloud features, as I have several other Nest cameras. Battery life was abysmal though. Getting a non-wired camera I knew I would need to charge the camera every once in a while. But it felt like every few days I was getting the notification that my camera battery was low. I ended up returning the cameras.

Nest Cams
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall good cameras. Over time the charging cable has issues connecting well to the small contacts so you have to clean them each time you pull the camera down.

Posted .Hey there, JFred. We’re glad you’re enjoying the Nest Cam (Battery). That being said, we hear your concern with having to clean the connector. Over time, your outdoor camera may collect dust, pollen, water spots, and other debris. Here’s how to clean it properly:
1. Unplug your camera from the power outlet.
2. Moisten a soft cloth with water and a little dish soap.
3. Hold your camera steady and gently wipe its surface clean with a cloth. Keep soap off the lens.
4. Rinse the cloth and wipe down the surfaces again to remove any remaining soap.
5. Plug your camera back in.

An Outdoor Camera?
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is not exactly what I was expecting when I purchased it but it has turned out to be something I'm enjoying. The thing that really stood out for me was in the instructions where it mentions that the camera is not waterproof, only weatherproof. Hmm... an outdoor camera that isn't waterproof?? Maybe I didn't read the description carefully enough before I bought it. I ended up finding a protected spot for it that works well but that really stunned me. After a month of use, so far, so good.

Don't waste your money on this camera
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camera sucks. I have 2 outdoor Nest wired cameras and I absolutely love them. I bought those years ago before Google and Nest merged. First, this camera cannot be added to your Nest app. I have read that the Nest app is going away and the Google home app will be the new one to use, but the Google home app sucks. The Nest app shows your cameras in one view when you open it. On the Google home app, you have to click on the camera to see the views. That's too many clicks and I can't see all my cameras in one view like on the Nest app. Second, the battery life sucks! We get maybe 5-6 days of battery out of this camera. Charging it once a week is just not feasible. I read online that this camera is a Google camera with a Nest logo and I feel like that's accurate. This is not as high-quality as my other Nest cameras. If I could return it, I would.

Awesome
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The battery life on these is amazing to say the least. Battery lasts longer than my ring doorbell by a long shot and quality is great
I would recommend this to a friend Great camera with a couple of cons
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have one other, both work great. Only complaint is they are easy to steal and you need to buy extra parts to secure it. Only other thing is having to pay for a subscription, I don't mind paying but $8 a month is a little high when you can get others for free.
