    The camera itself is okay but seems all Google Next cameras have some kind of connection issues. I had to disable some settings in my router to make the connection stable. For outdoor camera like this, maybe would consider different options for better connectivity.

    I love how I can see everything on my porch with this camera and all the way to the road. The notifications are great to I get it right away. The only problem is battery life. But if you use a solar panel plug or outdoor plug it then it records 24/7 and you don’t have to plug it in every three days.

    Been a good experience overall. There have been a couple instances where I wanted to go back to a specific event. But there was a drop in events. Like 2 minutes before the event and then it picks up several minutes later. Happened pretty few and far between times. But I have 6 devices so I can’t really complain too much.

    OK if no outside outlet, but Wired Nest Cam better

    Good if there is no outside electrical outlet. It's a bit of a pain when it gets colder and you have to recharge more often. Also, I had a better experience with the Nest/ Google Home App with the Wired Nest Cameras in the past, as they allow you to track longer than 3-4 hours (Wired version lets you store up to 14 days I believe.)

      Hi there VxxS, thanks for sharing your experience with us on Nest Cam (Battery). We're sorry to hear that you're recharging it more than usual, during the colder season.

      During winter, the battery life of Nest Doorbell (Battery) may have less than half the life that it has at temperatures close to -4°F (-20°C). Keep in mind that the battery life may vary since it will still depend on factors including activity, temperature, and selected camera settings.

      Nest Cam (battery) can accommodate up to 10 days of continuous video recording (CVR) and 24/7 video history, and you can even get 60 days of event video history, if hardwired to power and subscribed to Nest Aware Plus ($12 a month for all of your cameras, speakers, and displays on the same home structure).

      Please consider contacting our support team for any other questions or support concerns you would like us to address with your Google Nest products. We'd be happy to assist you here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Love how easy it was to setup and have integrated into a Google Home. Great battery life. The only downside is the range for how far away movement will trigger a recording event. I have a driveway about 60ft from the mounting point on the house and it seems like the max distance movement will trigger a recording is 30ft.

      Hello there, Tyler. It’s great to hear that the setup of your Nest Cam (battery) went easy, and that you like its battery life. We hear your concern about the event detection feature.

      Event detection depends on the camera settings that you select. You can choose which events your camera or doorbell 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. You can also change the settings like adjusting video quality, wake-up sensitivity, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas.

      You can contact us anytime at the Google Nest Help Page if more help is needed: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    I purchased this because I wanted to mount it in a place where I couldn't easily get power to. So far so good. Battery life seems to be great. Got it and installed it the day it was released and still have an estimated 4 months of battery life left. Impressed with the picture quality and ability to pick-up motion and determine if it's an animal or person.
