Posted .Hi there, GerrardL. Sorry you’re having trouble with battery life on the Nest Cam (Battery). Battery consumption will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and selected camera settings. On average here’s how long the battery will last on a single charge:
Busy - About 1 month battery life (about 25 - 30 recorded events per day)
Typical - About 2.5 months battery life (about 13 - 16 recorded events per day)
Quiet - About 6 months battery life (about 2 - 5 recorded events per day)
Here’s a few tips to conserve battery:
1. Optimize its video quality.
2. Shorten the length of time for which events are recorded.
3. Take longer to begin recording between events.

These are the best cameras!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm not sure why these cameras get such a bad review. After having Blink Cameras for almost a year they started to go out, have connection issues and everything. I can only compare the Nest cam against the Blink cameras, and the difference is night and day. I had a problem with people driving across my lawn, and Blink cameras couldn't activate fast enough to record it. I needed something that has continuous recording and Nest cam has done the job! 24 hours a day recording and smart motion alerts telling me if it's an animal, person or vehicle. That's pretty darn cool to me. Also, with Blink, only one person could view a camera at a time.... that's crazy. If you are viewing your backyard camera, your front yard camera won't work... they don't tell you that in the description. Not with Google. You can monitor all your cameras in real time at once from your phone, Nest Hub or computer! The cameras are a bit pricier, but... you get what you pay for. Most people don't want or need 24 hour recording... I love it!

Back to google home from HomeKit.

Disappointed with constantly charging battery
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great camera. I bought them because I needed a camera that I didn’t need to have plugged in all the time. The salesperson told me it would be months between charges. I have to charge it every night overnight. Which is a hassle and defeats the purpose of having a camera round the clock if it’s charging overnight.

Great picture Quality!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A Best Buy Tech recently installed our two Google Nest Cams in the front and back of our house. The picture quality is very clear during the day or night. The Cams alert us on our phone if someone comes within range. We are happy to have this added security protection.

Great investment
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Picture is better quality than I thought it would be. Sound is great also. I also like that fact that I can change the angle of the camera. I have had no problem with them magnets. The magnets are very strong holding the cameras up.

Good concept. Not well executed for busy areas.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Battery is not good at all. Charging once a week at this point. Only have people notifications on. Cords are not long enough if you have in a tough area. Charging is so slow for 2022. A few hours. Then it doesn't last long. You want to install this in a easy access spot hopefully with an outlet nearby. Video says 1080p, but when I look at downloaded recordings. Blurry with any zoom. Does not detect people walk right near it at my place. But someone across the street I will get a notification. Not a bad option. But google home doesn't have much to offer regarding settings or video. Cannot even view videos on computer like Nest.

Posted .Hi jetsareokay, we truly appreciate our feedback on Nest Cam (battery), and are sorry to learn your expectations are not met.
Your Nest doorbell could be detecting a lot of activities, as the battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and doorbell settings that you select. You can extend the battery life of your doorbell by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas. This link might be helpful: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10901611
It only takes around 4-5 hours to fully charge the Nest Cam (battery). And to avoid charging the battery more often than you should, you might want to consider connecting your camera to a power outlet with the included or optional power adapter. Connecting to continuous power will keep the battery charged. Please note that the power adapter included with the Nest Cam (battery) is not weatherproof and not intended for outdoor use and you can use a compatible weatherproof cable (sold separately).
We request for your patience as we’re working on a seamless solution to create a better user experience. Meanwhile, we suggest having the latest version of the Google Home app that may improve camera playback controls to make it easier to play, pause, and navigate between events from the camera history view for cameras set up in the Google Home app.
Your feedback and experience are important to us. If you’re willing, please get in touch with our specialists team so we can guide you with structured troubleshooting procedures, here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10901611

Posted .Hi there Shel, thanks for reaching out. Colder temperatures greatly affect the battery life for any device, including Nest Cam (Battery). And during winter, the battery life of Nest Cam (Battery) may have less than half the life that it has at temperatures close to -4°F (-20°C).

Posted .Hi Whynotnow, thanks for taking the time to share your insights. It's great to hear that you liked the video quality of Nest Cam (Battery) and that you had an easy time setting it up. We're sorry to hear about the short battery life you are experiencing.
The battery life for Nest Cam (Battery) 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.

Typical: About 2.5 months battery life (About 13 - 16 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'd like to help you further with your support needs if the issue persists. Please feel free to contact any of our support agents here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
