    Picked these up open box "excellent". I had been keeping an eye out for a sale, but i never found one. Received a gift card for BB. These were easy to install, charge, and load onto my "Home". Hardware for multiple mounting situations. Batteries last approx 3-4 months depending on triggered recordings. I love being able to see my property at any time with these.

    It mostly works. It goes offline every now and then for no apparent reason. Wi-Fi signal is strong where it is mounted, so there should be no problem. Picture is good and sensitivity is fine.

      Hi there, AndreL. Thanks for the feedback. We’re glad that you like the picture quality and sensitivity of the Nest Cam (battery). It’s unfortunate to hear that your experience with its connectivity is less than ideal.

      We recommend checking for objects such as mirrors and refrigerators between the cameras and your router as these items could block the connection. If you have a good Wi-Fi connection but the camera is offline, this can happen if the device gets too hot or too cold, and can be avoided by these:
      - Your camera should not be exposed to direct sunlight
      - Avoid placing your camera near objects that can cause overheating like light bulbs, lamps, large equipment/appliances, air vents, etc. Your camera needs good air circulation. Never install it in any kind of small box or enclosure as this can cause overheating.
      - If mounted outdoors, you can install it under an eave or overhang, or even install a small shade above it.

      If the issue persists, we’d be happy to help you in any way we can and you’ll find us always available here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Would be 5star but google decided to tweak the resolution and brightness with an update. Now the colors are washed out but night vision is very good. Still the cameras work very well have 5 around my house for over 3 years now.

      Hello there, Door. Thanks for investing high on Google Nest cameras, and for sharing your feedback on the Nest Cam (Battery). We’re sorry to hear about your experience with its video quality.

      You can adjust 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. Visit the Google Nest Help Center to learn more on how to change Nest camera or doorbell video quality: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9218596

    Best Buy local expert provided a great overview of the product. The installation was extremely easy. Used one in the house and the other outside. Added power cable to avoid removing it for charging and the need to pick the right angle, when remounting. Highly recommend!

    Just what I needed. Priced right and we're easy to install and set up. Using them for more than 10 days. Battery life is very good. Activity is normal and battery is holding. Purchased the covers/theft hoods also. Crisp video. I am satisfied with the purchase.

    Both cameras work well when placed in a good position. They don't last as long as I'd hoped because of the traffic in the areas so I ended up hard writing them to power.

    The Best camera for the front door/porch area. Good price & I used my Best Buy rewards towards it. I highly recommend it. Also, load the app & it clicks like a notification, similar to a text & you can see who is there & speak to whoever at the front porch. I love it!

    Battery drains fast if in a high movement area, people, cars, etc. Video quality isn’t any better than First Gen. Would have expected more from a company like Google.

      Hi there, David. Thanks for your feedback about the Nest Cam (battery). We’re sorry to hear that your experience with the battery life and the video quality is not exceeding your expectations.

      We always aim to improve our products, and your experience highlights areas we can address. Motion detection does impact battery life. We recommend checking out the Home app settings to adjust recording frequency and video length to optimize battery usage for your environment. Here's a helpful guide: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10901611

      Also, while the Nest Cam (battery) maintains the same resolution as the first generation, it offers improved image processing for better clarity, especially in low-light conditions. You can adjust your camera's video quality for sharper images. Just remember, higher quality uses more internet bandwidth, and your camera will automatically find the best balance between detail and smooth streaming based on your available bandwidth.
