    Very disappointed in this product. I already have 2 wired Nest cameras that work great. We bought this one to address a blind spot around our house. It doesn’t alert if I walk through the zone quickly and since Google bought Nest it isn’t compatible With the Nest app which is far superior to Google Home. I would return it if I were still in the window to do so. Don’t waste your time and money on this.

      Hi BLDis, we appreciate you for sharing your feedback about your experience with using the Nest Cam (Battery), and we’re sorry to hear that it’s a disappointment for you.

      Our long term plan is to use the Google Home app as the one place you can control all of your favorite Nest and other smart home devices, as well as Google Assistant. In the near future, we’ll allow users to set up previous Nest devices and have full control in the Home app. Users with older cameras can view their camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new Nest Doorbell and Nest Cams. Our team is working on bringing full functionality to the Google Home app so all of your cameras can be set up and controlled in one place.

      If you haven’t yet, we suggest adjusting the wake-up sensitivity of your camera to decide when to wake up and start recording. But please note that adjusting the wake-up sensitivity will also affect the range at which your camera can sense activity, and the amount of time it takes for the camera to wake up once it senses activity. Here’s how:
      - Open the Home app.
      - On the home screen, select your camera.
      - Tap Settings > Video > Wake-up sensitivity.
      - Choose your preferred setting.

      We care about your experience. Please let us know anytime here if further assistance is required and we’ll do our best to help: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Good camera the only drawback is the camera should’ve come with a wider angle lens. I switched from HomeKit now in the process of fully covering.

    It's baffling that Google would choke their new cameras with less features than previous generation, and entirely due to software. These latest cams are NOT Nest Aware compatible so you only get a limited 3 hour history window before they delete recorded events. And no option to subscribe to a service that would allow longer storage (like Nest Aware). It neuters the entire purpose of security cameras. Why on earth would Google do this? They're missing out on revenue and already have the tech in place. As of this review date (summer 2024) the Google Home app is also pretty clunky and hard to set schedules and customize. The cameras are fine, but until they fix the software/app I would strongly recommend avoiding.
