    As someone who has the Nest IQ outdoor camera, you can only wonder what Google is up to… this is a step back as you can’t get continuous recording with out hardwiring it. The mounting kit is plastic and while it works it doesn’t seem sturdy. Additionally the user interface for Google home seems like it’s still in the beta phase. There are better options out there for this price.

      Hi FlyingDutchman, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We regret to hear that Nest Cam (battery) didn’t meet your expectations.

      The new Nest Cam (battery) is exclusive to the Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience. 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, and 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 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.

      Your patronage and satisfaction is what drives us in improving our products and services. If you have any questions or concerns, you can always reach out to our support team. We’d be more than happy to help here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

      Hello MytwoCents, it’s great to have your feedback and we’re glad that you find the Nest Cam (battery) excellent. We understand that using the Nest app to view your camera feeds is more convenient for you. However, our priority with this launch was building a complete experience for our new cameras and doorbell in the Google Home app. Also, using a Google Home app provides you with a lot of benefits including access to Google's trusted security platform and access to other Google tools. This means you get a simpler interface and a simpler way to connect all your devices into a single environment.

      If you need assistance, our support team is always here to help and guide you with using the Nest Cam (battery) in the Google Home app: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Poor Wireless Outdoor Camera

    Since Google bought Nest I've been very frustrated. These cameras have a ton of issues - spotty WiFi connection, slow to respond, terrible app interface and a horrible app in Google Home. Battery life is not good - averaging only 5wks before a recharge is necessary. Not too happy with this purchase. But, they sure look cool.

      Hi osbrown, thanks for informing us about the issue. We're sorry to hear that you're not happy with the issues you are having with Nest Cam (Battery).

      We recommend checking for possible congestion in your Wi-Fi network. Removing some of your connected devices can help free up some bandwidth space. You may then check to see if you will still experience the same connectivity issue. You may also check for possible sources of interference such as the thick walls and appliances in your home.

      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. Here are some typical scenarios:
      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)

      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 Nest
