Having a few nest products, I decided to purchase this camera and add it in a hard to reach place outdoor where the battery option comes in handy. The initial set-up is simple and fairly quick through the Google Home app. I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't add it to my best app. The magnet is very strong and keep the camera from moving from its original position. The quality is great particularly with morning light and average at night. I set mine to stay idle at all times and notify me of any movement if I'm not present in the house. So far, I'm satisfied with the performance. I've had it for 21 days and the estimated charge is at 3 months.

A flexible, smart, and capable home security camera that delivers excellent video quality and intuitive smart features, with battery life that varies by use case.
Hi there, Bruce. Thank you for choosing Nest Cam (battery) for your home. We're glad to hear that you had an easy time with installing the device. We recommend changing the settings to save battery.

First time buying security cameras, and these are my impressions:
1) super easy to set up and installation is fast and easy if you’re familiar with Google home already.
2) video quality is good for all the features that includes for a reasonable price. Nest aware plan starts at $6. Face detection is amazing.
3) cameras can be adjusted to your preference. Which means it will covered the area of your choice and get notifications of that specific zone already selected.
Overall I’m just waiting for the cameras battery life. But So far they’re holding fine.

Overall great product. Picture and image quality is good. Unfortunately, you cant use the Nest app with this camera. You will have to use the Google home app to use and monitor this camera. I prefer the Nest app for better and convenient daily user friendly capabilities. I like the idea of having a portable battery powered camera to place in random areas that you can view over Wi-Fi and on your cell phone. If I would have known that this camera didn't use the Nest app, I don't think I would have made the purchase. But again, a pretty decent camera and hopefully Google adds this camera to the Nest app. Other note: Larger than other Nest cameras due to internal battery.
Hi Mark, thanks for sharing your experience. We're glad to hear that you like the new Nest Cam (battery), and we do apologize if you´re unable to add it to your Nest app.
Our long term plan is to use the Google Home app as the one place you can control all 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.
We value your feedback, and as it will greatly help us in improving our products and services. You can reach out to us for further assistance anytime here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Works well for what we needed. Easy to install. Would purchase again.

The ease of use with the magnet is good and allows me to move it around needed . I have it in fairly active locations so need to charge every few weeks when on battery. I do prefer the continual recording you get when plugged in, but the battery operation is convenient when a power source is not nearby.

Bought the 3-pack of Google Nest cameras and couldn’t be happier. Setup was quick and easy through the app, and the video quality is super clear both day and night. I love being able to check in from my phone and get alerts when there’s activity. They give great peace of mind, especially for keeping an eye on the house and packages. Reliable, sleek, and they work exactly as expected. Definitely worth it and would buy again.

Cameras are great. Easy, good images, plenty of options to customize, I like that I can choose to use the nest aware service for extended recordings etc. I use their whole Google system and various devices (floodlight cams, doorbells, hubs, hub max, mini). My only issue is getting consistent notifications to my Samsung galaxy watch, which is a major point of use for me. Also, recognize that privacy with Google itself continues to grow weaker; then again, nothing is really private once you are using the internet in any way.

Love these. Been using them for a few months now so I’m able to give it a pretty fair assessment. The system is user friendly. You can set it so you can be alerted anytime someone passes by. Additionally, you can view footage anywhere. A con I would say is that unless you can a paid membership, you won’t be able to view footage from 12 hours ago. I think it’s useful to be able to do that.
Good day, Kate! We’re glad that you love the Nest Cam (battery) along with its features and functionality. We understand that having the ability to view footage from the past (more than three hours) can be ideal for you.
As we're always evaluating and refining our products based on customer’s feedback and industry trends, we’ve included three hours of event history right out of the box for the first time ever. On-device processing also gives our customers smart alerts and Activity Zones, which historically have required a subscription. There's no fee to stream full resolution live video, receive notifications, and view video history for up to three hours in the past, as long as your camera is connected to the internet. However, you’ll need a Nest Aware subscription to receive advanced features. Learn more what you can get with the Nest Aware subscription here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9233159
