Battery lasts like 3 weeks max! Very disappointed with the product and Best Buy. They charge a 15% restocking fee for a product that just doesn't work.
Hi there, JonathanS. Thank you for posting your feedback on Nest Cam (battery). We're sorry to hear that your experience with its battery life is disappointing. To extend the battery life, we suggest adjusting the video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas.

doesnt work with the Nest app - WHY?!?!
dont sell a product called Nest Cam and not have it work with the Nest app. Requires the google home app.
No way to view the live stream on a web browser either - dumb
Hi Treky11, thanks for posting a review. We’re sorry to learn that Nest Cam (Battery) didn’t meet your expectations. We understand using one application for all of your Nest devices would be more convenient.
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, 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 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 feedback is important to us, as we are always working to improve our products and services. For further assistance, our support team is always here to help. Feel free to contact us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

One of the 2 nest cams died 1 year and 11 days after purchase. Beyond warranty period, so Google did nothing. Battery stopped charging, no fix possible. Apparently a common problem, do some research, don't buy this product.
Hi JimH, thanks for sharing your concern with us on your Nest cameras. We're sorry to hear one of your Nest cameras died. We understand how frustrating this experience may have been for you. However, if you will give us the opportunity, we'd like to work on providing you a better experience on your next interaction with our support team.

Stay far away from these cameras. Nothing but connectivity issues and charging issues from day one. Google will not stand behind their product either.

This camera is fine but it is terrible that you have to use the Google Home App
Hi SusanS, thanks for reaching out to our support team. We´re sorry to hear about your frustration with the Google Home app for Nest Cam (Battery).
The new Nest Cameras and doorbells are exclusive to the Google Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience with other Google Nest speakers and displays. We wanted to make the Google Home app as the one place you can control all your favorite Nest and other smart home devices with the Google Assistant. If you already have some Nest cameras installed in your home, you may transfer them to the Google Home app. Here´s a guide that you can follow: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9893532

Pictures don’t tell the story. Power cord does NOT come through the mount, actually connects to the camera. Not a very clean look! Also, note that you get a pair of cameras but only one power cable.
On the upside, they gave me $20 when I called to ask why I didn’t get a second power cable.
Hi Phil, thanks for sending in your review. We're sorry to hear that your experience with Nest Cam (battery) didn't meet your expectations when it comes to where the power cable connects. Please know that your feedback here is appreciated and rest assured we'll relay this to the right team for improvements in the future.

Keeps deleting your data without warning

I'll NEVER buy another Nest product, maybe never another Google product. Warning: If you change your WiFi password, the ONLY way to update your Nest camera is to do a factory reset. And even though that data is in Google's cloud, they delete all your recordings there as well. Fortunately, your Face Library (the library of your recognized faces) is still there.
HOWEVER, once your free trial of Nest Aware expires, even if you subscribe immediately, Google deletes not only all your video recordings, but it also deletes your entire Face Library. You're back to square zero.
So if you make the mistake of buying this Google Nest product, subscribe IMMEDIATELY to Nest Aware. Don't wait for your free trial to expire, unless you enjoy having the Google cloud delete all your data without notice.
What an amateur operation. Previously, I had thought more highly of Google, as a Pixel 6a owner. Never again!
Hi Arthur, thanks for sharing your feedback with us on Nest Cam (Battery). We're sorry to hear about the difficult experience you had with updating the Wi-Fi password and subscribing to Nest Aware. We can only imagine how frustrating this may have been for you.
The simplest fix for most Nest products is to update your home network so that the network name (SSID) and password are the same as before. This will usually work even if you’ve purchased a new Wi-Fi router as long as the manufacturer settings are the same.
For any support needs or concerns you may have about Nest Cam (Battery) in the future, please consider contacting our support team. We can help answer your questions and even walk you through some of the troubleshooting steps.

The battery doesn't last at all, only one day and half of that. I don't recommend these cameras, the pawer connection ones are better.

Battery life not great, hard to set up. Have other best camera items that are over 5 years old and still work perfectly so maybe I am old fashioned. But I am not impressed they are dead with in a day.
