Hello there, CWDE! We appreciate your feedback on Nest Camera (battery). We apologize for any confusion about the number of charging cables included in the package. We understand that you were expecting to receive three charging cables with the Nest Camera Battery 3-pack.We hear your concerns about camera multipacks having one charging cable included. The inclusion of a single cable is intentional, as the cameras shouldn't usually need to be charged at the same time due to differences in usage, such as event frequency or scene the camera is observing, sensitivity and event duration settings, and more.

Hi Rico, thanks for posting a review about Nest Cam (Battery). We’re sorry to hear that the motion detection feature isn’t working as expected.

Motion detection for your Nest Cam (Battery) can be affected by changes in the light level, and shadows moving across the frame like when a cloud moves in front of the sun. This also includes other movements within the camera's field of view like trees or bushes swaying. If you're not getting any alerts or notifications, we recommend trying out the steps below:
1. Change the Activity Zones on your camera. You can delete your existing Activity Zone and create a new one in any area within your camera's field of view. Just make sure that none of the zones you create overlap.
2. Change the angle of your camera and account for the lighting in the surrounding area.
3. Restart your Camera.

We'd like to help you troubleshoot the motion detection issue further with your Nest Cam (Battery). If you´re willing to try, please contact our support team so we can provide further assistance using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenesthelp

Hi there Vikentios1287, we highly appreciate your feedback and thanks for sharing the details of your experience with the Nest Cam Battery and it’s unfortunate to learn that it was a disappointment for you.

We understand that long time Nest users enjoy viewing their Nest camera feeds from the Nest app, however, our priority with this launch was building a complete experience for our new cameras and doorbell in the Google Home app. We wanted to make the Google Home app as the one place you can control all your favorite Nest and other smart home devices and create an integrated experience with the Google Assistant.

We understand your decision to return it but if you’d like to reconsider using the Nest Cam (Battery) again, we’d be happy to help you with any concerns that you might have and you’ll find us always available here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Hi there, thanks for sharing your insights with our support team. We´re sorry to hear about your frustrating experience with the app connectivity issue for Nest Cam (Battery).

We recommend only using the Google Home app Nest Cam (Battery) is exclusive to the Google Home app.
We wanted to make the Google Home app as the one place where you can control all your favorite Nest devices and other smart home devices with the Google Assistant. Here are some benefits you can get by using the Google Home app with your Nest Cam (Battery):
- Automatic security protections such as Suspicious activity detection, 2-Step Verification and Security Checkup.
- Your Google Nest devices and services will work together. For example, if you have a Nest Cam and a Nest Hub, just say, ¨Hey Google, show me the backyard camera” to cast your camera stream to your display without any additional setup.
- One account to sign into both the Nest and Google Home apps.
- Your homes and home members will be aligned across the Nest and Google Home apps.

We also recommended steps below that may be helpful with the connectivity issue:
- Check 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.

If the issue persists, and if you´re willing to try, we recommend contacting our support team so we can assist you further in resolving the issue.

Hi there, SamG. Thanks for sharing your feedback on the Nest Cam (battery), and we’re sorry to hear your experience is less than ideal.

We understand that longtime Nest users enjoy viewing their Nest camera feeds from the Nest app. However, our priority with this launch was building a complete experience for our new cameras and doorbell in the Google Home app. We’re working on bringing full functionality to the Home app as we want to create an integrated experience with other Nest and smart home devices. And while the new Nest cameras and doorbells are exclusive to the Google Home app, users with previous versions of Nest cameras can view their camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new Nest Doorbell and Nest Cams.

Also, the battery life depends on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. You can extend the battery life by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas. Check this link for more details: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10901611

Here are some typical scenarios.
Busy: About 1.5 months battery life (about 20 - 25 recorded events per day)
Typical: About 3 months battery life (about 9 - 12 recorded events per day)
Quiet: About 7 months battery life (about 2 - 4 recorded events per day)

If the battery life is significantly lower than expected, or for additional assistance, please contact us anytime and we’d be happy to help: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
