Great cameras
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I set up one camera with wire and the other via battery. Battery life is OK, but I would recommend wiring if possible. I was a little bummed that they dont work with the legacy Nest app or online portal, but the legacy cameras do show up in Google Hime. Takes a little time to get used to it.

Posted .Hello there, BLTPHX. Thanks for sharing your experience with using the Nest Cam (battery). We’re sorry to hear that using the Home app, to control and manage your camera settings, is below your preference.
We’re aware that longtime Nest users enjoy viewing their Nest camera feeds from the Nest app. However, the Nest Cam (battery) is exclusive to the Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience with our other Google Nest devices. We also 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. Other benefits include the following:
- Automatic security protections such as Suspicious activity detection, 2-Step Verification and Security Checkup.
- Your Google Nest devices and services will work together.
- 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.
If you need help with using the camera in the Home app effectively, please let us know by visiting here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Posted .Hello there, Tucett. Thanks for sharing your experience with Nest Cam (battery). We’re sorry to hear of your issues with the event detection and recording features. We suggest checking each of the camera settings so you can choose which events your cameras can detect and record (people, motion, package, etc.). From there, you (and each member of your home) can decide which of those events to get notifications for. If an event is turned off, you won’t get notifications for that kind of activity. Using activity zones to monitor specific areas can also help.
We can also check if there’s anything that causes your cameras to behave differently, and we welcome you to contact us anytime here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this camera as a proof of concept for four more cameras. Pro's are the google cloud service, HD video and polished overall product, the kind you expect from google. The downside is the range a camera can see a face. I placed this camera on the corner of my house facing the driveway. I also placed it in the different locations for the other cameras. I was impressed with the range for 5gz wifi. I much prefer this option to the box and 8 POE camera systems.

||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For a rechargeable camera the battery life is fantastic even in the winter you can expect around 4-5 weeks of life even with temperatures down in the tens. Picture quality is great and I like that I can set zones to only capture certain areas.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These have been working well and were easy to set up. Removing a star, as I''m little disappointed that the wired connections changed from the prior model and it wasn't clearly noted, so will need to now purchase the separately.

I would recommend this to a friendGreat wireless camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The original nest camera has better quality video however this new nest/google is wireless therefore much easier to install. I opted to buy and install with a solar charger to avoid the recharging, so far that has kept the camera at full charge.
I would recommend this to a friendMisses way too much action
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super disappointed in the performance of this camera. The video quality is great, when it actually captures video. I have this mounted above the garage door to watch our driveway, I would say that it picks up about 70% of the actual movement that goes by the camera. Many times we have come home and completely misses the car pulling in the garage. When it does capture an event, it misses the first half of the action almost every time. I have all the settings to max out the amount of video over battery. Just can't count on it capturing everything like our Nest doorbell. That doorbell performs like I hoped this would. Would NOT get this again if I had the choice.

Posted .Hi Justin, thanks for sharing your feedback with our support team. We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with the camera performance for Nest Cam (Battery).
Motion detection on 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/googlenest/gethelp
Great DIY Cameras

||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very easy to install and setup in the Google home app. Satisfied with video quality and overall product. Very very disappointed in the lack of integration with the nest app. Unfortunately I’m all in on the meet cameras. If I were in the position that this was my first camera purchase I would definitely buy into the Arlo family.
