Nice Indoor/Outdoor cameras. Easy to install with flexible mounting options and plenty of accessories for various mounting ideas. I always run these cameras plugged-in. I never run them on battery mode. However, I'm sure they operate nicely as rechargeable units. Adding a Nest Aware subscription gives you recording and playback options with a basic subscription at $8 per month.

These are great cameras but they should have included the outdoor power cables. Battery life is ok but if it's in an active area, you need to have it powered. Video quality is good. App is... not great... but it works. It's sometimes very glitchy when trying to browse video history.

Easy to set up. Easy to move. Charging can be a pain. I installed electrical receptacles nearby for high traffic areas.

We originally wanted 2 cameras but since there was a sale for 3 we spent a little extra. 2 are mounted outdoors and we kept the other 1 indoor to monitor the dog when we leave her alone. If she starts to bark or howl due to loneliness, we can talk to her on our phone app which gives her reassurance. The cameras are very clear on our phone app and we can also hear very well. It's a great product that took little installation.

These cameras are great especially if you have already bought into the google ecosystem. They are pretty expensive but were very simple to setup. There are only two big issues. You have to pay for 24/7 recording and the battery life is no where close to advertised. Im sure you could get close if you restricted video recording a lot, but defeats the point of the camera. So a power cable is a extra must buy. And as others have mentioned this three pack only comes with one short charger cable, not 3.
Hey there, Jacob. We’re glad that you like the Nest Cam (battery) and how it integrates with the Google ecosystem. We hear your concerns about the battery life and recording feature along with having one charging cable for the multi-pack cameras.
A single cable is included because cameras typically require charging at different times. This is due to factors like how often events occur, what the camera sees, and your chosen sensitivity and recording duration settings.
Meanwhile, you can connect your camera to a power outlet with the included power adapter for continuous power so you can avoid charging the camera more often than you should, which is also required to get 24/7 recording. And 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. Additionally, the Nest Aware (2nd gen) covers all cameras and doorbells added on the same home structure. Please note that the power adapter included with the Nest Cam (battery) is not weatherproof and not intended for outdoor use, and we suggest using a compatible weatherproof cable (sold separately).

Picture quality it amazing but the battery lofe is horrible. It last a week and i live in a dead end with not a lot of traffic. Also we've messed with the sensitivity and it still doesn't notify us half the time.

I purchased these and couldn’t be more happy with them. I originally had them powered by battery only. However, I opted later to get the 24/7 coverage with Nestor plus so I purchased power cables later (Amazon, not Google - way more cost effective) for what I want these, for they were perfect. My only complaint, and I knew this going in was that I had to use the Google Home app rather than Nest app. The Nest app is much better. I also feel like these are very high priced.
