Good quality only issue depending on placement depends on how quickly battery dies. If u have a busy street it will die within 3/4 days
Hi there Wondermom, we appreciate your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you are experiencing shorter battery life for your Nest Cam (Battery).
The battery life for Nest cameras will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. You can extend the battery life of the camera by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas. Below are some typical scenarios for your Nest Cam (Battery): 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)
You may want to check the frequency of events (per day) that you get with your Nest Cam (Battery). If the short battery life isn´t related to the frequency of events, then we may need to have a closer look at your device and understand what may be causing it.

good cameras. only short fall is the range. I put on in the eves of my 2 story house it t far to get a clear pic of anything moving in no front yard
Hello there! Thank you for sharing your experience using the Nest Cam battery. We're thrilled to hear that you find the camera quality impressive. We understand your concerns regarding the range and the challenge in capturing clear images of movement in your front yard due to the camera's placement on the eaves of your two-story house. Achieving optimal coverage can sometimes be difficult, especially with wireless cameras. Placing the camera higher up might affect its ability to capture detailed movements closer to the ground, like in the front yard. If you have questions and other concerns, we recommend reaching out to our dedicated team of specialists on the Google Help Center here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Love this camera. Easy to install with no ugly cord hanging from house. Picks up pretty much everything in my front yard.

It's baffling that Google would choke their new cameras with less features than previous generation, and entirely due to software. These latest cams are NOT Nest Aware compatible so you only get a limited 3 hour history window before they delete recorded events. And no option to subscribe to a service that would allow longer storage (like Nest Aware). It neuters the entire purpose of security cameras.
Why on earth would Google do this? They're missing out on revenue and already have the tech in place.
As of this review date (summer 2024) the Google Home app is also pretty clunky and hard to set schedules and customize.
The cameras are fine, but until they fix the software/app I would strongly recommend avoiding.

I do like this camera for having the battery option as this is mounted outside the house. Overall the camera is great, I just don't like the fact that Google has made a mess with the old Nest App and Google Home. They need to make up their minds on integrating all cameras be it from Nest or Google. It's a pain switching from Nest app and Google home. If you have older camera's, Google messed up on this integration for now and this was back in 8/24/2021 when I bought this and it is still a mess now.

The overall experience is great with the nest camera. I wished it had a wider viewing angle like the arlo Ultra 2. Facial recognition is a cool feature. Subscription service is pretty good. $12 a month for unlimited cameras.
