Works as expected. Great clarity and alerting to motion. Ideally you would want to utilize the power line if possible but if its not available the battery life will last a while. Occasionally, I will forget and the camera will die until I can get around to charging it again.

I had this camera right by my current security camera and it failed to detect half of the events. A large truck would drive through taking up the entire screen and it wouldn’t even detect that. I talked to Google and they helped reset camera but that didn’t help. I have returned the product. The app is terrible!

These are great cameras and were very easy to setup and install
Hi JMatty, it’s great to have your feedback on Nest Cam (battery) and we’re glad that the battery life and the image quality are ideal for you. 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.

Battery dies too quick, it suposed to last more than a week
Hey there, UlyssesD. We’re sorry to hear you’re having to charge the Nest Cam (Battery) so often. The battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and selected camera settings. On average here’s how long the battery will last on a single charge:
Busy - About 1 month battery life (about 25 - 30 recorded events per day) Typical - About 2.5 months battery life (about 13 - 16 recorded events per day) Quiet - About 6 months battery life (about 2 - 5 recorded events per day)
Here’s a few tips to conserve battery: 1. Optimize its video quality. 2. Shorten the length of time for which events are recorded. 3. Take longer to begin recording between events.

These three cameras work very well providing surveillance for the outside of our Alaskan home. I installed one in the shed. The other two are covering the entry doors of our home. The battery powered cameras allow for flexibility as to where they can be installed. The battery life is very reliable.

Had to return these units. I wish Googe made the following limitations extremely clear before I wasted my time
- 2 pack camera only comes with 1 cable
- 10 minute person notification for alerts. Will not be alerted if someone breaks into your home less than 10 mins after you leave
- on battery mode, PIR sensor used to waku up camera seems to have a distance of 10ft (maximum sensitity). Too short as a thief will not be detected until they are out of frame if they walk quickly
pluses:
unit feels very high quality and magnet is very very strong
Hi there, thanks for taking the time to share your review on the Nest Cam (Battery). We’re sorry for the inconvenience these issues may have caused you, and we understand your decision to return it.
Nest camera notifications are a little different. Because we don’t want to bombard you with alerts, you might get fewer than you expect if your camera is pointed at a busy spot. You can choose to receive notifications for everything your camera detects, or choose notifications for only certain types of activity. Here’s more information about notification settings you can change for your camera: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9210305
Also, it only takes around 4-5 hours to fully charge the Nest Cam (battery). If there’s a need for more than one charging cable, or if you want the camera to be wired with continuous power, you can go with the optional Nest Cam (battery) Weatherproof Cable (in 5 m or 10 m) to keep your Nest Cam connected.
Your feedback is important as we always aim to improve our products and services. If you’d like to try the new Nest Cam again in the future, we’d be happy to help improve your experience by visiting us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

The Nest Cam cameras are great. I like the complete wireless device. And the batteries last long.
