I like the clarity of the camera but what I don't like about the camera is that the battery doesn't stay charged for very long
Hi there, BrayanR. Sorry to see you’re having connection issues on the Nest Cam (Battery) — we understand how frustrating this can be. Here’s some troubleshooting steps to make sure your device is running optimally:
1. Restart the modem and router. 2. Restart your camera. 3. Check if your camera feels too warm or cold. 4. Check your internet bandwidth and speed.

The ease of use with the magnet is good and allows me to move it around needed . I have it in fairly active locations so need to charge every few weeks when on battery. I do prefer the continual recording you get when plugged in, but the battery operation is convenient when a power source is not nearby.

The installation was done by the GeekSquad team. It required some time and effort to install in the beginning. It was connected to the google home app but can not connect to the nest app. One of the cameras was not transmitting images correctly, so I had to replace both, and this also did not solve the issue. I had to get a third-party repair person from BestBuy who came to fix the problem. The camera quality is good. I think battery consumption is, more especially in winter, so it will need charging at 3-4 weeks.

Love these. Been using them for a few months now so I’m able to give it a pretty fair assessment. The system is user friendly. You can set it so you can be alerted anytime someone passes by. Additionally, you can view footage anywhere. A con I would say is that unless you can a paid membership, you won’t be able to view footage from 12 hours ago. I think it’s useful to be able to do that.
Good day, Kate! We’re glad that you love the Nest Cam (battery) along with its features and functionality. We understand that having the ability to view footage from the past (more than three hours) can be ideal for you.
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. On-device processing also gives our customers smart alerts and Activity Zones, which historically have required a subscription. There's no fee to stream full resolution live video, receive notifications, and view video history for up to three hours in the past, as long as your camera is connected to the internet. However, you’ll need a Nest Aware subscription to receive advanced features. Learn more what you can get with the Nest Aware subscription here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9233159

So far so good the clarity is better than other cameras I’ve had both “ING” brands weren’t suitable for me for either quality or battery life and i had to buy batteries for the wireless which was hell ! the nest app is easy to navigate and i am also loving the magnetic mounts i just climb my ladder and dismount and remount easily (no man needed) the other brands brackets mixed with the height and needing force to dismount and change batteries was so inconvenient. I also recommend looking to extra chargers if you have multiple cameras yes it may be pricey up front but calculate the amount you are spending on batteries etc per camera yearly vs just spending the little extra up front and you will see it’s worth it.

Cameras are great. Easy, good images, plenty of options to customize, I like that I can choose to use the nest aware service for extended recordings etc. I use their whole Google system and various devices (floodlight cams, doorbells, hubs, hub max, mini). My only issue is getting consistent notifications to my Samsung galaxy watch, which is a major point of use for me. Also, recognize that privacy with Google itself continues to grow weaker; then again, nothing is really private once you are using the internet in any way.
