Google Nest Camera
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I ended up getting the front porch ones wired and that was an extra cost to pay an electrician bc I live in an older house. Nice looking, But the battery life is not good.I think I’m going to sell and get a different camera system. I don’t like the fact that they are battery operated and The solar panels don’t really keep them charged in high traffic areas.

Posted .Hi there, MashaundaC. Sorry to hear you haven’t the best battery life on the Nest Cam (Battery). The lifespan of the battery 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.

Easy set-up
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The price is high but the video quality is amazing. The set up is simple and anyone can do it. The online guide helps if you are lost as well. If you wanting to upgrade your security cameras these are worth every cent.
I would recommend this to a friendGood cameras, software is subject to improving
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Camera work as intended, they are very easy to install and seamlessly can be integrated to Google Home/Nest. The only downside (that make me rate them as 4) is the software. There is configuration for at home & out, however compared to other cameras/software in the market, there isn't configuration based on schedule (specifically while sleeping).
I would recommend this to a friendGood cameras, but pricey.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love these cameras, but they are very expensive for what they are. Note that if you live in a cold environment such as I do (Anchorage, AK) the cameras will become inoperative when the temperatures get below freezing. Also, you have to subscribe to the Nest Aware Plus service to get full history, etc., this is $10/month or $120 per year.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Probably one of the most reliable cameras I've purchased. This was an addition to an existing nest system, and it impressed as usual! Pairing with a solar panel is also the perfect combo!

Posted .Hi Mando, thanks for posting your feedback about Nest Cam (Battery), and we’re sorry to hear that your experience with its battery life is less than ideal.
Battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. You can extend the battery life of your camera by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas. This link might be helpful: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10901611
Here are some typical scenarios.
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)
If you still have to charge the battery more often than you’d like, consider connecting your camera to a power outlet with the included or optional power adapter. Connecting to continuous power will keep the battery charged. Please note that the power adapter included with the Nest Cam (battery) is not weatherproof and not intended for outdoor use and you can use a compatible weatherproof cable (sold separately).

||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Someone disappointed in the functionality of this camera. I now believe its may solely be software related to my concerns. The Home app doesn't appear to be as intuitive and function as well as I was expecting. I have every motion and detection setting enabled as possible, however my experience has been very lack luster. I currently have a ring doorbell installed at a further away location with less visibility than how I have this nest camera mounted. Yet the ring detects and notifies me of many, many more motion items such as vehicles and pedestrians, yet the nest camera, looking at the same location, with much broader field of view does not detect, alert, or record any motions that cross many times an hour, that which the ring easily detects and alerts me. Maybe my items is defective, or maybe it simply cannot set a detection of objects moving too fast, but it has plenty of field of view if I'm watching the camera setting to live, rather than letting it function idlily and notifying me. I like the device, its a google product, usually these are at a higher standard, but I want to blame the new transition away from nest software, and to home software. Will need some tweaking, and maybe its simply software related to my issues, but the camera simply does not detect motion unless i have a constantly live feed on. Which defeats the purpose being a battery/wireless camera, as a constant live feed will drain power at a much faster rate.

Posted .Hi there, thanks for posting a feedback regarding your the Nest Cam (Battery). We’re sorry to hear about your disappointed with the functionality of your camera.
Nest cameras are designed to alert you when they detect important activity like person seen, animal detection, and vehicle detection intelligent alerts, as well as activity zones, even without a subscription. Make sure your device is connected to your Wi-Fi network and the network is connected to the internet. You may need to move your camera or change something in the camera’s view to improve motion detection results. You can also change your camera’s angle, or change something in the scene so that you don’t miss important activity. If notifications are turned on, check whether similar activity has recently occurred in your camera’s video history.
We’d also like to learn more about your issue to help improve your overall experience. If you haven’t yet, we suggest reaching out to our dedicated team for further support here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
Video quality is good
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think the quality of the video seems good. The app is ok. The only issue is that in the Google Home app you can not set alarm times. The Nest app did, but the new cameras do not work on the Nest app. I would like it to alert me during specific times of day/night when I know I am gone regularly instead of alerts always on or always off.

Settings are important
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to install and fit nicely where we needed it to. Battery is good, if it’s in a busy area you might have to charge more frequently but it does an amazing job. Always make sure to check setting for video for how often clips are taken.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like this camera. I am a professional in the security industry and find that it has a good return of investment. However the 2 drawbacks are if you want more than 3 hours of video archive, you have to pay a monthly subscription and if you don't want to have to recharge it every 4 weeks, you have to use the provided charging cable. Which defeats the idea of it being wireless.

Posted .Hi ScrewedinPHX, we're glad to hear you liked Nest Cam (Battery). We're sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction with the battery and Nest Aware subscription.
We recommend getting the Nest Aware subscription, as it provides a lot of value for your money with features that include 30 days of Video History, 24/7 continuous recording, access to clips and time lapses and even customizing your own activity zones. You won't ever have to worry about missing any events as these videos and clips are all saved onto the Cloud. All these features can be viewed and controlled at the tip of your fingertip using the Google Home App.
The battery life for your Nest Cam (Battery), is affected by factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. You can extend the battery life by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas. Here are some typical scenarios:
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)
It's important 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.

Respectable battery life and great motion detection. Included theft prevention wire seems flimsy, recommend purchasing after-market wire if you're concerned about theft of the device.
