This is a great camera for all intensive purposes but google really needs to step up the integration between the nest app and the home app. Features aren’t available depending on which app you are using and can be particularly confusing if you have cameras from the previous generation.

Well it is a pain two different apps. Need to charge every 10 days. Needed to buy solar panels. Bulky. Paid for install and they just screwed it in the place it’s magnetically sticks. Don’t pay for install waste of money.
Hi there, we appreciate your insights on Nest Cam (Battery). We're sorry for any disappointment you may be having with the battery issue and the move to the Google Home app.
We wanted to make the Google Home app the one place where you can control all your favorite Google Nest devices and other smart home devices with the Google Assistant. Here are some benefits you can get by using the Google Home app with your Nest Cam (Battery): - Automatic security protections such as Suspicious activity detection, 2-Step Verification and Security Checkup. - Your Google Nest devices and services will work together. For example, if you have a Nest Cam and a Nest Hub, just say, ""Hey Google, show me the backyard camera” to cast your camera stream to your display without any additional setup. - One account to sign into both the Nest and Google Home apps. - Your homes and home members will be aligned across the Nest and Google Home apps. - You may set up your older Nest cameras to the Google Home app. Check out this help article: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9893532
We recommend checking the frequency of events (per day) that you get with your Nest Cam (Battery), since battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. Users can extend the battery life of their camera 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 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)
If the short battery life isn´t related to the frequency of events, then we'd like to take a closer look at your device and understand what may be causing it. You may contact our support team for further assistance by visiting us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Picture is clear and very wide. I have it in a great wifi signal area and sometimes the app tells me the camera is off. I restart the app and it works. Other than that im pretty happy with it.
Hi there, Beats4fame. Thanks for your inquiry about the Nest Cam (indoor, wired). To check if the camera feed will work, you can try to delete and reinstall the app on your device. If you've tried these fixes before and the issue still persists, then we recommend reaching out to our team of specialists on our Google Nest Help 'Contact Us' page here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Had the older generation nest cameras but these newer generations have better picture quality. I also love the battery options that allow up 2-3 months on a single charge if needed.

Camera quality is fantastic, but I wish the app was a little more robust. I would prefer to "ignore" familiar faces and only show the ones not recognized. I like how sturdy the construction is and the ease of setup is fantastic.

Perfectly fits the family's household needs. The wireless function is mostly good, but can be difficult to maintain charging if the camera is in a very high traffic area!

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).

I have a ring and after a year I did t want to pay the subscription fees every year. After some research I found this one and I actually liked it. Here are the reasons
1. You don't want to pay the subscription and you don't need to check/tore video way back in the timeline
2. Solid build (in fact heavier than others) and the battery runs 6 weeks (within 25-50F ranges)
3. The video quality is good and I really like face recognition feature
4. I like the integration with nest hub display where I can watch the live feed with voice command
On the flip side, it might look expensive to begin with but the subscription cost from other devices will help you to decide. The setup with the nest app can be tricky so follow the steps carefully and contact support online if you get any problem but don't skip any steps.

I purchased 3 of these cameras to use outside my house. Overall the quality of the video is great, but the Google Home app takes too long to load and view. Also the camera on my front door drains rapidly so I will have to hardwire the camera.
Hi Rich, thanks for choosing our Google Nest products, and we're glad to hear that you found Nest Cam (Battery) great. We do apologize for the long loading time of the Google Home app, and for the battery drain issues you are experiencing.
The long loading time using the Google Home app for your Nest Cam (Battery) may be caused by a possible congestion of your network. We recommend removing some of your connected devices to free up some bandwidth space, and checking to see if you will still experience the same long loading times when streaming the video feed from your Nest camera. Once you verify congestion, we recommend contacting your Internet service provider to check your connection and upgrade your bandwidth if needed.
Hardwiring your Nest Cam (Battery) is a great idea to avoid battery drain issues. However, it's important to check the frequency of events (per day) that you get with your Nest Cam (Battery). Battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. Users can extend the battery life of their camera 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 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)
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 examine what may be causing it. You may contact our support team for further assistance by visiting us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Easy to install and integrate into entire system, crystal clear images, audio is crisp. Amazing how clearly you can hear the neighbors talking crap about something from across the street.
