    Easy to install and records high quality video. Also integrates with the Google Home app, so one's entire ecosystem of Google smart home devices are easily accessible from a single place.

    The battery life isn't long enough. It lasted for less than two weeks. Other than the battery life, the camera is really nice. The video quality is great! Easy to connect with Google home. The magnet is surprisingly strong.

      Hi TiffanyB, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you like the Nest Cam (Battery), and we do apologize if you’re having issues with its battery.

      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. 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´re willing to try, we recommend checking 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 Nest Cam (Battery) and understand what may be causing it. You may contact our support team for further assistance here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp madebygoogle

    The camera was discounted to $120 so I jumped on it. Had been wanting one for my back yard. The video is very sharp and the notifications are quick. View angle is more than adequate. I'm not disappointed. I already had the nest aware subscription with my doorbell so being able to check video history may some day come in handy.

    Picked up 4 of these cameras. I used an already installed magnetic base so installation was simple. Connecting my ipad to the cameras was also simple. Battery life has been great. They’ve been operating for about a month and they all show as still full. So far just perfect. The picture is exceptionally clear when I check-in online from out of country. I’d say these cameras were a great choice thus far.

    Battery Life Stinks

    I am super disappointed in the battery life. I am pushing to get 4 weeks but most times it doesn’t last. Reviews say average battery last 6 weeks up to 3 months. In my opinion that is totally bogus unless you want a worthless camera that is in such low quality it couldn’t discern any valuable features if needed. I am shocked they no longer offer the outdoor wires option. Google obviously isn’t proud of their battery as you can barely find any discussion on their site.

    I honestly can't believe Google played these cameras. Picture is clear. Battery is okay. This camera does not pick up everything. Even when wired directly and running on 24/7. I have literally walked in front of in bright mid-day sun light with no alerts. I checked the history and also no isolated alerts. I would've returned but return date expired. The battery doorbell is even worse. I should've bought the older models but held out for these. Now I regret not buying the older models.

      Hi CaptainN, thanks for letting us know about the issue. We apologize for the disappointing experience you´re having with the notifications and alerts for Nest Cam (Battery).

      Nest Cam (Battery) determines when something moves based on how much an image changes over a short period of time. So, your camera may not send an alert if the following is true:
      - The activity is out of your camera’s field of view.
      - An object is blocking the camera’s view.
      - The camera is very far away from the activity.
      - The lighting in the scene is dim or washed out.

      We recommend moving your Nest Cam (Battery) by changing your camera’s angle, or change something in the scene so that you don’t miss important activity.

      If you still encounter the same issue, please consider contacting our support team for further help on the issue here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
