Best 24/7 recording camera

Tried several other cameras for 24/7 recording. All were a disappointment. These Nest cameras allow you to scroll through every minute of recording for the last 10 days, and Nest will keep any motion recordings for 60 days. Video is awesome, and the cameras have been in the hot, humid, and rainy summer weather here in South Florida, recording without a hitch. Please note you will need to enroll in the Nest Aware Plus package for the 24/7 recording.

Really happy with this product. It was easy to install and even easier to connect with our google nest network. It has a super clear picture and the zoom is very nice. My wife actually scared me as I walked by one and she started talking to me. lol

The quality is good. Obviously battery life depends on how much it's recording. Batteries seem to do great. I have some that just run on battery. You can also add an external ring with a safety lanyard for extra security. The magnet is extremely strong, both for the mount and the camera. It sticks to almost anything. There's also a solar panel that you can add for inconvenient locations that do not have power. Would totally recommend the three pack. We run seven of these cameras.

Very nice cameras, I have them on all points of my home and they work very well, super easy to set up and very user friendly to use and play back video clips if needed. I love the familiar face feature since it always tells me who is at the door before they even knock.

Great cameras! Have great resolution and hold charge for a long time; charging them is a bit of a pain since I only have 1 cable but luckily don't have to do it often.
Also really love they are super magnetic, so you can stick these suckers on anything metal and they will hold! Perfect if you don't wanna drill or like to move the camera around

This is the best option in the market today. I have had a hassle free installation, long battery life, good clarity, reliable access. It's a great investment along with the cloud plan for 8$/month

Hi Letty, thank you for sharing your feedback. The inclusion of a single cable is intentional. Your cameras typically do not need to be charged simultaneously due to variations in usage. These variations include event frequency, the scene the camera is observing, sensitivity and event duration settings, and more. If you have any further questions, please contact us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

The Google Nest Cam (Indoor/Outdoor, Wire-Free) is a fantastic security camera with crisp video quality, smart alerts, and seamless integration with Google Home. The setup is quick, and the magnetic mount makes installation super easy. The AI-powered detection is accurate, reducing false alarms. My only gripe is the battery life—it works well but could last longer between charges. Overall, it's a reliable and user-friendly security solution!

Google - Nest Cam 3 Pack Wire Free Cameras

Google Nest 3 Pack Wire Free Security Cameras are an easy install and set up when you use Geek Squad. Resolution is great. Detail in the camera is sharp. The only drawback is the cameras battery. In a high activity area the battery runs out charge within 3 to 4 days. Installed at 10 feet or higher requires battery charging with extension cord by ladder; not an attractive option in the winter. The next best option is to buy the compatible Wasserstein solar panel charging unit. Again an easy install which comes with a way too long 13 foot cable that needs to be strapped to the panel bracket. the combination of the camera & the solar panel make each setup a stand alone sustainable unit.

Very easy setup right out of the box. I already use the google home platform so integration was very simple. Physical installation was easy as it only has 2 screws needed to mount the hardware. The setup instructions walk you through the entire process from start to finish. Only issue I'm having right now is with the battery life on 2 cameras. Its only lasting a matter of days rather than weeks. I'm working through battery optimization to maximize the battery life. Video feed is great and provides clear video. Night time vision is solid. Overall, I am satisfied with these.

Hello there, Joseph! We’re glad that you like the Nest Cam (battery), and that the setup and installation went easy for you. We hear your concern, and we appreciate all your efforts to optimize the battery life. Aside from adjusting the settings like video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas, we suggest checking the camera placements as wireless interference and range issues can affect the overall performance of the cameras. Devices that struggle to stay connected to your Wi-Fi may drain their battery faster than usual.
