      Hey there, BasselA. Sorry to hear you didn’t experience great battery life on the Nest Cam (Battery).Battery consumption depends 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.

    Nope. Massive step backwards here. I'm highly disappointed that any reviews even talked fondly of this product. Maybe Google threw them money because the only thing that makes these Nest cams is the plastic shell, the rest is garbage. Looks like the old nest cams but the video quality is hot dog pile. You can't view the cam within the Nest app along side any other Nest cameras. Charging cable plug projects forward instead of backwards for a clean wired install. Did I mention the video quality is TRASH? Seriously, just go buy a 10 year old smart phone and use that as a smart camera instead it's way cheaper. You can absolutely do better than this camera. (See my comment about repurposing an old cheap smartphone install Alfred and volia cheap wireless, or wired faux 1080p security cam) The Google integration is not enough for me to keep this super over priced potato. I am very deep in the Google eco system, wifi, hello, protect, cams, secure, hubs, speakers, even have a nest aware subscription and this camera is just NOT GOOD. Thanks Google for pushing me just a little closer to finally setting up Home Assistant and moving to a completely localized smart home system. Again, this camera is not the one you're looking for.

      Hi StanleyBird, we appreciate your feedback on the new Nest Cam (Battery). We do apologize to hear about your disappointment with the video quality and the Google Home app.

      Your Nest Cam (Battery) supports Up to 1080p at 30 frames/sec with High Dynamic Range (HDR) video quality that’s optimized for a clear view in bright sun or dark. However, if you see a lesser video quality than what is prescribed, we recommend checking for possible congestion in your network, or that your bandwidth may not be sufficient. Removing some of your connected devices may help relieve some bandwidth space, and you may check if you still experience any drop with the video quality. Verifying congestion may require you to contact your Internet service provider to check your connection and upgrade it if needed.

      Using the Google Home with a Google Account gives you access to our trusted security features, and seamless integration with other Google Nest devices, and Google Assistant. However, we´ve taken note of the details of your feedback and make sure to pass it along to the right team since we´re always looking for ways to improve our products and services.

      We're always just a click away to help you with your support needs. Feel free to contact us at your convenience when you visit the Google Nest help page: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
