    The battery life is awful, so I am constantly taking them down to recharge. They recharge very slowly, so it takes hours to charge one of them. The low end temp is -4 degrees F, so all three cameras went offline this morning when the temp hit -10. Save your money and buy a different system.

    Don’t get this product because it needs to be charged often so if it’s high you will need a ladder to get it off charge it then put it back. Additionally this product only comes with one charger for 3 cameras. Terrible product

      Hey there, Lyradi. We’re sorry to hear you’re having to charge the Nest Cam (Battery) so often. The battery life on the Nest doorbell (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.

    I have 4 older camera's with the Nest App and they are 5 star. You can scroll back the footage to see anything you want. I just purchased 5 new Nest Cameras which require Google Home App. With this app, you can only review if there is movement. Which is an awful feature and NOT useful.

      Hi there, JohnH. Sorry to see the Nest Cam (Battery) wasn’t quite what you were expecting. For clarification, the Nest Cam (Battery) is able to record up to 10 days of 24/7 video history if you have the
      Nest Aware Plus subscription and the device is connected to a power source. Check out this guide for more information: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9681538 madebygoogle
