I would recommend this to a friendGoogle home ruined this device
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall this is a good camera. The issue is with Google. Nest app is an amazing tool for smart homes. This camera cannot be added to the nest app and only can be viewed from Google home. Google home is a terrible app. Unfortunately this is enough to steer away from this camera.

I would recommend this to a friendBeware - Can't be used on NEST app!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've happily used NEST cameras for over 10 years. I have 7 cameras. Lighting struck, and fried one hanging on my detached garage. I bought the new Google/Nest camera 2 pack. Turns out, Google only allows these cameras to be viewed on their Home appbh no longer on the Nest app that has all my other cameras. That's nuts! You can't even view all of your cameras' feeds simultaneously anymore. I'm returning these and going with a new brand. My current Nest cameras are old and I was planning on swapping them out for newer versions once they failed. No more. Thanks guys... for ruining a good thing.

Posted .Hi Danpam1024, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the new Nest Cam (battery) didn’t meet your expectations.
Our long term plan is to use the Google Home app as the one place you can control all your favorite Nest and other smart home devices, and Google Assistant. In the near future, we’ll allow users to set up previous Nest devices and have full control in the Home app. Users with older cameras can view their camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new Nest Cams. Our team is working on bringing full functionality to the Google Home app so all of your cameras can be set up and controlled in one place.

Decent camera, don't order from Best Buy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The camera is great, but don't order it from Best Buy. I ordered it and it never came, and there seems to be no way to cancel the order. Customer service said to wait three days till see if it ever shows up, but they have no information as to where the package actually is. Last time I buy from Best Buy!
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDon’t buy

Why call it a Nest camera?
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Nest camera does not work with the native Nest app. So, if you already have other Nest products or cameras- too bad. Nice camera, dumb marketing and execution. I would give this a zero star if I could.

No viewing of historical video
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.No complaint on video quality or viewing angle, but disappointed I cannot view 24 hour video history like I can with my indoor nest cameras, Even though I pay for the subscription service

Posted .Hi Danny, thanks for reaching out. We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with the limited support for the 24/7 video recording feature. We’re not moving away from 24/7 video history. Our goal is to give users, like you, more choice. With event video history, we wanted our products to help you understand what’s going on at home easily and highlight the important activity for you. If you want to see everything that happens at your home, we offer 24/7 video history on wired Nest Cams with a Nest Aware Plus subscription. We continue to invest in the use of both technologies.

Google nest cameras
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When setting up a zone for motion, people walking or vehicle in the zone it will not record. It does it when it feels like it I would rather buy wired cameras NVR instead of wifi cameras. F+ for google in this one.

Posted .Hi WirelessBeats, thanks for the feedback you shared about the Nest Cam (battery), and we’re sorry to learn of your poor experience with the recording feature.
If you’ve set your camera to record and save specific kinds of events in its video history, your camera will detect and process any relevant activity it detects, but will only save footage of events you’ve enabled to the cloud. Also, a big Activity Zone captures more activity. In general, the smaller and more precise the Activity Zone, the more accurate your camera’s alerts should be. Try to experiment with the size and placement of your Activity Zones to get the effect that you want. You might have to move your camera, change your camera’s angle, or change something in the scene so that you don’t miss important activity.
We care about your experience. We'd be happy to help and guide you with structured troubleshooting steps if you can visit us whenever you have time here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
Disappointing product
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cameras do not capture events very well, even with turning up all the settings. It’s even hard for them to connect for me to view live events. Nest Aware Plus claims 24/7 of these are plugged in, but doesn’t record. Big disappointment from a Nest product.

Poor training by management
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was sold the wrong camera (battery instead of wired). I questioned it several times but was assured I was given the right camera. Got home and called the "Tech Team" to verify. The first 3 people couldn't seem to comprehend the difference between wireless battery and plugged into 120 volt house current!! After 45 minutes and finally a 4 th "expert", I was assured this camera would work. Since I am a total tech member( what a waste of money), it was to be installed free. The service tech wasn't there 5 minutes and told me I had the wrong camera. The service tech was great, the store and phone service personnel are poorly trained, management deficiency. Service tech commented that he runs into this often since it has been outsourced.
