    I am really disappointed with this purchase. Google Home, which is what this runs off of is very difficult to operate. Setting everything up was a major pain. Many times these cameras did not catch movement that a normal camera would’ve caught. I would not recommend these cameras to anyone.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Great cámara!!! Is way better than Ring o Blink. Also it is compatible with Alexa. Is great, you can see every little detail with this cámara.the Battery Is very durable, but it takes like 20-30 min to charge. The battery takes around 1 month without charging. I recommend using this cámaras 100%.

    AVOID this product! Pathetic Battery life!

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    AVOID this Google product! Battery for Google camera lasted only 7 DAYS! Two different Best Buy sales people told me the Google camera battery would give me approximately 6 months with a short recharge. The Google camera battery lasted only 7 days. I installed the Google camera over my driveway, and set “motion" to only detect “vehicles" and “people." Best Buy won’t let me return this product after 15 days from purchase, so I’m stuck with this junk (it sat in the box a week before I was able to install). Best Buy and Google should be ashamed of this pathetic product. I can’t believe anyone at Google (or Best Buy, for that matter) would put a stamp of approval on this product. I will never buy a Google camera product again, their batteries can’t be trusted. Based on Best Buy’s terrible sales advise and return policy on such a terrible product, I don’t know that I could ever trust purchasing from Best Buy again. AVOID!

    Was better before Google bought them out

    Honestly if you had Nest before Google. You will not like these anymore. The Nest app was way better than Google Home. Pay for a subscription, but yet you don't have full control of what footage you can save. Only 5min clips at a time. Sorry but a lot of moments you need save is more than 5 mins... Google has changed it to a super cheap product of course.

    Since Google bought Nest, these cameras suck!!

    These cameras suck!!! Before Google bought nest, the nest cameras indoor and out were the absolute best product. Great quality, connectivity and customer support. We have wired Google Nest now with 1000mps speed wifi and these cameras never work. Constantly saying “cannot load view” and “retry”. What good are they if they never work. Complete garbage!

    The cameras work fine however they're much better deals on cameras! Plus, you'll need Nest Aware if you want them to function properly and they just raised it $20 in one year! Look for camera's with memory cards!
