not bad at all
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I set my expectations after reading the reviews about the cameras and I like them so far. I had the non battery ones before and I understand what everybody is complaining about, not being connected to the nest app and only working with the google home didn't feel like a deal breaker after all. you can always choose to only view your cameras on the google home app and see everything together without being disturbed by all the other smart devices connected to the app. Also being on Idle not a big issue since it will detect motion just as well as the old versions, it's a plus since it saves battery. quality can be changed if you don't like what it's defaulted to and I'm keeping them on high quality and they both capture clear videos. battery life is good so far, %94 after over two weeks. I wish they had two charging wires as everybody mentioned and for that I'm skipping one star but other than that I feel they're great google cameras for the price.

Wish they would bring the old cameras back!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Do I love it? NO! Do I like it? Absolutely! I hate the fact that you have to use the Google Home app to view them. In addition, the battery does not really last that long as stated. However, the quality is awesome and the camera works as advertised.

Posted .Hi Ramon, we appreciate you taking the time to write this review. We're glad that your Nest Cam (battery) works as advertised, and are sorry to hear your poor experience with using the Google Home app, and the camera’s battery life.
We’re aware that longtime Nest users enjoy viewing their Nest camera feeds from the Nest app. However, our priority with this launch was building a complete experience for our new cameras and doorbell in the Google Home app. We’re working on a seamless solution to use the Google Home app as the one place you can control all of your favorite Nest and other smart home devices, as well as Google Assistant. Also, using Google Home app provides you with a lot of benefits including access to Google's trusted security platform and access to other Google tools. This means you get a simpler interface and a simpler way to connect all your devices into a single environment.
Battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. You can extend the battery life of your camera by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas. This link might be helpful: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10901611
If you still have to charge the battery more often than you’d like, you might want to consider connecting your camera to a power outlet with the included or optional power adapter. Connecting to continuous power will keep the battery charged. Please note that the power adapter included with the Nest Cam (battery) is not weatherproof and not intended for outdoor use and you can use a compatible weatherproof cable (sold separately).
We can also check for other reasons why the battery life is less than expected. If you're willing to work with us, please get in touch with us through our available support channels found here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Wish I knew it needed to be plugged in
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love nest cameras, but this cordless will require being plugged in for full recorded history, wasn’t aware of that, now will need a cord. Also, the old nest app is going away, so need to use both apps, google home and nest. Need to figure out how to combine into one, so far haven’t figured it out yet, have older cameras. Otherwise it works fine.

Building a Nest
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worked great overall. Very easy install. Good picture quality during the day and overall battery life for our home works out to months not weeks. The camera performs well at night, though some of the arlo cameras have higher quality (color, resolution) night vision.

Perfect fit for Google Home
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First, we are a Google-centric home. Second, I read all the negative reviews of this camera and I was certainly ready to take it back if it did not meet my needs. Most of the really poor reviews were from former Nest camera (before Google) users. We do not fit into that category. This was our first outdoor security camera. It was easy to set up. However, I was a little taken aback by the requirement to install it between 6 and 6/1/2 feet from the ground. The good news is that this makes it easy to take down and recharge. The bad news anyone could easily reach it. The magnetic mount is very strong, and I am hoping would-be porch pirates will not know it can be pulled off its mount. It definitely took some time to figure out all the settings. The bad news was the amount of trial and error it took to get it set up the way I wanted it. The good news is the design of the settings allowed me to eventually set it up the way I wanted it. The other big complaint I read about in the reviews was the battery life. First, it is a trade off. I always intended to use this camera on battery power. Every few years when better models of security cameras are developed, I will be the replacing this one...easily! Second, I only need this camera to capture people...not cars, not animals...just people. Set up in that manner, the battery life has been quite satisfactory, going down only 1-2 percentage points a day. I can live with that! We live in a condo. It is a good neighborhood and our doors are quite visible, so I am not overly concerned about break-ins. However, I did want to know when packages were delivered so I could bring them in the house as soon as possible and avoid tempting any porch pirate. I did have to increase the sensitivity on this camera. One of our regular delivery guys is very quick and the camera only captured his back after he dropped off a package. But, it was good to know that change was needed. To sum up, after getting this camera set up just the way I wanted it, I purchased another one for our side door. I could not be happier I stayed with Google cameras for my Google-centric home.

Good image
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good quality images. I was told they do not work with best aware though, haven't tried yet but I would probably return them if that is the case. Pretty expensive though, I’m sure I could have found a much cheaper outdoor camera that would pair with my nest home system.

I would recommend this to a friend Great Value and Utility... if you trust Google
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Box comes with everything needed for basic setup. Charging cable is on the short side in comparison to wired model. These are basically the former overpriced Nest IQ cameras newly rebranded. They're a good deal now at 1/4th of what they used to cost but heavily dependent on Google services. These WILL NOT work with the legacy Nest App and must be setup via the Google Home App; local home network MUST be online able to access Google servers — you cannot log on to them directly locally. These are essentially fully dependent on remote proprietary Google software and associated services so will likely become expensive paperweights (like Stadia Controllers) if Google ever suddenly feels like killing the 'Nest' service.

Posted .Hi MrPen, thanks for sharing your insights with us on Nest Cam (Battery). We're sorry to hear that the Google Nest ecosystem, including the Google Home app fell short of meeting your expectations.
Our goal for the launching of the new generation of Nest cameras is to make the Google Home app the one place where you can control all your favorite Nest devices and other smart home devices with the Google Assistant. Here are some benefits you can get by using the Google Home app with your Nest Cam (Indoor, Wired):
- Automatic security protections such as Suspicious activity detection, 2-Step Verification and Security Checkup.
- Your Google Nest devices and services will work together. For example, if you have a Nest Cam and a Nest Hub, just say, ""Hey Google, show me the backyard camera” to cast your camera stream to your display without any additional setup.
- One account to sign into both the Nest and Google Home apps.
- Your homes and home members will be aligned across the Nest and Google Home apps.
If you´re willing to try, you may set up your older Nest cameras to the Google Home app. Here´s a guide that you can follow to set up your Nest cameras on the Google Home app: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9893532

HUGE Upgrade for me
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a HUGE upgrade from the last Camera system I installed at my house. Very easy to set up, Very easy to connect to my smart home, easy to install. I was worried about having a magnet only holding the camera in place but it makes it SOOOOO easy to adjust. I can view camera on nest hub or in google app on phone. It has a very clear picture, alerts me to anything near my home. I am hoping to get more soon

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall the cameras are good.

Posted .Hi there Gamingmouse, thanks for reaching out to us. We apologize for the short battery life you are experiencing with your Nest Cam (Battery). It's important to check factors such as activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select for your Nest camera. You can extend the battery life by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas. Here are some typical scenarios for your Nest Cam (Battery):
Busy: About 1.5 months battery life (about 20 - 25 recorded events per day)
Typical: About 3 months battery life (about 9 - 12 recorded events per day)
Quiet: About 7 months battery life (about 2 - 4 recorded events per day)
We also recommend checking the frequency of events that your Nest camera gets in a day. If the short battery life isn´t related to the frequency of events, then we may need to have a closer look at your device and understand what may be causing it.
