Can place this guy anywhere that can receive a WiFi signal. I have it installed on a cedar tree in backyard facing the backyard sidewalk area. Put a black silicone cover on the camera so it blended in better to the environment. Works great! Very clear picture. Battery life is about a month depending on usage. Nice battery icon always displayed so you can see remaining battery life.

Very nice cameras, I have them on all points of my home and they work very well, super easy to set up and very user friendly to use and play back video clips if needed. I love the familiar face feature since it always tells me who is at the door before they even knock.

I set this camera up in 12/2021 and it had been working fine since then. I mean, I live in an area where let's of wild animals cross my porch, and this camera has never been able to determine that they're animals and not record an event...but I was still happy with it. This month, I'm noticing an issue. This camera will go full days without recording an event (my settings have not changed); it will miss me exiting/entering my home, miss the post office and goodness knows what else. Today, I realized that the night vision is not night visioning...the picture is super dark and not even restarting it helps. In daylight, the picture looks fuzzy. I've attached before and after shots with and without night vision. I'm going to see what I can do to fix it, but I doubt this camera will last another year.

Hi there, AOkaaay. We’re sorry to hear that you’re having issues with the Nest Camera (battery). This is not the kind of experience we want you to share with you.
The event detection feature depends on the camera settings that you select. You can choose which events your doorbell can detect and record (people, motion, package, etc.). You can change the settings like adjusting video quality, wake-up sensitivity, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas.
For the night vision, try to angle your camera away from bright lights, or to install the camera in a shady spot. You should also make sure that any nearby surfaces or objects (like a wall) are out of view, since the camera’s infrared light can reflect off a surface. Other tips on how to improve the night vision feature can be found here:: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9259738

I use this in my office and the only complaint I have is. There is a room with constant activity which requires the camera to be charged frequently

Setup at 8k feet elevation in the Rocky Mountains with dry climate and cold weather conditions, currently -5 degrees Celsius average temps, batteries showing about 4 weeks before recharging required. Must have google home app, limited features available if you’re familiar with the app.

The Google Nest Cam is a great security camera. Purchased it to add to my existing home security system. Easy to install and set up. Excellent audio and video. Works fine and have experienced no issues to date.

It was extremely easy to install and get online with my Nest doorbell. Very sharp video quality, and wide angle. Highly recommended! I looked at several other options, but decided to stick with Google, since they would both be accessible on one app. I’m very happy with how it works, quality and the low cost of cloud storage of videos.

This is our third camera now. Easy to install and easy to install on your phone. I like that you can hear what someone says while monitoring them on your phone. They also can hear you talking to them clearly.

I’ve had this camera less than a year. It started going bad in the winter time. Also, the temperature doesn’t even get that cold where I live, around the 40s. Google claims that this will charge even at 32 degrees, this is patently false. There’s a fatal flaw in the design that even when it’s plugged in, it relied on the battery to give it power. However, if it’s too cold, the battery will drain in less than 24 hours and then it won’t charge. Again, this will happen even if the temperature is above 32 degrees. This is also my second camera that has had the same issue. Save yourself the headache and stay away from this camera. It will be great the first couple of months, and then it will literally die on you. It’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when.

Hi there AaronW, thanks for sharing the details of your experience with Nest Cam (Battery). It's unfortunate to hear that you experienced shorter battery life for Nest Cam (Battery) while using it during the colder temperatures of winter, and we apologize for any disappointment you may be having with it.
Battery charge time for Nest cameras depends on several factors, including ambient temperature and the state and condition of the battery. Keep in mind that the battery won't charge at temperatures below 32°F (0°C), and will only charge slowly at temperatures close to freezing.

The camera quality is great. I think neat products and services are converting completely over to Google so the neat app doesn’t support all of their products. Happy with the cameras and doorbell we have.

I really wanted to like this camera. But it just does not do the job. I have a pool being built, below a deck, and I really wanted a camera that would pick up anyone on the stairs of the deck, or anywhere around/in the pool. It works great on the deck and stairs, but if I walk around the pool or anywhere to the right, it does not pick up motion at all. I understand it's directed to be placed 6.5 feet from the ground, but I would still expect this to pick up motion from higher and farther. Ultimately, I was hoping to use this in place of Blink cameras, to keep everything in one app, but the cheaper Blink cameras far outperform this. They pick up so much more motion - motion anywhere in camera view - while this simply does not. So this is getting returned. For the price, I expected much better performance.

Hi Walter, thanks for sharing your feedback about your experience with the Nest Cam (battery), and we’re sorry to learn that it didn’t meet your expectations.
Your camera runs algorithms to process video and audio data so it can determine whether it detected something you might want to know about. To detect anything besides a person, animal or moving vehicle, the camera checks for general motion in the scene. It learns what’s normally in its background view and looks for movement and changes. As a result, it can sometimes trigger not just for important things, but also for minor things like tree branches that sway in the wind. If you only need your camera to detect people, animals or moving vehicles, it's recommended that you don't turn on this feature.
Also, Activity zones can help determine when your camera records something. If you set up Activity zones, your camera only records in the zones that you’ve enabled. This allows you to ignore busy or unimportant areas of your scene. If your camera detects that even a small part of a notable object is in an Activity zone, your camera should record it.
We hope you’ll consider using the Nest camera, and if you’re willing to give us an opportunity to help improve your experience, please contact us anytime here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
