good quality cameras, very easy to install and configure

great picture easy to install had to buy a longer charging wire to get all day recording

Easy to set up and use! Great quality!! Would purchase again.

Let me share some background - I am a complete Google-verse person - Android device, Google Nest doorbell, thermostat and 5 cameras around the house,etc. I have been waiting for this camera to be available as I needed an Outside Camera to monitor my driveway. I knew well ahead of time that installing this camera would not tie into the Nest app (like the rest of my cameras) and I'd have to use it via Google Home app - but a black friday deal made me go for it - fully acknowledging I'd have two places to view my security cameras. I brought it home - had no issues - it installed easily and I was able to manipulate the camera without issue. Since its mounted outside, I had the 10m weatherproof power cable so I can keep it live 100% of the time. That was Saturday. Today is Monday, I live in the Chicago area....this camera is mounted outside. Woke up this morning - camera is disconnected. (WHAT?!) I went into the settings and the camera battery status is 0% with the message that the camera is disabled due to battery. Last night was a typical autumn night - low of about 25 degrees fahrenheit. I double checked the power outlet (working fine - other things are plugged into it, without issue). Now, I'm perplexed. Being a Googleverse person - I called Google support - was assisted by a very kind agent named Carol. Thru troubleshooting, we found that the battery has discharged due to the temperature being so low - 20 degrees. I pointed out the obvious - this is an outside camera, and 20 degrees is pretty mild compared to whats coming up in the next months here in Chicago. I suggested to her that this camera is faulty - and perhaps I need to have it replaced? She put me on hold - spoke to her supervisor - and gave me the resolution - I need to take the camera down, bring it inside, and recharge it. I was blown away! No way am I going to buy an outdoor camera and periodically (any time it gets cold) bring it inside to charge. Google provided no other recommendations. This camera is going back to the store and I am going to find an older Nest Outdoor camera to install. I have one other Nest Outdoor camera and its survived two harsh winters here - but to sell something as an outdoor camera and not have it be tolerant of cold weather is unacceptable to me. I hope Google gets their act in order - I understand the limitation of the app integration - but quality wise, this is sub-par at best.

Was hesitant with some reviews, works very will have 6 months using now

Works as expected. Great battery life. Great software. Great hardware. No complaints...other than the price.

The yard cameras have been a nice supplement to the Google products in my home. Easy install and moveable, too.

I have been able to see more of what's been going on since purchasing these items. The video and audio quality is great and the settings and setup are very easy.

Super easy to install, and great video quality. connecting to Google Home with my ring doorbell made it perfect combo.

Nest cams are great! Easy to setup, easy to use, easy to access.

I have 2 of the old gen but this one works just the same. Only issue is that you have to view it through google app and not the best app. So now I have 2 apps that send notifications and if when viewing I have ti do the same

Quality camera. The battery last quite long and you can purchase a plug or solar power panel to keep it charged. I don’t care for the Home app. I prefer the older Nest platform.

I am not impressed with these cameras, and very annoyed that my older cams work better on the Nest app and these newer cameras only work on the Google Home app. I don't care which app I use, but at least make one app fully functional with all generations of cameras. I mean isn't Google supposed to be better than that? As for the cameras themselves, they constantly disconnect and reconnect, freeze, or are unavailable. I have a very expensive and powerful mesh gaming router with extenders, a high-end modem, and 1000Gps internet. There is no reason they should have such a poor signal. Lastly, the batteries are a joke even with light traffic. They claim a couple of months, I barely get a week out of them which forced me to buy and run a cable where I didn't want to. I have 11 nest devices in my home including cams, doorbell cams, thermostats, and door locks, and I have been unimpressed with all of them. If I wasn't so deep into Nest I would not have purchased these cams. But I am, so I did, and I continue to be disappointed. Only reason I gave them 2 stars instead of 1 is because they are much cheaper than their predecessors. I do not recommend!

Nice camera. If you have Nest aware, it will only save 24/7 if it is connected to power supply. Unless it is set up within a couple of feet of an outlet, you'll need to buy the 5 or 10 meter extension as the connector is proprietary.

Love how easy they are to are to connect to my google home app and being able to share with the family Great clear picture and sound quality compared to our ring cameras

Super easy to install and just works. I placed this above the back door of my office to keep an eye on the alley behind. A clear picture and is just what I wanted.

Great and easy to use! It stuck right to my metal siding so i didnt need to drill any holes and i could move it anytime very easy. The picture is ok was expecting a little more clear but does the trick.

Always works and love the quality of the video. Never had a problem with these cameras. We have four of them now positioned throughout the property

Google Nest Cams are so easy to set up and integrate into Google Home, but do not let them totally discharge. They can be very slow to fully charge!

Very good camera , got it on sale , only downside is it has to be charged maybe 1 time every 2 weeks depends on how much use it gets
