Well contructed and easy to install and set up. I ended up purchasing the outdoor extension plug so I have it recording 24/7 but that made installation only slightly more difficult. If you were just running on battery then installation would be even easier.

I purchased these and couldn’t be more happy with them. I originally had them powered by battery only. However, I opted later to get the 24/7 coverage with Nestor plus so I purchased power cables later (Amazon, not Google - way more cost effective) for what I want these, for they were perfect. My only complaint, and I knew this going in was that I had to use the Google Home app rather than Nest app. The Nest app is much better. I also feel like these are very high priced.

I ended up getting the front porch ones wired and that was an extra cost to pay an electrician bc I live in an older house. Nice looking, But the battery life is not good.I think I’m going to sell and get a different camera system. I don’t like the fact that they are battery operated and The solar panels don’t really keep them charged in high traffic areas.

Hi there, MashaundaC. Sorry to hear you haven’t the best battery life on the Nest Cam (Battery). The lifespan of the battery will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and selected camera settings. On average here’s how long the battery will last on a single charge:
Busy - About 1 month battery life (about 25 - 30 recorded events per day) Typical - About 2.5 months battery life (about 13 - 16 recorded events per day) Quiet - About 6 months battery life (about 2 - 5 recorded events per day)
Here’s a few tips to conserve battery: 1. Optimize its video quality. 2. Shorten the length of time for which events are recorded. 3. Take longer to begin recording between events.

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