Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great outdoor cameras. Added peace of mind and security.

Cameras are great, however not a fan of the recharging of the cameras. They last for me about 10-14 days.

its a okay product, I bought wired one and this one, i think wired one is better, because the battery wont last very long if you are in a busy street . screen image is not very clear

Pretty good quality it works good. I will recommend it.

These cameras are great. We bought them to monitor the dogs when they are in the yard. The clarity is great. The battery life is really good. They recharge quickly. They are completely wireless, so I can put them anywhere.

This has met our needs for outdoor security. Vey clear and sound quality is good.

Works very well and a great way to keep an eye on things and know what is going on around the house.

The battery life is no where near advertised. I get about a week on a charge. They could last much longer if there was a way to trigger them on and off with Google Home Automations or even a simple turn on when away, but sadly no such setting. Can't even schedule them on or off at certain times of the day. People have been complaining about this since they came out, but Google has yet to remedy this.

Very clear picture on this camera. It was really easy to install on a tree in my yard.

I have google everything so this was a no brainer. Was a bit upset that the Nest app didn't control these, I've gotten used to using the home app now for everything. My front yard camera gets a lot of action and I have to charge it weekly. They remove rather easy and charge in 2-3 hours.

Good product, just wish battery lasted longer. But was very easy to setup.

I am pleased with this product however, after one month’s use the battery already requires recharging. It is setup with the basic defaults and a maximum of 30 sec recordings. I get about 15 events a day so did not expect that to drain the battery so quickly.

It is relatively easy to install and good picture quality is available immediately.

Love the Nest cams! I’ve owned 3 of them prior with no issues! Bought this 3pk for gifts!!!

I can’t get the camera to pick up the last 4 digits to connect camera and it doesn’t let me manually plug in. I guess it is not compatible with my current Nest System. Very frustrating. I am going to return. I gave it an average because I am sure it works great if I could get it going, I am returning the camera.

It is misleading for Google to call this new Google Nest Camera Battery a "Nest" camera. It does not work with the Nest app along with all of our other Nest cameras. It cannot be accessed online from a computer along with our other Nest cameras on the Home Nest website. Further, unlike our other Nest cameras, we cannot manually edit clips from video history and cannot even gather a video clip from the Home Nest website from a computer. Google says it's "committed to providing a seamless Home app experience for our [Nest camera] customers." Then why can't we configure our existing Google Nest cameras and doorbells and view their history from the Google Home app? Why can't we access the new Nest camera online from our computer? Why do we have to use two different apps to get notifications from our Google Nest cameras? Why does the new Nest camera not have the Enhance feature present on our existing Nest cameras to set zoom when recording history? Why can we only get email notifications from our existing Nest cameras and not this new Nest camera? This is NOT "seamless." Releasing this camera without having this in place and instead promising to improve it sometime in the future is like selling a new car and saying "sorry, unlike your current car, reverse gear doesn't work right now, and the windows and air conditioning also don't work right now; we're working on adding those features in the future. And by the way, the old model is no longer available." As a long-time Google Nest customer, I am profoundly unhappy with our new Google Nest camera, which we purchased because the previous Google Nest outdoor camera is no longer available. This new camera is really a "beta" release and Google should be compensating customers for testing its as-yet-unfinished product.

I'm giving these a 5-star rating because they can actually be used as a security device. Every other doorbell cam and WiFi camera cannot. If your WiFi goes down because of someone with a jammer, these keep recording up to 3 hours of footage and upload it when they are back online. They also have WPA3 security to require PMF so they can't be deauthed. No other camera besides a hard-wired camera (like PoE) can be used as a security device except these. Thank you Google for trying. Yes the app needs work and they lack features but at least you can rely on them. I tested it out just to be sure. Shut down the WiFi router, moved around in front of these (one plugged in, other on battery), went back and turned the router on and there it was- the footage taken without WiFi sitting right there in the Google Home app like it never missed a beat for both cameras.

I have 6 Google cameras so far and I think this last purchase (Google outdoor wireless/battery) will be the last. It's sad as I was hoping to buy 2 more outdoor but I'm now re-assessing other cameras. I hope Google and Bestbuy stops selling these as it is shortchanging their customers. Aside from removing most of the original Nest features like the ability to scrub videos, if you look at Google community you will see that there are lots of issues around the battery options. The wired are OK. I've never had problems with Google/Nest cameras (I think I have all of them except the floodlights). This one purchase for my 2nd time charging it (about 6 months out from purchase) took way past 12 hrs. I strongly believed I've got a defective one but Bestbuy wouldn't honor the warranty since I did not purchase the GeekSquad plan. So I guess there's no point anymore to buy directly from BestBuy then. If you must buy it, at least purchase directly from Google so you'll have the history and the possibility of getting support. I'm now stuck with this one odd camera that I would have to leave overnight for charging in the future which is not supposed to be.

This is my third Nest camera (the other two were in a home that we sold). I'm using this for security for our backyard. The video quality is excellent and the price is a decent value.

LOVE these Nest cameras. My only issues is they still don't work with the ADT Control app, but other than that they are great.
