    Camera works great. Good enough battery life, although I would recommend using wired all times and running on battery as back up.

    Had to return, too many cons for 'security' use

    Had to return these units. I wish Googe made the following limitations extremely clear before I wasted my time - 2 pack camera only comes with 1 cable - 10 minute person notification for alerts. Will not be alerted if someone breaks into your home less than 10 mins after you leave - on battery mode, PIR sensor used to waku up camera seems to have a distance of 10ft (maximum sensitity). Too short as a thief will not be detected until they are out of frame if they walk quickly pluses: unit feels very high quality and magnet is very very strong

      Hi there, thanks for taking the time to share your review on the Nest Cam (Battery). We’re sorry for the inconvenience these issues may have caused you, and we understand your decision to return it.

      Nest camera notifications are a little different. Because we don’t want to bombard you with alerts, you might get fewer than you expect if your camera is pointed at a busy spot. You can choose to receive notifications for everything your camera detects, or choose notifications for only certain types of activity. Here’s more information about notification settings you can change for your camera: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9210305

      Also, it only takes around 4-5 hours to fully charge the Nest Cam (battery). If there’s a need for more than one charging cable, or if you want the camera to be wired with continuous power, you can go with the optional Nest Cam (battery) Weatherproof Cable (in 5 m or 10 m) to keep your Nest Cam connected.

      Your feedback is important as we always aim to improve our products and services. If you’d like to try the new Nest Cam again in the future, we’d be happy to help improve your experience by visiting us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Cameras work great in the daytime, but at night the camera over my garage does NOT detect vehicles. This is a MAJOR flaw.

    Has a good battery life. Wish it recorded longer spans of time. Handy when you want a camera but don’t have a power source close by.
