Work great with my Google home
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cameras work great. Nice clear picture and simple to install. The only thing about wireless cameras is that you have to charge them about once a week at the earliest and once every three weeks at the latest.

Posted .Hi Lucy, thanks for giving us feedback about using the Nest Cam (battery), and we're sorry to hear that your experience with its battery life isn’t ideal.
Battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. You can extend the battery life of your camera by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas. This link might be helpful: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10901611
Here are some typical scenarios.
Busy: About 1.5 months battery life (about 20 - 25 recorded events per day)
Typical: About 3 months battery life (about 9 - 12 recorded events per day)
Quiet: About 7 months battery life (about 2 - 4 recorded events per day)
If you still have to charge the battery more often than you’d like, you might want to consider connecting your camera to a power outlet with the included or optional power adapter. Connecting to continuous power will keep the battery charged. Please note that the power adapter included with the Nest Cam (battery) is not weatherproof and not intended for outdoor use and you can use a compatible weatherproof cable (sold separately).

Google - Nest Cam Battery 2-Pack
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall, the cameras have met my expectations. Great visual quality based on camera feed(s), extremely easy to install and position for optimal viewing coverage. Very satisfied with overall operability and use. Only downside, but manageable, is that the added cameras only work on the Google Home Network when added to an existing operable Nest Doorbell Camera operating system. But, as mentioned earlier, completely manageable through the Google Home networking system.

Reliable Indoor/Outdoor Cameras / Easy Install
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice Indoor/Outdoor cameras. Easy to install with flexible mounting options and plenty of accessories for various mounting ideas. I always run these cameras plugged-in. I never run them on battery mode. However, I'm sure they operate nicely as rechargeable units. Adding a Nest Aware subscription gives you recording and playback options with a basic subscription at $8 per month.

Good hardware. Lackluster Google Home services.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy setup. Easy to configure to your Google Home account. I'm not overly impressed with the with the way Google home does it's video recording. It's not constant recording and the cameras can miss things.

Nest Outdoor/Indoor Camera
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have purchased a significant amount of Nest Cameras (Indoor and Outdoor) in the past. I have no idea why these cameras have gotten so very large vs what they used to be. It makes for a much more noticeable unit installed. Also does not come with the cord which is an added expense whereas they always came with the unit. I do NOT use these as a battery operated unit only so have to plug them in. Not as happy with these newer outdoor cameras

Sparty88
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I purchased my house 2 years ago, there was a Nest outdoor camera in place. When it didn't cover the front door as well as I would have liked, I added a Nest doorbell camera. Now I wanted to add a camera for the back door. I went with Nest to integrate all my cameras and have it under the same security system. Going with the wireless model may have been short-sighted on my part. The camera was easy to install. It literally took less than 10 minutes. Granted I'm still adjusting the settings, but it doesn't seem to cover as much from a video standpoint as the other cameras. This is perhaps due to the battery power and the need to conserve. (I may add a weather proof cable if I can't get the settings to my satisfaction.)

Major Battery & Charging Problems
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought a 2-pack and have used them for about a year. One of the cameras works ok, but often doesn't pick up motion. The other cam is terrible. The battery takes 2-3 days to charge. Constantly says that it's an incompatible charger, eventhough it's the cable that came with it, and charges the other cam fine. It can't charge while mounted. The battery only lasts about 3-5 days, with no activity. The battery is a serious problem and makes the purchase unusable.

Posted .Hello there, Allen. We appreciate the feedback you shared about the Nest Cam (battery). We’re sorry to learn that your experience, with the motion detection and battery life, is less than ideal.
It may be helpful to adjust the wake-up sensitivity of your camera to decide when to wake up and start recording. If the wake-up sensitivity is low:
- It decreases the range at which the camera can sense activity.
- It increases the amount of time it takes for the camera to wake up once it senses activity.
Here's how to adjust the wake-up sensitivity in your camera settings:
- Open the Home app.
- Touch and hold your device's tile.
- Tap Settings > Video > Wake-up sensitivity.
- Choose the High setting.
We’d like to investigate why the battery life is significantly lower than expected so we can help improve your experience. Please get in touch with us through our contact channels found here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Wonderful camera!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the ease of installing and setting up these cameras. As long as you install the app on your phone you will always get notifications when something crosses into its path. The night vision is great as well.

Wire free security cameras
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not going to lie, these have come in handy. We've been able to catch people in our community letting their dogs poop in our yard and notify them they were caught. Plus we feel a lot safer knowing we can see what's going on in and around our home.

Should include outdoor power cables.
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are great cameras but they should have included the outdoor power cables. Battery life is ok but if it's in an active area, you need to have it powered. Video quality is good. App is... not great... but it works. It's sometimes very glitchy when trying to browse video history.

Peace of Mind
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works perfectly when I leave for days so I get alerts and can remotely check in on the interior of my property. When I get home, I can turn it off and easily take it down as the camera to the base is magnetic.

Great if you're committed to the Google ecosystem
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For anyone looking for the cleanest, most seamless outdoor camera this nest cam is by far the best looking one currently available. The picture is crisp and the new Google Home app brings all my smart switches, thermostats, locks and even shades together under one app and everything is accessible via voice command. I do wish Google offered a portable charging solution that doesn't require taking the camera off and then having to find and reposition the camera again once it's charged back to its original angle.

Posted .Hey there, Alwin. Thanks for posting your feedback on the Nest Cam (battery). We appreciate that you like its integration with the Home app, and for finding it the cleanest and best looking camera by far. We hear your concern, and we understand that having a portable charger to charge the camera without taking it off can be a convenience for you. We’ll share this with the right team for future improvements. Meanwhile, you might want to consider connecting your camera to a power outlet with the included power adapter for continuous power and to keep the battery charged. Please note that the power adapter included with the Nest Cam (battery) is not weatherproof and not intended for outdoor use, and we suggest using a compatible weatherproof cable (sold separately).

Sucks it doesn’t work with the old app
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works like the old nest cams. Has a battery, but to get continuous feed, they MUST be plugged in. The cameras MUST use the google home app, and do not show up in the nest app. This is fine if you don’t have any legacy nest cams, but if you do, the legacy cams in the google home app DO NOT have the same functionality as they do in the nest app. For example, if I want to scroll through the timeline just to see what happened that day, above and beyond the normal motion and sound alerts, the google home app does not allow me to do this for the legacy cameras. If google wants us to only use the google home app, then the functionality for the legacy devices needs to also be included.
