    Battery Life Stinks

    I am super disappointed in the battery life. I am pushing to get 4 weeks but most times it doesn’t last. Reviews say average battery last 6 weeks up to 3 months. In my opinion that is totally bogus unless you want a worthless camera that is in such low quality it couldn’t discern any valuable features if needed. I am shocked they no longer offer the outdoor wires option. Google obviously isn’t proud of their battery as you can barely find any discussion on their site.

    Picked up 4 of these cameras. I used an already installed magnetic base so installation was simple. Connecting my ipad to the cameras was also simple. Battery life has been great. They’ve been operating for about a month and they all show as still full. So far just perfect. The picture is exceptionally clear when I check-in online from out of country. I’d say these cameras were a great choice thus far.

    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.

    Terrible Battery Life and Charging Time

    This was my first time taking a chance on the wire free version of the camera. Only a year and a half in and it won't hold a charge more than a few days and it takes forever to charge. It is not in a high traffic area where it's triggered to record constantly, so the battery should hold up better especially for the cost.

      Hi there, JasonJ. Sorry to see the Nest Cam (Battery) wasn’t quite what you were looking for. There are a number of things that can impact battery drain like activity, temperature, and selected camera settings. Here’s also a few tips to conserve more battery:

      1. Change the video quality.
      2. Adjust how much activity your camera records.
      3. Shorten the maximum event length.
