    Worst experience with these cameras. They work well in the begining and as time goes by the video quality goes to crap and the cameras stop connecting altogether. Every update released to the Home app seems to make things worse. If you dont care about security and throwing money away then these are the cameras for you. Worse is that they just jacked up the price to their subscription to habe these garbage cameras running. Worse buy of all hands down.

    This has been an excellent exterior camera for our 2nd home away from home. It allows us to check on it when we're away.

    It took a while to get it going but finally things fell into place. They need to put full directions on the box. I was looking at it look at me looking at it for a while. Then it watched me and I saw me. Finally, and on my own, I got things worked out. Thank God for being able to go online for help.

    Loved Nest app but transitioned to Google home, still getting used to it , has a great quality but only records pieces ,not 24 hour videos. I would rather do plugins,but if you’re installing it on a tree or Far from and outdoor electric outlet, Thai is the best camera to buy , life battery last for 30 days or more !

    It’s super great! I haven’t gotten into the settings of it yet but just with a basic setup it records when someone walks pass and I got it hooked up to my Alexa echo show 5 on my nightstand. I have it at the front door and you can communicate through it. The speaker on it is loud and clear and the mic is great too. I’m not looking forward to customizing it more so I’ll probably leave it as is. It comes with a white security cable also so you won’t have to buy one. I bought an extra pack of security cables not knowing that the nest comes with one.

    Nest Battery cams so so poor choice

    Very unhappy it takes forever to connect battery life is poor compared to competitors and is forever disconnecting from my WiFi which is the nest hub system. Blink cameras are much better in my opinion

      Hi there, user480158. Thanks for reaching out to us. We're sorry to hear that you're experiencing battery life and Wi-Fi disconnection issues with your Nest Cam (Battery).

      Here are some recommended steps that may be helpful with the Wi-Fi connectivity issue:
      - Check for possible congestion in your Wi-Fi network. Removing some of your connected devices can help free up some bandwidth space. You may then check to see if you will still experience the same connectivity issue.
      - Check for possible sources of interference such as the thick walls and appliances in your home.

      Battery life of Nest Cam (Battery) 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. Here are some typical scenarios for your Nest Cam (Battery):
      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)

      It's important to check the frequency of events (per day) that you get with your Nest Cam (Battery). If the short battery life isn´t related to the frequency of events, then we may need to have a closer look at your device and understand what may be causing it.

    Would have gave it a 5 star but was a little disappointed as they only come with 1 charger so you can’t charge both at the same time. If I would have known I would have purchased them separately so I could have had a charger for each. Other than that we love it.

    I love Nest wired cameras. This battery camera was only working in 20 seconds intervals whenever there was activity which I am not crazy about. I don't have that limitation with my wired cameras. I ended up buying the electric cable to extend the length of video recordings.

    Tried Simply Safe and other brand, but this is the best for me since didn't need to sign up and the fact that I already have Google account. Battery last decent, but easy to take down to recharge.

    Had to go wireless since my kids wanted to pull out everything plugged in the room. They can’t take this one down. Liked the wired one better since I didn’t have to charge it, but my kids decided that this is the one we’re using
