      Hi MikeJRZ, thanks for posting a review. We apologize if you’re unable to connect your Nest Cam (Battery) in your Nest App.

      The Nest Cam (Battery) is exclusive to the Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience. Our long term plan is to use the Google Home app as the one place you can control all of your favorite Nest and other smart home devices, as well as Google Assistant. In the near future, we’ll allow users to set up previous Nest devices and have full control in the Home app. Users with older cameras can view their camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new Nest Cams. Our team is working on bringing full functionality to the Google Home app so all of your cameras can be set up and controlled in one place.

      Your feedback is important to us as it will greatly help us understand our customers’ needs. If you have any questions or concerns, you can always reach out to our support team. We’d be more than happy to help here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Do not work as advertised. They will not connect unless plugged in to power. Installed wifi extender, and that didn't help. As soon as I plugged it in, works great. Great camera but not wireless as advertised.

    Best outdoor camera, but not your cheapest option

    This camera really is the easiest and most compatible option on the market. Installation is a breeze, you can plug it in for uninterrupted use and reserve the battery if there's a power outage. Yes, it costs more but you get what you pay for. If you're simply looking for the cheapest option, this is not it. If you want the best option, this is it... in my opinion.

    It doesn't send notifications even I walk on drive way, I have installed it wireless so not sure if this even works. May be I need to hard wire it to use the full benefits.

    Very good camera and very quick to react to motion. Google does limit it's capibilities until you subscribe to their service. But the camera does work very well.

      Hi DaveS, thanks for the review that you provided about the Nest Cam (Battery). Nest has long been focused on delivering quality products to our customers. We’re also focused on giving our customers value for the price, including three hours of event history right out of the box for the first time ever. On-device processing also gives our customers smart alerts and Activity Zones, which historically have required a subscription. There's no fee to stream full resolution live video and receive basic notifications, as long as your camera is connected to the internet. However, you’ll need a Nest Aware subscription to receive full and extra features. Check what you can get with the Nest Aware subscription here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9233159

      If there’s anything we can help you around the performance and functionality, including using the Nest camera effectively, please don’t hesitate to let us know anytime at: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Always Dysfunctional, & Always Says Offline. Can’t Watch Live Footage. First One Crapped Out After 1yr, Used My Warranty, Got A New One For Free. Second One Crapped Out After 12 Days. Went To Best Buy (which they’re amazing!) & Swapped It Out Yet Again (Because It Was Still Within The 14 Day Return Window)… Got A Third New One & Craopex Out After 30 Days!!! Went Back For A Full Refund. Do Not Buy The 2nd Generation Battery Wireless Option Ones!!! They Suck…. Now I Highly Dooooo Recommend Their Wired Nest IQ 1st Generation w/ Face Recognition 4K Outdoor/Indoor Cameras!!! I Have 2 Of Those For Over 6yrs Now & Absolutely No Complaints, Except The Fact That They Discontinued Them!!!

    Battery last less than a week while indoors, can't imagine if place outside. Definitely returning it and buying the corded one, not paying additionally for a cord that should be included with the cordless if battery will not last long. Super disappointed!

      Hello there, Lilybeth. We’re sorry to hear that your experience with the Nest Cam (battery) has been below your satisfaction. We understand your decision to return it.
