Terrible product
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don’t get this product because it needs to be charged often so if it’s high you will need a ladder to get it off charge it then put it back. Additionally this product only comes with one charger for 3 cameras. Terrible product

Posted .Hey there, Lyradi. We’re sorry to hear you’re having to charge the Nest Cam (Battery) so often. The battery life on the Nest doorbell (battery) will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and selected camera settings. On average here’s how long the battery will last on a single charge:
Busy - About 1 month battery life (about 25 - 30 recorded events per day)
Typical - About 2.5 months battery life (about 13 - 16 recorded events per day)
Quiet - About 6 months battery life (about 2 - 5 recorded events per day)
Here’s a few tips to conserve battery:
1. Optimize its video quality.
2. Shorten the length of time for which events are recorded.
3. Take longer to begin recording between events.

Warning: doesn't work well with old Nest Cameras
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just talked with Google Nest support and this 'Nest' camera does NOT work with the Nest app, only the Google home app. WORSE is that the old Nest cameras don't fully work in the Google home app (no video history). So the answer from support is using two separate apps to get alerts and video history. That is crazy. So don't buy unless you don't own any Nest products currently. And even then--the Google Home app is pretty bad/not easy to use. They should remove the name 'Nest' from the product and give warnings about this.

Posted .Hi Dudeman, we appreciate your feedback and thanks for sharing your insights about the Nest Cam (Battery). We understand how inconvenient it is to have two separate apps to control and manage your cameras.
The new Nest cameras and doorbells are exclusive to the Home app, but you can view your old Nest Cams in the Home app alongside the new Nest Doorbell and Nest Cams. If you set up your camera or doorbell in the Home app, you can use the Home app to change its settings, and if you first set up your camera or doorbell in the Nest app, most of its settings will be in the Nest app, but you can also change some settings in the Home app. Camera settings that appear in both the Home app and Nest app (for example, turning the camera on or off) will look different. However, changing one of these settings in one app will be reflected in the other app.
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. In the meantime, if you have any concerns around the performance and features of the Nest Cam (Battery), let us know here and we’d be happy to help: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Great cameras
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to set up. Outstanding performance. Has battery in it in case of power outage that can be hard wired aswell
I would recommend this to a friendNot worth the investment
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We regret investing in the Google ecosystem. The products are a dead end with almost incremental improvement or updates from Google. Functionality is limited to a few convenient use cases but lacks many key features with no options for expansion or to use the cameras outside of googles system. Very difficult to review or export footage and due to cloud aspect video is seldom available in real time when it can be important. I definitely would not depend on this stuff for security. We will be installing a real camera system

We're committed to addressing your concern though it's disheartening to hear that you're moving away from the Google Nest ecosystem, we respect your decision and appreciate your feedback.
