    The camera is easy to install and the battery lasts a lot longer then some other reviews had indicated and I really like the magnet style mount it makes it simple when having to recharge the battery. All in all great camera gives me the piece of mind I was looking for

    These are great camera but can be hard to connect sometimes but once they are connected works great and good value subscription and add as many cameras as your need for one price.

    Mostly Disappointing- I'll tell you why below

    Aesthetically: much bigger than wired counterparts & color options missing Function: works well and has auto switching low and normal light, but no in-depth options like my other hub camera system, with regards to sensitivity, light indicator options, or with cheap generic cams from over 5 years ago that offer all those options with similar quality and selectable windows for motion and tons of other options so long as you use software that is the color of the sky and a part of your eye. Dirty: You will not be able to record to external drives, and it is an impossible task right now to connect to Nest Hub for video calls. Recording is limited without subscription to Nest Aware. I would not buy again If you're remotely tech savvy, get an old PC and buy security cam software and 3rd party cams, which are better and not limited by design.

    Good quality however the battery lasts me a little over 2 months with the best quality and medium sensitivity. Hoped it would last a bit longer. I turned the quality to the lower setting but it didn’t help much. You have to use the google home app to view video but it can sometimes take long to load or view events. The Nest app was much better in this. Shame It doesn’t work there.

      thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry for the poor battery life with your Nest Cam (Battery).

      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. 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're willing to try, we recommend checking 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 Nest Cam (Battery) and understand what may be causing it. You may contact our support team for further assistance here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    I have several Google-Nest cameras, both indoor and outdoor. They are all very easy to install and link to your internet. Google has changed a number of things on this new generation camera. Some good and some bad. First, all their outdoor cameras are now battery powered; you can add a power cable (extra cost) that the older version came with. These cameras are no longer part of the Nest ecosystem so you must download the Google Home app to view the camera. I prefer the Nest app but it seems Google has abandon it in favor of their own. This camera will deliver very clear pictures both in daylight and at night. Motion detection is excellent.

    So it works, but the fact that you have to take it down and charge it and then put it back up requires a ladder and time and then repositioning. Granted we could have mounted it a little lower, but we are interested in the hardwired version for the future.

    Overall great security camera! I would definitely recommend getting the long power cable so you can hardwire it in though. Otherwise it goes into sleep mode to preserve battery and then is completely reliant on the motion sensor which is not always sensitive enough to pick up motion.

    With google background, I figured it would be a great product. We haven't had one issue, get a kick out of when someone is inside talking to the person outside. Being able to jump on the app and see and hear wverything around is amazing. I feel so safe and confident, I'm buying more

    Why only a single charging chord with two cameras?

    I would have given this item 5 stars but the two pack only came with a single charging cord. This was not made clear in the product marketing so a little misleading. Bad on Google. Cameras are solid.

    Good camera. Not so good night quality 7/10 here. Change lasts a while depending how often the camera sees something. The more it sees something the more battery it uses. Try to keep out of direct sun and rain too. Really easy to use on the smart phone
