Solid wireless outdoor camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the second Google Nest outdoor wireless camera we set up along with a Nest doorbell. Cameras can be customized to alert you and the Google subscription service allows you see 30 days of video history. Cameras have high resolution, wide angle viewing and the night vision is great.

Nest Google camera
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love it because it has a nice wide view. At first the battery lasted about 3 months but the more it videos it makes the battery run down faster like 6 weeks.

I would recommend this to a friend - Cons mentioned:App compatibility
Ok but…
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good but in some ways they’re a downgrade. The biggest downside is you can’t use the Nest app and you have to use Google Home app which is not as good IMO. If this is your first Nest camera you’ll be fine. If you’re coming from or adding to older Nest IQ cameras you might be disappointed

Good cameras
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Video excellent fast access to live video and up to 3 months history
I would recommend this to a friend Good additional camera
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have nest gen 1 cameras and iq at the perimeter of my home. Those require power all of the time. We purchased these cameras for areas we don't see a lot of traffic/alerts. The camera does a decent job, not as good as the gen 1 or iq cameras. The picture is decent and so far battery life is as listed in the cameras description. I do not like the fact I cannot use the nest app to view these cameras like the rest of my cameras. You must use the Google home app. I'm hoping over time, google will push software upgrades to allow these cameras to reach their full potential.

I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Connectivity
Terrible to reconnect to new network.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have both blink and google cams in my house. One of my cameras loses connection pretty frequently, I'd say that blink is more reliable in that area. This would be a great camera if they were a little easier to update wifi. I like to change my wifi password every once in a while. Today, I bought a new mesh network, and I had to grab ladders and pull each device down, factory reset, then reconnect them. It's such a time suck, I'm not entirely sure why it can't be done without that. With blink, you just update the base and all devices connected to it work. I like the rest of the features, and it works most of the time.

- Cons mentioned:Battery life
Good
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The battery life is not very long. The only thing I wish is that it had a better battery life. Easy setup. Looks great indoors and out. I like that it’s wireless. Wish you can you the nest app rather than the google home app.

Posted .Hi there Coolmom, thanks for choosing our Google Nest products. We're glad to hear that Nest Cam (Battery) has been great for you. We're sorry to hear that the battery and the exclusivity of the Google Home app for the new generation of Nest cameras fell short of meeting your expectations.
We wanted to make the Google Home app as the one place where you can control all your favorite Nest devices and other smart home devices with the Google Assistant. Here are some benefits you can get by using the Google Home app with your Nest Cam (Battery):
- Automatic security protections such as Suspicious activity detection, 2-Step Verification and Security Checkup.
- Your Google Nest devices and services will work together. For example, if you have a Nest Cam and a Nest Hub, just say, """"Hey Google, show me the backyard camera” to cast your camera stream to your display without any additional setup.
- One account to sign into both the Nest and Google Home apps.
- Your homes and home members will be aligned across the Nest and Google Home apps.
- If you're willing, you may set up your Nest cameras to the Google Home app. Check out this help article: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9893532
Battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. Users can extend the battery life of their 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)
We highly 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 device and understand what may be causing it.

- Pros mentioned:Camera quality, Installation
Easy Setup and Great Picture
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got these for my parents and glad I spent a little more for Google. Easy setup and mounting, plus the clarity of the picture quality is worth the extra money...

Winning
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These cameras do exactly what I want them to do, work. And for the price at the time of purchase, how could I resist?
I would recommend this to a friend Everything is perfect except one thing
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What if I wrote a review like people post YouTube videos? Hey there's three things that I like (number three will surprise you) so make sure you read to the end! Well you're not going to get that here because I think that is stupid. All you're going to get from me is this camera with the only valuable item in it...the high powered magnet on it that records loops of video that you can't delete individually. But I bought this to watch my dogs in their crates so otherwise I wouldn't have bought any of this crud.

Good security cam
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great quality built. Love the night vision, very clear and I love that it can distinguish a person from an animal. Would definitely recommend. The only down side is that it doesn’t come with a way to secure it so it won’t get stolen. This is why I can’t give it a 5 star.
