Performance is bad
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I honestly can't believe Google played these cameras. Picture is clear. Battery is okay. This camera does not pick up everything. Even when wired directly and running on 24/7. I have literally walked in front of in bright mid-day sun light with no alerts. I checked the history and also no isolated alerts. I would've returned but return date expired. The battery doorbell is even worse. I should've bought the older models but held out for these. Now I regret not buying the older models.

Posted .Hi CaptainN, thanks for letting us know about the issue. We apologize for the disappointing experience you´re having with the notifications and alerts for Nest Cam (Battery).
Nest Cam (Battery) determines when something moves based on how much an image changes over a short period of time. So, your camera may not send an alert if the following is true:
- The activity is out of your camera’s field of view.
- An object is blocking the camera’s view.
- The camera is very far away from the activity.
- The lighting in the scene is dim or washed out.
We recommend moving your Nest Cam (Battery) by changing your camera’s angle, or change something in the scene so that you don’t miss important activity.
If you still encounter the same issue, please consider contacting our support team for further help on the issue here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Cameras were a great buy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Picked up 4 of these cameras. I used an already installed magnetic base so installation was simple. Connecting my ipad to the cameras was also simple. Battery life has been great. They’ve been operating for about a month and they all show as still full. So far just perfect. The picture is exceptionally clear when I check-in online from out of country. I’d say these cameras were a great choice thus far.

Battery Life Stinks
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am super disappointed in the battery life. I am pushing to get 4 weeks but most times it doesn’t last. Reviews say average battery last 6 weeks up to 3 months. In my opinion that is totally bogus unless you want a worthless camera that is in such low quality it couldn’t discern any valuable features if needed. I am shocked they no longer offer the outdoor wires option. Google obviously isn’t proud of their battery as you can barely find any discussion on their site.

outside cam not capable of operation in the cold!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Let me share some background - I am a complete Google-verse person - Android device, Google Nest doorbell, thermostat and 5 cameras around the house,etc. I have been waiting for this camera to be available as I needed an Outside Camera to monitor my driveway. I knew well ahead of time that installing this camera would not tie into the Nest app (like the rest of my cameras) and I'd have to use it via Google Home app - but a black friday deal made me go for it - fully acknowledging I'd have two places to view my security cameras. I brought it home - had no issues - it installed easily and I was able to manipulate the camera without issue. Since its mounted outside, I had the 10m weatherproof power cable so I can keep it live 100% of the time. That was Saturday. Today is Monday, I live in the Chicago area....this camera is mounted outside. Woke up this morning - camera is disconnected. (WHAT?!) I went into the settings and the camera battery status is 0% with the message that the camera is disabled due to battery. Last night was a typical autumn night - low of about 25 degrees fahrenheit. I double checked the power outlet (working fine - other things are plugged into it, without issue). Now, I'm perplexed. Being a Googleverse person - I called Google support - was assisted by a very kind agent named Carol. Thru troubleshooting, we found that the battery has discharged due to the temperature being so low - 20 degrees. I pointed out the obvious - this is an outside camera, and 20 degrees is pretty mild compared to whats coming up in the next months here in Chicago. I suggested to her that this camera is faulty - and perhaps I need to have it replaced? She put me on hold - spoke to her supervisor - and gave me the resolution - I need to take the camera down, bring it inside, and recharge it. I was blown away! No way am I going to buy an outdoor camera and periodically (any time it gets cold) bring it inside to charge. Google provided no other recommendations. This camera is going back to the store and I am going to find an older Nest Outdoor camera to install. I have one other Nest Outdoor camera and its survived two harsh winters here - but to sell something as an outdoor camera and not have it be tolerant of cold weather is unacceptable to me. I hope Google gets their act in order - I understand the limitation of the app integration - but quality wise, this is sub-par at best.

Terrible Battery Life and Charging Time
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was my first time taking a chance on the wire free version of the camera. Only a year and a half in and it won't hold a charge more than a few days and it takes forever to charge. It is not in a high traffic area where it's triggered to record constantly, so the battery should hold up better especially for the cost.

Posted .Hi there, JasonJ. Sorry to see the Nest Cam (Battery) wasn’t quite what you were looking for. There are a number of things that can impact battery drain like activity, temperature, and selected camera settings. Here’s also a few tips to conserve more battery:
1. Change the video quality.
2. Adjust how much activity your camera records.
3. Shorten the maximum event length.
