I have 2 of the old gen but this one works just the same. Only issue is that you have to view it through google app and not the best app. So now I have 2 apps that send notifications and if when viewing I have ti do the same
Hi ChiefScottyB, thanks for sharing your review. We can see that your experience with your Nest Cam (battery) has been less than ideal when it comes to the app you use for the device. We understand your concern in having to check two different apps instead of just one. You may set up your older Nest cameras to the Google Home app so you can consolidate all your cameras to one app. For instructions, you may check out this help article: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9293657

Nice camera. If you have Nest aware, it will only save 24/7 if it is connected to power supply. Unless it is set up within a couple of feet of an outlet, you'll need to buy the 5 or 10 meter extension as the connector is proprietary.
Hi LTM1, we really appreciate your feedback on Nest Cam (battery) and Nest Aware. Our goal is to give users like you more choice. With event video history, we wanted our products to help our customers understand what’s going on at home easily and showcase the important activity for you. We still offer 24/7 video history on wired Nest Cams with a Nest Aware Plus subscription, for users who want to see everything that happens at home. And we continue to invest in the use of both technologies. Also, You can connect your camera to a power outlet with the included charging cable for continuous power and to keep the battery charged. Please note that the power adapter included with the Nest Cam (battery) is not weatherproof and not intended for outdoor use, and that’s when you can use a compatible weatherproof cable (sold separately).
For other concerns, issues, or anything you want to share, please don’t hesitate to contact us here and we’d be more than happy to help you: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Quality camera. The battery last quite long and you can purchase a plug or solar power panel to keep it charged. I don’t care for the Home app. I prefer the older Nest platform.
Hello there, EricN. We appreciate that you like the Nest Cam (battery). We’re aware that longtime Nest users enjoy viewing their Nest camera feeds from the Nest app. However, 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. 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.

Highly recommend if you don't want to run wires we did add the the small solar panel and have never had an issue and we have purchased three cameras and three solar panels always charged always available to view our cameras would definitely recommend also great resolution would recommend spending a little more for more space via the cloud to be able to review for their back than the standard aside from that excellent

Super easy to install and just works. I placed this above the back door of my office to keep an eye on the alley behind. A clear picture and is just what I wanted.

The Google nest cameras seem to be working very well so far!

I am not impressed with these cameras, and very annoyed that my older cams work better on the Nest app and these newer cameras only work on the Google Home app. I don't care which app I use, but at least make one app fully functional with all generations of cameras. I mean isn't Google supposed to be better than that? As for the cameras themselves, they constantly disconnect and reconnect, freeze, or are unavailable. I have a very expensive and powerful mesh gaming router with extenders, a high-end modem, and 1000Gps internet. There is no reason they should have such a poor signal. Lastly, the batteries are a joke even with light traffic. They claim a couple of months, I barely get a week out of them which forced me to buy and run a cable where I didn't want to. I have 11 nest devices in my home including cams, doorbell cams, thermostats, and door locks, and I have been unimpressed with all of them. If I wasn't so deep into Nest I would not have purchased these cams. But I am, so I did, and I continue to be disappointed. Only reason I gave them 2 stars instead of 1 is because they are much cheaper than their predecessors. I do not recommend!

Very good camera , got it on sale , only downside is it has to be charged maybe 1 time every 2 weeks depends on how much use it gets
Hi Rayados, thanks for leaving feedback to let us know of your concerns with the Nest Cam (battery). We understand that having to charge the battery oftentimes can be an inconvenience. 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. That way, you don’t have to charge it more often than you should. You may also consider connecting your camera to a power outlet with the included or optional power adapter for continuous power and to keep the battery charged. Please note that the power adapter included with the Nest Cam (battery) is not weatherproof and not intended for outdoor use, and that’s when you can use a compatible weatherproof cable (sold separately).

Cameras were easy to setup and install. Still determining how long the batteries will last. The cameras seem to be very well made, are heavy and the magnet very strong.

Absolutely love the quality of the picture and look of this camera. Battery life is a bit short but you can modify the camera sensitivity to extend battery life.

A good product, but I wish Google had not purchased Nest.
Setup was very easy and straightforward but the new devices can only be viewed in the Google home app and not in the nest app which is a disappointment.
Quality is as expected though.
