Solid Cam
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Solid camera, misses an occasional alert during a cool down period. The battery only is nice, having the option of plugging in is great. Wish it came with waterproof cord

Posted .Hello there, thanks for posting a feedback about the Nest Cam (battery), and we’re glad that you find it a solid camera.
Google Nest attempts to send you the right number of alerts at the right times, so the camera will trigger a short cooldown period each time a notification is sent. While the duration of the cooldown period varies by alert type (person, sound, motion, etc.) the behavior remains the same. Once an event begins, an alert is sent and the cooldown period begins. Until the cooldown period expires without any new activity of that type, no new alerts of that type are sent.
We hear your concern about having the weatherproof cable included with the purchase of Nest Cam (battery), and we’ll pass it along to the right team as we’re always looking for ways to improve our products and services. Meanwhile, you can use the included power adapter to connect your camera to a power outlet for continuous power. However, please note that the power adapter included with the Nest Cam (battery) is not weatherproof and not intended for outdoor use.
For questions and concerns about the performance and features of the Nest cameras, our dedicated team of support is ready to provide you with assistance here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Quality Product and Easy to Install
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super impressed with the quality of these cameras. I’ve built a great Google Nest and home system. So easy to install. I saw other camera security systems that would have been a nightmare to install with wires and cords all over the place. Google Nest was a great buy, especially since they were on sale.

Easy to Set Up and Use
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The camera was easy to set up with the out of the box directions. There are several videos on YouTube, but it was a very straightforward set up. I opted for the optional 15 foot cable over the standard cable as I already have a Google Nest Aware subscription and I wanted to have 24/7 monitoring. Having the back up battery is a nice feature though.

Overall is good
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not bad. Battery is not the best, but it’s not too bad as long as you set up the camera correctly that it doesn’t drain the battery too much. Recording is good.

Our neighbors cars got burned down by arsonists
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I felt bad about my neighbors vehicles. They were set ablaze by some local hoodlums. I wanted to make sure my cars had some protection. So I immediately went to best buy and bought this system. Now its both a great deterrent and protector for my vehicles. Great quality video and has two way talk feature.

So much better than Arlo
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After suffering through various horrible quality Arlo cams, this is a nice change. The picture quality is fantastic and the image loads quickly. I wish I had gone with google from the start.

Not exactly what I thought
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Camera is good. Very flexible in placement, and batter life lasts a long time. My biggest disappointment with this product is I have used Nest products for many years, and this does not work on the nest app. Only the terrible google app. Very disappointing!! Only would recommend if you never had any Nest products before. If you have, I don’t consider this a nest product, as Google has sunk in their claws into the product line and killed a good thing.

Great quality camera
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great for in home. I use to keep track of dog. Only downside is that if you have settings set to have on for any movement, the battery drains really fast.

Batters last longer then I though they would.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.That battery seems to last a long time, and it was easy to setup. I just wish there was a setting to shut off the IR lights as they cause a glare on a window.
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from Nest Support
Posted .Hi Tckid, thanks for posting your review on Nest Cam (battery). We can see that you're experiencing some difficulties with the IR lights of your device. We'd suggest adjusting its position to avoid any glare. However, if you want to turn it off you can follow the steps here:
- On the home screen, select the camera you want.
- Tap Video.
- Under Night Vision, select from Always on, Auto, or Off.
Please be advised that if you switch Night Vision to 'Off' your camera will not automatically turn on night vision when it gets dark. For further assistance or additional questions about your Nest Cam, please contact us on our Google Help page here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Solid camera addition
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We already had a NestCam system, but we had some blind spots around the perimeter. As these are newer than the originals, they don't show up in the Nest App, but everything shows up in the Google Home app. The battery life is decent, with active cameras lasting 2 weeks, less active units lasting less.
I would recommend this to a friend Great hardware but worst software
