Read lots of commentary about battery life. Battery life is fine… been using them for weeks and both batteries are still at 70% or better. Video quality and face recognition are excellent.

Very disappointed. I have 1GB Wi-Fi speed. I bought this camera a few days ago. I am very disappointed. It is problematic trying to get a live view once battery percentage drops below 70. Also, at night, the video feed is in BLACK AND WHITE, even though there is a bright porch light somefour feet away!!! (What is up with that?) I have a Ring Doorbell located three feeet away; it has no problem providing clear colr video. I am searching for a different camera, as I will probably retun this pathetic device.

very convenient to install any place around your home, but the battery does not last long, i mean only few days, which is very inconvenient
Hi there, ChrisJ. We appreciate that you like the functionality of the Nest Cam (battery). We hear your concern about its battery life.
The battery life depends on several factors including activity frequency, temperature, and the camera settings you select. You can extend the battery life of your doorbell by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas. Check this link for tips on how to save the battery: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10901611
Meanwhile, if you think that the battery life is significantly lower than expected, we welcome you to contact us anytime so we can investigate and help improve your experience, here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Firstly, let me say that this device has lots of pros. The ability to have a battery powered security camera which I can install anywhere is very nice. Some folks have complained about the video resolution but I personally find it adequate.
HOWEVER, there are a few limitations that are infuriating. The fact that this is a Google NEST camera but doesn't allow you to use the NEST app is very annoying. Instead, you are forced to use Google's clunky and half-baked "home" app which is slow, buggy, and allows for limited customization. Secondly, there is a subscription fee if you want this camera to be useful at all, which I really wouldn't mind, except that it is shockingly overpriced.
