    Easy to install and fit nicely where we needed it to. Battery is good, if it’s in a busy area you might have to charge more frequently but it does an amazing job. Always make sure to check setting for video for how often clips are taken.

    Solid camera with great picture quality. Integrates very well with Google Home. The only thing that keeps me from giving it 5 stars is the charging can be a pain sometimes. The charging pins have to be cleaned from time to time before charging or it won't begin to charge.

    Excellent picture quality and easy set up to Google/Nest sites. Happy to see the power cord can stay connected all the time as I had the power nearby and did not want to recharge the unit. Very impressive night vision, picture clarity is exceptional

    I switched from an older Arlo camera to this new Next Cam Battery and it really wasn't an upgrade. The nest cam itself is pretty huge, far bigger the my arlo, so you would think the battery life would be better. But it isn't. So far it is dropping about 1% a day, which while that sounds ok, the Arlo is so much better. Then there are the notifications or lack of notifications I should say. With the Arlo I never missed anything it isn't field of view, the nest seems far, far less sensative and no amount of changing the settings has improved this. The real kicker seeing how this is a google product is that is doesnt' stream to other google products. The Arlo would show on my google TV when I asked google to show it, but this Google Nest camera can't do that. Overall this was not an upgrade from a 4-year-old Arlo camera. Arlo had better notifications, better battery and better integration with other google products.

      Hi CG1216, thanks for sharing your feedback about the good picture quality of the Nest Cam (battery), and we’re sorry to hear that the battery life is below your preference.

      Battery life depends on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. 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. Check this link for more details: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10901611

      Here are some typical scenarios.
      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)

      If you find yourself in need of any help or guidance, please don’t hesitate to let us know here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Overall a well integrated Google product, seemless connectivity with Google home, which works on Apple and Android. After 11 months of usage, no issues with connectivity, was able access the camera remotely, even from otherside of planet , thanks to powerof Internet. Got two cameras, one is flickering in the night, looks like IR (infra red) module could be broken. Functinality in Day is good. Is battery powered, however needs charging, but also can take external power. So if you are planning for leaving long term 2 weeks or more, recommend buying external cable, costs extra. Also has magnetic bases, gives flexibility with installing on doors without additional tools. Pricing is on the higher side. I am hoping Google will replace my faulty camera whichisstillinwarranty, that is one of the reasons I bought this camera, my experience with Google with another claim was good. If you have a slightly higher budget and want Google backed product, i would go with this. Also for camera recordings, default free event history you only see last 3 hours of information, the monthly plan costs extra.

    So far I'm happy .... replaced another brand cameras with this because I initially wanted to go with something wired. After looking at many, decided to try the Nest Battery Camera. Haven't had it long enough to comment on battery life. It is easy (and fast) to charge, and has great video quality. Especially easy to monitor from the Google Home app which I was already using for my Nest Thermostat.

    Probably one of the most reliable cameras I've purchased. This was an addition to an existing nest system, and it impressed as usual! Pairing with a solar panel is also the perfect combo!

    Google Home App Terrible

    Wish I could return but took too much time to get it setup after purchasing. Buyer beware - not compatable with the Nest App. I shoulda done my research before just assuming that this would connect with my other Nest cameras but I didnt. Google Home app is terrible for video monitoring! Not only can I not see this camera where my other camera feeds are, it only shows event activity when reviewing video, doesnt alert you to a low battery, doesn't wake up fast enough to record an event which knocked the camera down even though an animal walked in front of it several hours later, and doesnt allow zoning. What a waste of money.

    Integrated with older Nest/Google system very easily. Battery lasts several weeks (depending on the setting) before needing to charge. I have these in odd locations so hardwiring was not an option. I eventually added the solar charging panel and haven't had to take them down to charge since (even in sub-zero temps). Great clarity and wide field of view. Very reliable.

    They are good quality for wireless. Sometimes the feed won't pull up when you try to view it but usually backing out and opening it again fixes it. Also they do not like cold weather. It doesn't effect video quality just battery life.

    Love this product works great. Got it installed yesterday by Best Buy and didn’t take long at all to install. I have a Google Nest Camera With the floodlight that I’ve had for over a year now, so I purchased a second camera. Google Home app helps me monitor the two cameras plus I’ve got installed a Yale lock system which is also controlled with Google Home and nest thermostat and I can also control with my Google Home app. I have my smart home set up going on . the two cameras in the lock I purchased from Best Buy. And because I’m a total tech member, I had Best Buy come and install all three products.
