I wanted to love these SO SO badly. We need more legit battery-operated cameras in the market. We are a Google Home home, and have lots of Google products that we love and use every day, but it's as if these were released incomplete. They are crazy heavy, the battery is terrible, and we had such poor interference with our ceiling-mounted LED lights, that the video would be nearly obscured with black stripes. We went through Google to get replacements, which we'll try out, but are not hopeful.

It a good camera. Not as good as the old nest cameras but still decent for most people. The only downside is you have to use the god awful atrocious Google Home app. Get a bridge to use the Home app.
Hi Asymptote, thanks for posting your feedback about the Nest Cam (battery) and the Google Home app, and we’re sorry to learn it has not met your expectations.
We’re aware that longtime Nest users enjoy viewing their Nest camera feeds from the Nest app. However, our priority with this launch was building a complete experience for our new cameras and doorbell in the Google Home app. While the new Nest cameras and doorbells are exclusive to the Google Home app, users with previous versions of Nest cameras can view their camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new Nest Doorbell and Nest Cams. Also, Google accounts come with the added benefits, such as one account to sign into both the Nest and Google Home apps, automatic security protections, your Google Nest devices and services working together, and more.
We're always here to help you improve your experience. Our dedicated support team can guide you with using your Nest camera effectively in the Google Home app, and you'll find us always available here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Easy to set up, mount, and get running but having to recharge every 10 days
Hi there, Todd. Thank you for sharing your feedback on the battery life of your Nest Cam (battery). The built-in rechargeable batteries are made for long-lasting battery life and should give you at least 1.5 months if the device is busy(about 20-25 recorded events per day). It's important to us that we provide you with the best help possible and identify the cause of the battery issues you’re having with your device. Please reach out to our dedicated team of specialists on our Google Nest Help page for immediate support here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

I don’t understand all the poor reviews. I just moved into my new house and went from Ring to Nest. I bought these battery cameras because where i wanted my cameras there was no power source anywhere near it. They work great and ive had no issues at all. The battery life is not an issue unless your trying to record 24/7. If you do motion only and create a zone and pick people and vehicles it will last for a month or 2 before needing a charge.

We have several of these cameras around the house. Slowly been replacing the old nest cameras. I just wish they had the same fuctions as the old nest cameras but the new features are good as well.

Bought this pair of Google Nest cameras for my front and back yard, pretty good video quality but sometimes it's recognizes wrong person. I hope Google to improve Face detection feature.

These cameras are like no other ive used before. The clarity is amazing and i love the fact that i can hear and speak out of all of them! Night vision on them is clear and just as good at day light. The battery lasts forever! Overall super pleased with this purchase and would highly recommend. Installation was a breeze.

I have this camera set up looking down my alley. I love that it is wireless and connects easily to my wifi. My only dislike is the fact it only takes clips of activity instead of 24/7 footage like my other Nest cameras. If I want 24/7 footage I would have to plug it into a power source outlet instead of the solar power panel I have connected to it. And the fact that I have to use the Google app to view footage instead of the Nest app. But I wouldn’t want any other camera.
