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
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.

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.

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.

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.

Added to my other cameras this was a great deal and once you add the plug in wires it bumps up your security to help protect your house! Easy to install

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.

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.

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.
Hi there Mbrule328, thanks for sharing your experience with us on Nest Cam (Battery). We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with the Google Home app.
The new Nest Cameras and doorbells are exclusive to the Google Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience with other Google Nest speakers and displays. We wanted to make the Google Home app as the one place you can control all your favorite Nest and other smart home devices with the Google Assistant. If you already have some Nest cameras installed in your home, you may transfer them to the Google Home app. Here´s a guide that you can follow: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9893532

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.

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.
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

Great product. Outstanding picture quality. Easy setup.

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.
Hi there, PremS. We recognize that migrating from the Nest app to the Google Home app involves a transition, and we are committed to making this learning process as easy as possible. The Google Home app provides a central location to manage and connect with a broad ecosystem of devices, including speakers, cameras, thermostats, lights, and many other products.
