Posted .Hi JMatty, it’s great to have your feedback on Nest Cam (battery) and we’re glad that the battery life and the image quality are ideal for you. We understand 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. We’re working on bringing full functionality to the Home app as we want to create an integrated experience with other Nest and smart home devices.
If you need help with using the camera effectively in the Home app, please feel free to let us know here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
Security reliable
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great buy and wireless as well . Easy to install. Peace of mind
I would recommend this to a friendHad to return, too many cons for 'security' use
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had to return these units. I wish Googe made the following limitations extremely clear before I wasted my time - 2 pack camera only comes with 1 cable - 10 minute person notification for alerts. Will not be alerted if someone breaks into your home less than 10 mins after you leave - on battery mode, PIR sensor used to waku up camera seems to have a distance of 10ft (maximum sensitity). Too short as a thief will not be detected until they are out of frame if they walk quickly pluses: unit feels very high quality and magnet is very very strong

Posted .Hi there, thanks for taking the time to share your review on the Nest Cam (Battery). We’re sorry for the inconvenience these issues may have caused you, and we understand your decision to return it.
Nest camera notifications are a little different. Because we don’t want to bombard you with alerts, you might get fewer than you expect if your camera is pointed at a busy spot. You can choose to receive notifications for everything your camera detects, or choose notifications for only certain types of activity. Here’s more information about notification settings you can change for your camera: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9210305
Also, it only takes around 4-5 hours to fully charge the Nest Cam (battery). If there’s a need for more than one charging cable, or if you want the camera to be wired with continuous power, you can go with the optional Nest Cam (battery) Weatherproof Cable (in 5 m or 10 m) to keep your Nest Cam connected.
Your feedback is important as we always aim to improve our products and services. If you’d like to try the new Nest Cam again in the future, we’d be happy to help improve your experience by visiting us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good cameras that can be placed on stucco.

Posted .Hi Kwan, thanks for your insights. It's great to hear that you liked the design and easy recharging feature of Nest Cam (Battery). However, we're sorry to hear that you found the cloud recording to be slow and that it doesn't record certain events.
We recommend checking your network for possible congestion. Disconnecting some of your connected devices can help free up some bandwidth space and enable you to test if you will get better cloud recording speeds. Once you verify congestion, contacting your Internet service provider to check your connection and upgrade your bandwidth is highly recommended.
Video recording is triggered by motion detection on Nest Cam (Battery), and this can be affected by changes in the light level, and shadows moving across the frame like when a cloud moves in front of the sun. This also includes other movements within the camera's field of view like trees or bushes swaying. If you're not getting any alerts or notifications, we recommend trying out the steps below:
1. Change the Activity Zones on your camera. You can delete your existing Activity Zone and create a new one in any area within your camera's field of view. Just make sure that none of the zones you create overlap.
2. Change the angle of your camera and account for the lighting in the surrounding area.
3. Restart your Camera.
If you still encounter some difficulty with the video recording even after following the steps we provided, please consider contacting our support team so we can assist you with your support needs here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
Alaskan Home
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These three cameras work very well providing surveillance for the outside of our Alaskan home. I installed one in the shed. The other two are covering the entry doors of our home. The battery powered cameras allow for flexibility as to where they can be installed. The battery life is very reliable.

I would recommend this to a friendLove these security cameras!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We stuck one on our metal front door and one on our metal carport. So that meant no installation necessary. We love being able to keep an eye on our doors for deliveries and the odd visiting dogs and cats (which you can turn off notifications for if you want, but still see in the history). Found out the neighbors dog came to our house at 2:00 in the morning for a drink while his mom was waiting for him to come back inside - oops. Charge is fast and easy!
