Works
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy setup. Quality video. It does jot require a Neat Aware subscription to work, but you'll be limited to just the last 3 hours of viewing. Battery life is dependent on how much/often you life stream the video.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does not work with NEST app. I bought this one to replace my other NEST o got a few years ago. But these new "NEST" cameras don't work with the NEST app. They have to use Google Home. So now my other NEST cameras are on the NEST app but i have to use the new one on Google Home. So annoying!! Google Home app sucks.

Posted .Hi Jeff, thanks for reaching out. We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with the move to the Google Home app for Nest Cam.
The new generation of Nest cameras, including Nest Cam with Floodlight, is exclusive to the Google Home app. We understand that long time Nest users, like you, have enjoyed viewing your 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 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´re willing to try, you may set up your older Nest cameras and devices on the Google Home app as well. For more information, check out this help article:

Be honest
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Asked Geek tech guy 2 questions, will my wyfi work with these out door cameras in the selected site , he said yes. 2nd question, since these are rechargeable, how often would I need to charge them, every 3-4 months …. Wyfi could never connect and fully charge last 48hrs :-(. I returned them.

Posted .Hi asdf, thanks for letting us know about the connectivity issue with Nest Cam (Battery). We apologize for any difficulty you may have experienced.
Google Wifi Mesh works just like any other Wi-Fi mesh system, and the connectivity issue could be related to either of the following:
- Check for possible congestion in your Wi-Fi network. Removing some of your connected devices can help free up some bandwidth space. You may then check to see if you will still experience the same connectivity issue.
- You may also check for possible sources of interference such as the thick walls and appliances in your home.
If you still encounter the same connectivity issues, please consider contacting our support team for further troubleshooting and isolation here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
