Building a Nest
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worked great overall. Very easy install. Good picture quality during the day and overall battery life for our home works out to months not weeks. The camera performs well at night, though some of the arlo cameras have higher quality (color, resolution) night vision.

Good image
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good quality images. I was told they do not work with best aware though, haven't tried yet but I would probably return them if that is the case. Pretty expensive though, I’m sure I could have found a much cheaper outdoor camera that would pair with my nest home system.

Love our Google cameras!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love our Google cameras much more than the previous Arlo cameras that we had. Cameras are clear and work well with our Google home app and interior display. Price of the cameras along with the solar panels is quite high but worth every penny.

Wish I knew it needed to be plugged in
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love nest cameras, but this cordless will require being plugged in for full recorded history, wasn’t aware of that, now will need a cord. Also, the old nest app is going away, so need to use both apps, google home and nest. Need to figure out how to combine into one, so far haven’t figured it out yet, have older cameras. Otherwise it works fine.

Great Value and Utility... if you trust Google
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Box comes with everything needed for basic setup. Charging cable is on the short side in comparison to wired model. These are basically the former overpriced Nest IQ cameras newly rebranded. They're a good deal now at 1/4th of what they used to cost but heavily dependent on Google services. These WILL NOT work with the legacy Nest App and must be setup via the Google Home App; local home network MUST be online able to access Google servers — you cannot log on to them directly locally. These are essentially fully dependent on remote proprietary Google software and associated services so will likely become expensive paperweights (like Stadia Controllers) if Google ever suddenly feels like killing the 'Nest' service.

Posted .Hi MrPen, thanks for sharing your insights with us on Nest Cam (Battery). We're sorry to hear that the Google Nest ecosystem, including the Google Home app fell short of meeting your expectations.
Our goal for the launching of the new generation of Nest cameras is to make the Google Home app the one place where you can control all your favorite Nest devices and other smart home devices with the Google Assistant. Here are some benefits you can get by using the Google Home app with your Nest Cam (Indoor, Wired):
- Automatic security protections such as Suspicious activity detection, 2-Step Verification and Security Checkup.
- Your Google Nest devices and services will work together. For example, if you have a Nest Cam and a Nest Hub, just say, ""Hey Google, show me the backyard camera” to cast your camera stream to your display without any additional setup.
- One account to sign into both the Nest and Google Home apps.
- Your homes and home members will be aligned across the Nest and Google Home apps.
If you´re willing to try, you may set up your older Nest cameras to the Google Home app. Here´s a guide that you can follow to set up your Nest cameras on the Google Home app: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9893532

HUGE Upgrade for me
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a HUGE upgrade from the last Camera system I installed at my house. Very easy to set up, Very easy to connect to my smart home, easy to install. I was worried about having a magnet only holding the camera in place but it makes it SOOOOO easy to adjust. I can view camera on nest hub or in google app on phone. It has a very clear picture, alerts me to anything near my home. I am hoping to get more soon

Google Nest Outdoor Wireless battery cameras
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall the cameras are good. Easy to setup but the battery use can be a tough one. Had to turn off sound and mic items. Once I did that it is more reasonable. Takes 4-5 hours to charge this units but wireless setup is a breeze.

Posted .Hi rereillyii, thanks for giving us time to share this review with us about the Nest Cam (Battery). We’re sorry to hear that the battery use for wireless setup is a tough one for you.
Battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. You can also 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. This link might be helpful: 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)

Posted .Hi there Gamingmouse, thanks for reaching out to us. We apologize for the short battery life you are experiencing with your Nest Cam (Battery). It's important to check factors such as activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select for your Nest camera. You can extend the battery life by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas.

UTTER GARBAGE DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.UTTER GARBAGE! I have the entire house attached with google mini’s, the kitchen display, chrome, nest thermostats, and a nest doorbell. Needed to add a security camera into the mix, so I go to Best Buy and get this gem of a paperweight. Best Buy is awesome, they have NO fault in this, other than trusting Google like we do, to deliver a quality product. Their products are already overpriced IMO, but I like the Nest Aware and it’s a good looking product. Nest Aware holds your video for 60 days and there are a lot of neat AI things. I know by itself it only records THREE HOURS! Which is stupid because if someone breaks into your car at night…. 3 hours has gone and your overpriced camera is worthless. What the heck is the point of even having a camera then? So you got an event, but don’t know anything and google shares go up? I can’t stay up 24 hours a day waiting to see if something happens within that window!!!!! Am I just suppose tell the cops… LOOK THERE’S AN EVENT!!!! SEEE!!!! No big deal… have the Nest Aware, all’s good. Nest Aware holds 60 days worth of material. I know that it won’t record 24/7 because I’m not plugging it in, that’s kinda THE ENTIRE POINT behind the name “Nest Cam BATTERY!” (And that cable is sold separately and it’s cheap) They just want you to purchase the service. I get it…. Synced to Google Home, everything looks good. Climb the ladder, drill through the house, position it just right… Stand back in marvel at my work, and the quality of the video. The camera automatically syncs with Nest Aware. Get an event today, cool! I check no worries. I look back once I get home, and BOOM this event has expired. So I contact Google via chat and I’m told, not only can you not record more than 3 hours if it’s not plugged in (outdoor plug sold separately) it won’t connect to the Nest Aware account!!!!!! Why the heck did they create this piece of garbage???? 3 hours? For as much as it cost, I could hire someone to sit outside and sketch what’s happening. Thanks for disappointing us yet again google. I should have learned better honestly, MY FAULT. The Hello is SO slow that they deliver packages, get back in the truck and is probably back to their warehouse before it even notifies you. Again… Why???? And oh yeah… I conveniently trusted Google to make a good product, and placed it NO where close to where I can even wire the paper weight.

Posted .Hi Scott, we appreciate you for letting us know of your experience with the Nest Cam (Battery) and we’re sorry that it’s a disappointment for you.
Nest Cam battery is the first battery camera created at Google Nest which features full on device machine learning which can detect pets, vehicles, people, faces and packages all without any cloud processing, and unlike the previous versions of Nest cameras, all the new cameras come with free 3 hour event-based video history. Previously, event-based recording required cameras to stream video to the cloud continuously while active for event detection algorithms to process the video. With onboard machine learning detection and sensors, event-based recording will begin when the sensor detects activity, and you can receive camera alerts as long as you're signed into the app.
While the Nest Cam (battery) must be connected to a power source to have 24/7 video history, If your camera is battery powered, it should still have event video history which will be deleted on a rolling basis after a certain number of days depending on which Nest Aware subscription that you have. But if you’ve set your camera to record and save specific kinds of events in its video history, your camera will detect and process any important activity that it detects, and will only save footage of events that you’ve enabled to the cloud.
Also, you can choose to receive notifications for everything your camera detects, or choose notifications for only certain types of activity. If you’ve turned on critical alerts, you should receive some push notifications even when your phone is set to Do Not Disturb. You can create Activity Zones to cover areas in your camera’s view that you care about, and choose the type of motion you want to be notified of for each zone. You might have to move your camera, change your camera’s angle, or change something in the scene so that you don’t miss important activity. Here’s more information about notification settings you can change for your camera: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9210305
