I have been using Nest cameras to protect my home and family for almost a decade now. They even helped nab the man who stole my wifes car, and helped send him to prison for a very long time. Rain, snow, or shine, these products withstand everything mother nature can throw at them, and the picture quality stays strong.

Works like the old nest cams. Has a battery, but to get continuous feed, they MUST be plugged in. The cameras MUST use the google home app, and do not show up in the nest app. This is fine if you don’t have any legacy nest cams, but if you do, the legacy cams in the google home app DO NOT have the same functionality as they do in the nest app.
For example, if I want to scroll through the timeline just to see what happened that day, above and beyond the normal motion and sound alerts, the google home app does not allow me to do this for the legacy cameras. If google wants us to only use the google home app, then the functionality for the legacy devices needs to also be included.

This camera is a breeze to set up in the Google home app and has a lot of great features. It works exactly as expected and the sleek design looks good anywhere it’s placed. For the price, it would be nice if the resolution was higher, but other than that this is a great camera!

Really like the nest camera, provides a clear picture and great inteargration withe the google home app. I used it wired in so I cant comment on the battery life.

I’m not sure why there are so many negative reviews… this made me skeptical but I was excited for these so decided to purchase anyway. Had a very easy install, all you do is screw in the mounting bracket where you want and then the cam just connects on. It works perfect for people that don’t want to have to run a wire through their wall like myself. While I wish the camera would connect to my nest app, it does connect to your google home app and once you start using the app you get much more familiar with it. For the camera itself, the camera quality is great, connectivity is great, it uses motion detection and only records when motion is detected. You don’t have to scroll through hours of footage to find what your looking for, it only records the parts your looking for, another huge positive in my opinion. In the settings you have so many different customization options like setting zones, sensitivity, and adding familiar faces, all very cool tech. I would recommend this camera and going to add more myself

Great product. Good quality. Battery storage is decent but can be better. Drains a bit fast. Recommend buying the extended charging cable to keep the battery juiced up.

Cameras work great, nice video coverage, audio recording is a great feature.
The only problem I have with the Nest Cam Battery 2 Pack is having to recharge them, I read the reviews and most said that the battery lasted 1 month or more, but that is not the case for the 4 cameras that I purchased.
If you install them in an area that has a lot of activity the battery wears within 4-5 days. I purchased 4 cameras and installed them outside of my home. The charge on one camera has lasted almost 2 weeks, the area it is installed at does not have a lot of activity, but the other 3 cameras require constant charging.
Hi Joegrandma, thanks for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear that you’re having issues with the battery life of your Nest Can (battery).
Battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. You can 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. 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)
If you're willing to try, we recommend checking the frequency of events (per day) that you get with your Nest Cam (Battery). If the short battery life isn't related to the frequency of events, then we may need to have a closer look at your Nest Cam (Battery) and understand what may be causing it.

I used to be a huge fan until Google purchased nest and ruined one of the best solutions for homeapplications. These camera do a nice job but the battery life is terrible. The other issue with Googles approach of poor cloud services cause serious lag from the time an incedent / activity occurs to the time you get a live update. The notification are can lag by a minute at times.
Hi there, Getrusty. Sorry you’re having trouble with battery life and notification with the Nest Cam (Battery). Battery consumption will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and selected camera settings. On average here’s how long the battery will last on a single charge:
Busy - About 1 month battery life (about 25 - 30 recorded events per day) Typical - About 2.5 months battery life (about 13 - 16 recorded events per day) Quiet - About 6 months battery life (about 2 - 5 recorded events per day)
Here are a few tips to conserve battery: 1. Optimize its video quality. 2. Shorten the length of time for which events are recorded. 3. Take longer to begin recording between events.
