Overall believe this is a Fail on Google/Nest
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice camera and the convenience to put basically anywhere within wifi service. Otherwise a trash product from Nest. The biggest problem I have is they do not work with the Nest app, where all my other cameras are. Only on Google Home. Problem two which isnt as big a deal just annoying I knew they were battery yes, however I expected the charging cable to be a simple usb perhaps. No, not the case it is a specialty magnetic cable that to get one with any sort of length you have to purchase it separately.

Posted .Hi MCFD78, thanks for sharing your feedback with us about the Nest Cam (battery), and we’re sorry to learn it’s a disappointment for you.
We’re aware 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. Our teams are working on enabling the ability to set up and control older Nest cameras in the Home app so users will have one app to control all of their devices, and we’re working on bringing full functionality to the Google Home app as we want to create an integrated experience with other Nest and smart home devices. While the new Nest cameras and doorbells are exclusive to the Google Home app, users with previous versions of Nest cameras can view their camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new Nest Doorbell and Nest Cams.
We're always here to help you improve your experience. If you run into an issue with your Nest Cam (Battery) and using it effectively in the Google Home app, please feel free to find us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

No, I would not recommend this to a friend Enjoying the Nest Products
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love being able to have this on my Google home app. A few things I am not happy with. It seems like it doesn't capture people as soon as they get in range of my area. When viewing the history it seems to take forever to view or the viewing stops. They should change on the history that I pick and choose what history I want to delete.

Great hardware, lacking software.
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.From a hardware standpoint these are great, the magnetic mounts work well and the picture quality is wonderful. But like other google products, the software is irritating. Constant changes and updates, just integrated into google home for "simplicity", and pretty much worthless without paying for their Nest Secure subscription. Google has also recently started shutting down older Nest products, so feels like its only a matter of time for these?

Cord free because of the kids
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had to go wireless since my kids wanted to pull out everything plugged in the room. They can’t take this one down. Liked the wired one better since I didn’t have to charge it, but my kids decided that this is the one we’re using

Battery not efficient in cold weather
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good purchase. However, you’ll want to use with the power cable. Battery does not hold charge very long especially in cold weather.

Cam Cam
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Camera is great, only downfall on this is you have to recharge. If you have to buy this product, buy it with solar power attached to it, so no recharge needed. I will buy it later when I get tired of climbing the ladder.

Best outdoor cam
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Tried Simply Safe and other brand, but this is the best for me since didn't need to sign up and the fact that I already have Google account. Battery last decent, but easy to take down to recharge.

I would recommend this to a friendGreat camera for the google home power user
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this device knowing about the google home app integration and I absolutely love it. I wanted a camera that would work seamlessly with my google home network that I already have and this camera does that better than any other camera that I've tried on the market. I use this camera as a wired outdoor camera so I can't comment on battery, but I bought this camera for its AI detection and 24/7 recording feature with the nest aware subscription service ($12) and it does both very well. Nighttime detection and visibility are also pretty good for only a 1080p camera and no spotlight. Overall if you're looking for a camera that working seamlessly with google home packed with unique and helpful features and also using it in wired mode, I'd highly recommend this camera.
