Not bad IQ was better
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have installed tons of Nest/Google products for clients and myself as well but this new line up is pretty disappointing the is no option for an mounted on post product, the battery life is not great, no 4k recording, and the way it deals with network upgrades is really obnoxious half the time you have to remove the camerafrom the app and factory reset the device just to get it on the new Wi-Fi. Now that being said the price is ok, the fact that it actually does run on a rechargeable battery for certain circumstances is nice, and does not require the nest app is a plus.

Nice Camera but Google not so nice
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice camera, however, Google makes you use their APP for it instead of the Nest APP. So now I have most of my cameras in the Nest APP and this one in the Google APP. Poor management on Googles part....

Posted .Hi ChrisM, thanks for letting us know about the issue you're having with Nest Cam (Battery) and the Google Home app. We're sorry for any inconvenience this experience may be causing you.
We wanted to make the Google Home app as 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 Nest cameras to the Google Home app. Check out this help article: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9893532

Great Cameras!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Reliable, great quality video and audio, and provides great piece of mind. The only drawback is there's no native HomeKit support but we're looking into the Starling device to bridge that gap.

Posted .Hi Voltaic, it's great to hear that you liked the great video and audio quality of Nest Cam (Battery). We´re sorry to hear about your disappointment with the limitations for supporting Apple's HomeKit.
We also appreciate that you´re looking for options to help bridge both platforms. However, sharing your account email and password with unauthorized websites or apps can compromise the security of your home and personal information and no Hey Google partner will ever need your Google password. We recommend checking further on any potential risks and issues that you may encounter in the future.
