Great camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely perfect. Just wish they had in black as well. Within 2 weeks of putting up it captured a hit and run on my mother's parked vehicle.
I would recommend this to a friend Nest users: might as well buy Ring
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Let me start and say I am a huge user of Google and Nest products. Some would even say fan boy. I've owned nearly every Nexus/Pixel, have several thousands of $ in Nest IQ cameras (indoor and outdoor) around my property, Nest Hub Maxes, multiple thermostats, Chromecasts etc. To say I'm all in on Google is an understatement to the point of cringe by my family of apple users. I have a large property and needed one area last covered by a cam which was inaccessible due to unavailability of a power source. I had been waiting patiently for Google Nest to catch up to competitors and offer a battery wireless cam. With that being said I don't I could be more disappointed in the new wireless camera. I excitingly unboxed and attempted to add it in the Nest app where I was forced to use the convoluted Home app. I knew there would be an issue when I realized viewing the new wireless camera was not available in Nest App. I am getting notifications from every other nest device in nest as I should and getting notifications for this single camera in the Home App. Extremely annoying as NEST is written all over the box. This might as well be a Ring camera if I wanted to get two separate notifications in two separate apps. I reached out to Google and in fact the new devices (wireless and floodlight cams) are not available in Nest. You will have to review recordings separately in each app. Seriously Google? Another annoying aspect is if you try to view this camera on the web version of home.nest.com if will not be available. If you looking for a single camera or not this deep into the Nest game it might be ok for you. I do however feel the night image quality hasn't improved and may have actually decreased between this and my non IQ wired outdoor nest cam. I am now worried how long the thousands I've invested in my property surveillance will be supported as Google is notorious for dropping support after a few years. You severely dropped the ball with this one, Google. Will be returned.

Posted .Hi GoogleSuperUser, thanks for the time sharing a feedback with us and for investing on Google products. We're sorry to hear about the issues with the Nest Cam (Battery). We understand how disappointing it can be when your device is not working as you expect it, and having to use two separate apps for your Nest cameras.
New Nest cameras and doorbells are exclusive to the Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience. Our long term plan is to use the Google Home app as the one place you can control all of your favorite Nest and other smart home devices, as well as Google Assistant. In the near future, we’ll allow users to set up previous Nest devices and have full control in the Home app. Users with older cameras can view their camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new Nest Doorbell and Nest Cams. Our team is working on bringing full functionality to the Google Home app so all of your cameras can be set up and controlled in one place. As for the web version, we’re aware that longtime Nest users enjoy having the option to view their Nest camera feeds from the web, and we are working on adding this experience.
We appreciate you for being a Google advocate, and your input helps us better understand our customers’ needs and preferences better. We hope you give Nest Cam (battery) a chance as we're always working to improve our products and services. If you have any questions or concerns, we’d be more than happy to assist you here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Posted .Hi Francoe, thanks for sharing your feedback. We´re sorry to hear about your disappointment with the Google Home app and the option to have Nest Cam (Battery).
We understand that you have enjoyed using the Nest app with your Nest cameras. 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. The new Nest Cameras and doorbells are exclusive to the Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience with other Google Nest speakers and displays. Here are some benefits you can get by using the Google Home app with your Nest Cam (Battery):
- 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.
Continuous video recording (CVR) and 24/7 video history requires a lot of power and will certainly drain the battery for your Nest Cam (Battery) in a very short time. Hardwiring it will help fix this limitation.
We'd be happy to address any concerns you may have on Nest Cam (Battery). You´re always welcome to contact our support team here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Posted .Hello there, Paul. We’re sorry to hear you're having some trouble with your Nest Cam (battery) detecting and recording events as expected. What your camera picks up depends on your chosen settings. You can customize which events are detected and recorded (people, movement, packages, etc.). Using activity zones to focus on specific areas can also improve things. If you're still having issues, reach out to us anytime and we’d be happy to help you, here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
