    Purchased today and will return tomorrow. Some genius though that it would be a good idea to make a security camera with a battery and not include charging cables. There is 3' cable for the two cameras. So, when the battery runs out you will need to pull your ladder back out and take the camera down and charge it then put it back OR you can spend $40 in a separate purchase for a longer charging cable. Will happily return tomorrow.

      Hello there, thanks for sharing the details of your feedback about the Nest Cam (Battery), and we’re sorry to learn it’s a disappointment for you. We understand that having two charging cables for your cameras can be convenient for you. If you want to consider connecting your cameras to a power outlet for continuous power but you only have one charging cable and adapter, we suggest reaching out to our support team anytime so we can figure out a way to help you best, here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Easy to install and set up. Super strong magnets, only one charger in 2 pack kinda sucks but another cable is less than $20 and the batteries last for months on a charge.

    Very nice camera but the price is a bit too much especially when you have to pay a subscription to unlock all the features. It does what it's supposed to very cleanly and put together though

      Hi Jenematalia, thanks for taking the time to share your insights. It's unfortunate to hear that you´re finding Nest Cam (Battery) and Nest Aware a bit pricey for the features it provides.

      For the best experience with your Nest Cam (Battery), we recommend getting the Nest Aware subscription, as it provides more value for your money with features that include 30 days of Video History, 24/7 continuous recording, access to clips and time lapses and even customizing your own activity zones. You won't ever have to worry about missing any events as these videos and clips are all saved onto the Cloud. All these features can be viewed and controlled at the tip of your fingertip using the Google Home App.

      We'd be happy to entertain any questions you may have about Nest Aware. Please feel free to contact our support team by using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Google screwing things up again

    Google screwing things up again. I wish I had known that these "NEST" cameras don't work with 'Nest'. Seriously. You cannot view these in the Nest app or on the Nest website. The only way you can view or manage them is in the poorly designed Google Home app. There is no way to view them online; only on the app on your phone.

      Hi Lionheart4G, thanks for informing us about your feedback on the Google Home app. We´re sorry for any frustration you may have experienced with it.

      Our long term plan is to use the Google Home app as the one place you can control all your favorite Nest and other smart home devices, and the Google Assistant. In the near future, we’ll allow users to set up previous Nest devices and have full control in the Home app. Also, here are some benefits you can get by using the Google Home app:
      - 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.

      We’ve taken a note of your feedback and we’ll make sure this gets passed along to the right team since we’re always looking for opportunities to improve our products and services. If you need assistance, feel free to contact our support team here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
