Better than Arlo
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've owned multiple camera systems to include some of the original Arlo devices. Arlo takes waaaaay to long to load. By the time you get an alert and look in your app, the burglar is long gone with your TV! But in all seriousness, Google products just work and the work well and load quickly. Yes, the video quality should be 2K or better by now but with digital enhancements this camera works very well for its intended purpose.
I would recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Camera quality

Posted .Hey there, KLewis. We hear your concerns regarding battery life on the Nest Cam (Battery). Here are some solutions to make sure your device is running smoothly:
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.

short sighted
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.good cameras. only short fall is the range. I put on in the eves of my 2 story house it t far to get a clear pic of anything moving in no front yard

Posted .Hello there! Thank you for sharing your experience using the Nest Cam battery. We're thrilled to hear that you find the camera quality impressive. We understand your concerns regarding the range and the challenge in capturing clear images of movement in your front yard due to the camera's placement on the eaves of your two-story house. Achieving optimal coverage can sometimes be difficult, especially with wireless cameras. Placing the camera higher up might affect its ability to capture detailed movements closer to the ground, like in the front yard. If you have questions and other concerns, we recommend reaching out to our dedicated team of specialists on the Google Help Center here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

I would recommend this to a friend Great Camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Added this camera to my Google Home Nest Ringdoor bell. Great view and easy to put up. I did not use the lock that is additional if you need it since the top camera is magnetic and can be taken off easily. Ours is up very high so it can't be taken down without a very tall ladder. If not at a high point, be sure to add the locking device, it's not that expensive. Battery seems to last well, so far it's been a month and it's showing it has 6 months of battery left. We will be charging it as needed.

Posted .Hi there Jack, thanks for reaching out to our support page. We're glad that you found the quality and smooth streaming amazing for Nest Cam (Battery). We're sorry for any disappointment you may be having with the move to the Google Home app.
We understand that long time Nest users, like you, 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. 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.
If you´re willing to try, you may set up your older Nest cameras on the Google Home app as well. For more information, check out this help article:
