Posted .Hi there, MaryG! Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We apologize for the inconvenience you're experiencing despite finding the Nest Cam (Battery) great. It's unfortunate that you find yourself having to recharge it frequently and that you're not getting any history recordings.
Battery life of Nest Cam (Battery) will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. You can extend the battery life of your camera by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas. Here are some typical scenarios for your Nest Cam (Battery):
Busy: About 1.5 months battery life (about 20 - 25 recorded events per day)
Typical: About 3 months battery life (about 9 - 12 recorded events per day)
Quiet: About 7 months battery life (about 2 - 4 recorded events per day)
Regarding the lack of history recordings, please make sure that you have an active Nest Aware subscription. This subscription enables the storage of historical footage in the cloud. We recommend learning more about the full benefits of the Nest Aware subscription with your device here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9233159
It's also important to check the frequency of events (per day) that you get with your Nest Cam (Battery). If the short battery life isn't directly related to the frequency of events and you already have a subscription but still aren't seeing any history recordings, we recommend contacting our support team directly for further assistance.: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

My little seeing eye
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have never owned an outdoor camera but felt I needed the security. My son suggested spending the money necessary for a good quality easy to use camera. I did purchase the cord so no need for battery charging. The magnet is extremely strong. The pixel quality is great. It even picked up a cat during the night.

I would recommend this to a friend Perfect addition
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Outstanding addition to my nest products. The wireless capability was perfect as i was installing these at a property i am flipping. It gave me the flexibility to post them without having to worry about the cord being cut. Only have had to recharge them once a week so far and that has been a major help.

Posted .Hi Bigshell, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry if you're having issues with the battery life with your Nest Cam (Battery).
Battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. You can extend the battery life of your camera by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas. Here are some typical scenarios:
- Busy - About 1.5 months battery life (about 20 - 25 recorded events per day)
- Typical - About 3 months battery life (about 9 - 12 recorded events per day)
- Quiet - About 7 months battery life (about 2 - 4 recorded events per day)
If you're willing to try, we recommend checking the frequency of events (per day) that you get with your Nest Cam (Battery). If the short battery life isn't related to the frequency of events, then we may need to have a closer look at your Nest Cam (Battery) and understand what may be causing it.

Don't Buy, Doesn't Work With Nest App
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't know what Google is thinking trying to force people to use their trash Goole Home app. The Nest app has been the perfect app for my Nest devices for years. I have returned both this camera pack as well as the new doorbell due to lack on integration with the Nest app and problems with battery life on these new products. Decided to go with eufy instead as they have everything I need, and excellent battery life on all products. I would NOT recommend these new Google products to anyonep.
