    Easy to setup, love the fully wireless experience. With high active the battery life still holds up pretty well. The quality and durability is excellent. Charging could be a little faster.

    These things are nice. I leave them plugged in so I can record 24/7 and don’t have to worry about charging the battery. It feels well made and I have not had any issues with them. Set up with easy. Mounting was easy. No issues. No complaints.

      Hi SMTE, thanks for sharing your feedback with us about the Nest Cam (battery). We understand that having to connect the camera with a cable for continuous power can be convenient for you. If ever you want to consider running the camera off the battery again in the future, you can extend its battery life by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas. That way, you don’t have to charge the battery more often than you should.

      We have help always available for your support needs, just let us know anytime here if you need one: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

      Hi there, Mehrdad. We appreciate the review you shared about the recording feature of the Nes Cam (battery). Our goal is to give users more options. The Nest Cam (battery) comes with 3 hours of event video history, and you can stream live video for free in the Google Home app. With event video history, we wanted our products to help our customers understand what’s going on at home easily and highlight the important activity for you. We offer 24/7 video history on wired Nest Cams with a Nest Aware Plus subscription for people who want to see everything that happens at home. We continue to invest in the use of both technologies

      If there’s anything we can help you with, or for any concerns about the camera, feel free to let us know here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
