    Works really well, install was easy (I bought and installed on a separate gutter mount so I wouldn’t have to drill anything in my house), I like the nest software - it’s tied to my doorbell and and an inside camera too- the motion detection works well.

    great little cameras so far. get funky in cold weather. Vulnerable to Wifi manipulation, but you gotta be near by to do that. probably get a glimpse before such a sofisticated theif actually knocks your wifi offline.

      Hi Jackie, thanks for taking the time to write this review about the Nets Cam (battery). We’re glad that you find the camera great and easy to use, but are sorry to hear that the field of view and the camera integration with the Home app are below your preference.

      Nest Cam (battery) has a 130° diagonal field of view. To get the camera view you want, you have to adjust the camera’s position by hand. Use the Home app to check the camera’s view so you can adjust the position from the mounting plate if you need to. Also, the new Nest cameras and doorbell are exclusive to the Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience with your speakers and displays. A Nest Aware subscription applies to all of your cameras, speakers, and displays in the same home structure. And you can view both your old and new Nest Cams together in the Home app. We request for your patience as we’re working on a seamless solution to create a better user experience. Meanwhile, we suggest having the latest version of the Google Home app that may improve camera playback controls to make it easier to play, pause, and navigate between events from the camera history view for cameras set up in the Google Home app.

      We’re always here to help improve your experience. Let us know if you have other concerns about the performance and functionality of the Nest camera by contacting us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

      Hi BarryH, we truly appreciate your feedback and concerns about the Nest Cam (battery). There are some compute limitations on some versions of Chromecast that do not allow us to support this yet, but we’re aiming to add support as soon as possible as the team continuously evaluates additional features. While streaming your camera on the TV isn’t available yet, you can stream it using a compatible smart display, and here’s how: https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/7529598

      We request for your patience as we’re working on a seamless solution to create a better user experience. Meanwhile, if there’s anything we can be of help, we’re always at your service here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    I purchased one and loved it so I ended up purchasing a double set. We are considering purchasing another set. We didn't purchase the service to continously record but we do get notified for any movement and we can save the recording. It only keeps 3 hrs then deletes.
