I would recommend this to a friend Nice camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works well and the battery backup keeps it operating during a power outage. My only complaint is I still think the old Nest app provides more features than the Home app. And this camera does not work with Nest.

Total Failure
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Total failure! I have been a nest customer since day one. I will tell why this product is a failure. 1. It will not integrate with Next app. Meaning if you have an old Nest IQ cam and you normally use the Nest app for just about anything from camera to thermostat then this camera is not for you. It will not let you add this to the nest app. You will have to use the google home app and view the camera from there. What a waste. 2. Only 1 wire for 2 camera kit. Stupid!!!! 3. Charging wire faces frontward and not backward. Another Failure 4. Keeps on staying idle mode . 5. Won't integrate to the nest aware option - another failure 6. Erratic wifi Connection even if my router is just 10 ft away. In a nutshell, just wait for the next camera or just look on ebay for the old Nestcam IQ ones both indoors and outdoors.

Posted .Hi Ryan, thanks for the feedback and for being a long time Nest user. It’s unfortunate to learn about the issues you have with your Nest Cam (Battery).
The new Nest cameras and doorbells are exclusive to the Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience. Our long term plan is to use the Google Home app as the one place you can control all of your favorite Nest and other smart home devices, as well as Google Assistant. In the near future, we’ll allow users to set up previous Nest devices and have full control in the Home app. Users with older cameras can view their camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new Nest Doorbell and Nest Cams. Our team is working on bringing full functionality to the Google Home app so all of your cameras can be set up and controlled in one place.
The new Nest cameras support Nest aware subscription and you’ll get 30 days of event video history. With Nest Aware Plus, you’ll get 60 days and 10 days of 24/7 video history if you choose to connect your Nest Cam (battery) to a power cable (sold separately). You may see this link to know what you’ll get with a Nest Aware: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9233159
Also, Nest camera issues can be related to several factors. If you're experiencing a spotty connection or weak signal, we recommend checking your Wi-Fi network to see if your bandwidth is congested. This may happen if you have too many devices connected on the same bandwidth or if your network package is not enough to handle the data traffic on the network. Removing other connected devices to your Wi-Fi may relieve network congestion.
We’d be able to identify the underlying issues better if we can get more details, we suggest getting in touch with our specialists here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
Best cloud based and wire free solution
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have three of these installed at my house, and three installed at my parents' house. They work flawlessly for my needs, and the battery life is incredible. The feed quality is high and the AI works extremely well at detecting people. Mounting is a breeze, and the Google Home app has gotten much better.

I would recommend this to a friend Great cameras
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These cameras work great. I have a total of 7 of them at my house. Battery life is decent. I added solar chargers to mine and havant had to charge them yet (approximately 6 months ago). The only downfall to them is the price, but they are worth it.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product but a solar panel for these cameras are hard to get at this time. Battery lasts about 20-30 days, based on camera on/recording times. Solar panels were not available to purchase from BB or anywhere. I was able to order from factory, but they expect the solar panels to be released at end of April.
