Customer Ratings & Reviews

Good product overall. Easy install and use. Good price point. Respectable battery life and great motion detection. Included theft prevention wire seems flimsy, recommend purchasing after-market wire if you're concerned about theft of the device. Would recommend to anyone looking to start their home security array.

Very good picture & easy set up easy to monitor and use

Great product. Very easy to install and setup! Clear quality. Everything is as expected

I switched from an older Arlo camera to this new Next Cam Battery and it really wasn't an upgrade. The nest cam itself is pretty huge, far bigger the my arlo, so you would think the battery life would be better. But it isn't. So far it is dropping about 1% a day, which while that sounds ok, the Arlo is so much better. Then there are the notifications or lack of notifications I should say. With the Arlo I never missed anything it isn't field of view, the nest seems far, far less sensative and no amount of changing the settings has improved this. The real kicker seeing how this is a google product is that is doesnt' stream to other google products. The Arlo would show on my google TV when I asked google to show it, but this Google Nest camera can't do that. Overall this was not an upgrade from a 4-year-old Arlo camera. Arlo had better notifications, better battery and better integration with other google products.

Excellent picture quality and easy set up to Google/Nest sites. Happy to see the power cord can stay connected all the time as I had the power nearby and did not want to recharge the unit. Very impressive night vision, picture clarity is exceptional

The picture quality is good. However, the battery life is not that great.

I ended up getting the front porch ones wired and that was an extra cost to pay an electrician bc I live in an older house. Nice looking, But the battery life is not good.I think I’m going to sell and get a different camera system. I don’t like the fact that they are battery operated and The solar panels don’t really keep them charged in high traffic areas.

We have 3 wired an 1 battery an we love our nest cameras. Plan to get more

Solid camera with great picture quality. Integrates very well with Google Home. The only thing that keeps me from giving it 5 stars is the charging can be a pain sometimes. The charging pins have to be cleaned from time to time before charging or it won't begin to charge.

So far I'm happy .... replaced another brand cameras with this because I initially wanted to go with something wired. After looking at many, decided to try the Nest Battery Camera. Haven't had it long enough to comment on battery life. It is easy (and fast) to charge, and has great video quality. Especially easy to monitor from the Google Home app which I was already using for my Nest Thermostat.

Excellent product and very easy to install. I purchased 3 cameras 4 years ago and decided to purchase 2 more. There are lots of options in the market place but Nest Cam is the best in my opinion. Would recommend to anyone.

Excellent option, it's worth it, If you have more than one power supply

Amazing versatility being on battery, with the option to plug them in if needed...and the battery life is great when not plugged in.

Really easy to use and good quality. Battery lasts long.

Overall a well integrated Google product, seemless connectivity with Google home, which works on Apple and Android. After 11 months of usage, no issues with connectivity, was able access the camera remotely, even from otherside of planet , thanks to powerof Internet. Got two cameras, one is flickering in the night, looks like IR (infra red) module could be broken. Functinality in Day is good. Is battery powered, however needs charging, but also can take external power. So if you are planning for leaving long term 2 weeks or more, recommend buying external cable, costs extra. Also has magnetic bases, gives flexibility with installing on doors without additional tools. Pricing is on the higher side. I am hoping Google will replace my faulty camera whichisstillinwarranty, that is one of the reasons I bought this camera, my experience with Google with another claim was good. If you have a slightly higher budget and want Google backed product, i would go with this. Also for camera recordings, default free event history you only see last 3 hours of information, the monthly plan costs extra.

Wish I could return but took too much time to get it setup after purchasing. Buyer beware - not compatable with the Nest App. I shoulda done my research before just assuming that this would connect with my other Nest cameras but I didnt. Google Home app is terrible for video monitoring! Not only can I not see this camera where my other camera feeds are, it only shows event activity when reviewing video, doesnt alert you to a low battery, doesn't wake up fast enough to record an event which knocked the camera down even though an animal walked in front of it several hours later, and doesnt allow zoning. What a waste of money.

Great picture quality and ease of use. Was simple to add onto our existing system.

As a long time user of this line of products, I was both impressed and disappointed with my purchase. I think they’ve made some significant improvements in the hardware, including the battery, ease of set up and overall durability. Unfortunately, Google’s newer generation of products is incompatible with the old nest app and requires the use of their newer home app instead. And migrating the old cameras to the new app, they lose some functionality. So you’re either left with inferior software, or using two apps if you want to maximize the utility of a system incorporating both older and newer generations of these cameras. If you are only purchasing the latest hardware, you probably won’t regret it, but for people that have the older cameras and want to incorporate one of these, be aware.

I got this for my pre-wired cameras. The battery life is better than I was expecting but night vision and image quality is far beyond my previous different very common brand cameras!!

Good product overall easy to use and worked, Has issues when real cold
