Posted .Hello there, DanteAns. Thank you for providing your feedback on the Nest Cam (Battery). We apologize for the inconvenience you've experienced with its battery drain issue. The battery life of the Nest Cam (Battery) can vary based on several factors, including activity levels, temperature, and camera settings. To maximize the battery life of your camera, we recommend adjusting certain settings. These include video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and utilizing activity zones to monitor specific areas. By making these adjustments, you can optimize the battery performance of your Nest Cam (Battery). Here are some typical battery life scenarios for the Nest Cam (Battery):
- Busy: Approximately 1.5 months of battery life (with around 20-25 recorded events per day)
- Typical: Approximately 3 months of battery life (with about 9-12 recorded events per day)
- Quiet: Approximately 7 months of battery life (with about 2-4 recorded events per day)
It's essential to check the frequency of events you're receiving per day with your Nest Cam (Battery). If the short battery life is not directly related to the frequency of events, we may need to take a closer look at your device and understand what could be causing the issue. For further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact our support team. You can reach them by visiting this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The cameras went up easy and working on my phone just fine. There were no instructions on how long to charge them. I had to go on line and look it up. Also the instructions in the package were printed in grey in 6/7 point type. VERY DIFFICULT TO READ. I had to take pictures and blow them up on my phone. Those marketing people think they are so clever, but they are not realistic.

Posted .Hi there, MakaylieD. Thanks for your insights on Nest Cam (Battery). We appreciate that you're liking the image quality of the camera. We do apologize if the battery life didn't meet your expectations.
Your Nest camera's battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. You can extend the battery life 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)
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 device and understand what may be causing it.

I would recommend this to a friendSystem actually works
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We switched from the Arlo system which was terribly buggy and took forever to load so this was an upgrade in that sense. They also look fantastic! Only issue is that the quality of the video could be better, things that are not up close are rather blurry - no way I could read a license plate with a recording but I could probably describe the car color/make/model.

Posted .Hey there, lmondot. We’re glad that you like the Nest Cam (battery), and we appreciate you sharing your concern about its video quality. We suggest adjusting your cameras’ video quality that can improve the resolution. The higher the video quality setting you choose, the sharper and more detailed your footage can be, but it also uses more of your internet bandwidth. This setting lets you choose the maximum video quality for your cameras. And whichever level you pick, your camera will automatically adjust its resolution and compression according to how much bandwidth is available.

Camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great, does what it’s supposed to do, easy set up
I would recommend this to a friendGreat outdoor camera
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great camera for day and night views. I did get the cord to have it plugged in 24/7 due to higher traffic area. I also have one in my garage and I haven’t had to charge the camera battery yet.
I would recommend this to a friendIf it's on sale, I suppose. But disappointed.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's ok. I expected better. It doesn't seem to allow me to hook it up to the old nest app where my doorbell is connected. The nest app lets me keep record all the time. The google app only records when it is triggered and simply is not as useful as the doorbell camera, in comparison. Also, if you don't plan on having it always plugged in, it also kinda sucks.

Posted .Hi UserX, thanks for sharing the details of your feedback on Nest Cam (battery), and we’re sorry to hear your expectations are not met.
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, your favorite Nest and other smart home devices, and Google Assistant. In the near future, we’ll allow users to set up previous Nest devices and have full control, as our team is working on bringing full functionality to the Google Home app.
We’re not moving away from 24/7 video history. Our goal is to give users more choice. With event video history, we wanted our products to help you understand what’s going on at home easily and highlight the important activity for you. If you want to see everything that happens at home, we offer 24/7 video history on wired Nest Cams with a Nest Aware Plus subscription. We continue to invest in the use of both technologies.
