Amazing camera

||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have five cameras including my door bell. If i lose the signal in my home, its a nightmare getting them back on line. I have to remove them from my phone app, take pics of the QR codes and try to hook them up again. This is a royal pain.

Posted .Hello there, thanks for letting us know about your Google Nest Cam Indoor/Outdoor going offline. We want to let you know, there are a couple of things to keep in mind: your cameras should be no more than 25 feet away from the WiFi router and be aware that some devices can interfere with your camera's Wi-Fi signal, such as microwaves, baby monitors, and mirrors. If you have any other concerns please contact us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp?sjid=6233883891793073660-NA

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used google for everything My smart home is google I have google cameras first generation. All i can say is BIG Disappointment I hope they come out with a better product. The camera on battery mode doesn't detect anything within 3 feet. Wake up time is terrible, idk why google decided to come out with this product. Reason why i gave them 2 starts instead of 1 is the looks of the camera.

Posted .Hi JStiff, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you’re having multiple issues with Nest Cam (battery).
For slow display, we could be looking at a possible connectivity issue that affects the overall performance of your Nest Cam. It can be caused by different factors like location and distance of Nest Cam, Wi-Fi router, outdated phone and Google Home app. This may also be caused by Wi-Fi network congestion and Wi-Fi interference with other devices and/or networks. Removing other devices from your Wi-Fi might help. You can also try setting up your device on either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz bands and see which band is more reliable.
Here’s how you can save and download video clips: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9207572
If the issue still persists, we may need to take a closer look in order for us to understand this issue. Feel free to contact our support team. We’d be more than happy to help here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Google's Massive Fail
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Going right back. What a travesty that Google has done to the Nest Cam/Dropcam legacy, which pioneered this segment. Needed to replace 2 of 6 Nest Cam Outdoors with Nest Aware. I looked on the Google site to make sure these new 2021 models would integrate. It stated yes. Now having opened the box, to find out that these will ONLY work with the Google Home app, not the Nest App with the other cameras. They've literally killed the Nest App with this update. QR code scan on the new model will only bring you to Google Home app, even when adding in the Nest App. (at least Sonos has the courtesy to advise of the divide with legacy products vs new products in their S1/S2 apps plus offered trade in value) Love Best Buy & will continue to shop but now questioning what is out their to replace all of our Nest Outdoor Cameras.

Posted .Hi there, thanks for sharing what you think about the Nest Cam (Battery). We appreciate your input as it helps us better understand our customer’s preferences and needs. While we’re continuing to support the Nest app, 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. Using the Google Home app provides a lot of benefits including access to Google's trusted security platform and access to other Google tools and with seamless integration with other Google devices. Users with older cameras can view their camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new Nest Doorbell and Nest Cams.
We understand your choice to replace your Nest Cams and if you decide to try it out again in the future, we’d be happy to work with you and help improve your experience: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Posted .Hi DadChefInIdaho, thanks for sharing your feedback to let us know what you think of the Nest Cam (battery). You might be interested in the Wasserstein Solar Panel For Google Nest Cam (battery). With sufficient direct sunlight, it trickle charges your Google Nest Cam (battery) and the camera runs off the battery charge. The Solar Panel’s unique 360-degree wall mount allows you to position it in any direction for maximum sunlight exposure. We recommend getting in touch with your retailer to inquire about product availability.
