    The video and sound quality is good. Product only came with one chord. Easy to set up. Saves footage for a few days with no fees.

    Integrated with older Nest/Google system very easily. Battery lasts several weeks (depending on the setting) before needing to charge. I have these in odd locations so hardwiring was not an option. I eventually added the solar charging panel and haven't had to take them down to charge since (even in sub-zero temps). Great clarity and wide field of view. Very reliable.

    Cameras have great video quality and easy to install/setup with your Google account. Access via phone anywhere anytime. You can extend the record hours with a subscription but you can do without it too. Charge last pretty long depending on weather conditions. Great purchase, might get one more!

    Not Even Close to Real Time

    Pluses- Great image quality in daylight as well as night. Easy to set up and install Cons- I have 6 of these cameras and when I click on Google home app. They show up but not even close to streaming all of them real time. My dog will go outside and if looking at outside cameras, might show him for a second but then freezes up or doesn’t show him at all for quite a while. I should point out I have a 1.1 GB’s per second service and all cameras are within 40 feet. Would probably go with Ring next time.

      Hi there, JCIII. Thanks for sharing your concerns about the Nest Cam (battery). We’re sorry to hear that your experience is below satisfaction. We’ve taken note of your feedback to work on improving our products and services. 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. You can change the settings like adjusting video quality, wake-up sensitivity, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas.

      For additional assistance, our dedicated team is always ready to help you here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    NEST APP vs Google Home

    Great camera but buyer beware. If you already have 1st generation (regular camera), 2nd generation (IQ), or the doorbell, this 3rd generation camera will not work with NEST app. You have to download and use Google Home app in order to use new cameras. I can see all 3 plus doorbell cameras on Google Home, but if I wanted to scroll through time on an older camera, I have to switch back to the NEST app. Don't get me wrong, quality of newer cameras are better than older models. Just be aware.

      Hi JabreakitJubawdit, we truly appreciate your time sharing your feedback with us about the Nest Cam (battery). 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. You’ll be able to view both your old and new Nest Cams together in the Home app, and we’re working on bringing the full functionality to the Home app so all your cameras can be controlled and set up in one place.

      Your feedback and experience are important to us. If there's anything we can be of help, please let us know anytime at: ttps://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Have had these cameras for two weeks and very pleased up until now. Easy to mount/install, simple to use, good functionality (in terms of picture quality, ability to zoom, battery-sparing operating modes as default, magnetic mount component, speaker functionality, etc.). Clearly not a serious home security device, but a good first step in establishing basic external surveillance

    Had the older generation nest cameras but these newer generations have better picture quality. I also love the battery options that allow up 2-3 months on a single charge if needed.

    Love this camera. Was so easy to install. It has great quality videos day and night. The charge lasts a long time snd it is placed whrte there is quite a bit of traffic. Highly recommend purchasing the subscription so you can look back at events whenever you want

    For a rechargeable camera the battery life is fantastic even in the winter you can expect around 4-5 weeks of life even with temperatures down in the tens. Picture quality is great and I like that I can set zones to only capture certain areas.

    I’m an existing Nest user with an Outdoor IQ camera and a Hello. The new camera works well with even better quality than the IQ, but honestly I expected slightly better video quality even when set in max than I get. Sometimes it seems a little pixelated. Google also has work to do on their app for the camera. It has some bugs with video playback and usability, but I’m hopeful that they’ll clean that up with time.

    Love these cameras, but they are very expensive for what they are. Note that if you live in a cold environment such as I do (Anchorage, AK) the cameras will become inoperative when the temperatures get below freezing. Also, you have to subscribe to the Nest Aware Plus service to get full history, etc., this is $10/month or $120 per year.

    Camera work as intended, they are very easy to install and seamlessly can be integrated to Google Home/Nest. The only downside (that make me rate them as 4) is the software. There is configuration for at home & out, however compared to other cameras/software in the market, there isn't configuration based on schedule (specifically while sleeping).
