Not Even Close to Real Time
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .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.

As expected, but not amazed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Ok but hardwiring would reduce trouble
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very nice clear picture. Battery life could be improved. Otherwise hardwiring would be less a hassel.

Posted .Hi there, thanks for your feedback. We´re sorry to hear about the poor battery life and hardwiring option for Nest Cam (Battery).
Nest camera battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. Users can extend the battery life of their camera 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)
If the battery life of your Nest Cam (Battery) doesn´t meet the recommended battery life above, then it´s important to check the frequency of events (per day) that you get on 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. You may contact our support team for further assistance by visiting us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Good cameras, but pricey.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Good cameras, software is subject to improving
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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).

Can’t really use the Nest App for the newer Cams
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m a little bit disappointed that I can no longer use my nest app to view the video feed on newer nest cams and forced to use google home app. I have a few older gen Nest cameras/doorbell camera so I have to use both google home app and nest app to view the video feeds. It’s very annoying to switch between apps instead of having it in one app and I don’t really like using the google home app to view the cameras.

Posted .Hi nate17, we really appreciate you for sharing your feedback with us about the Nest Cam (battery). We can imagine how having to use two different apps can be an inconvenience for you, and we’re aware that longtime Nest users enjoy having the option to view the Nest camera feeds from the Nest app. However, our priority is to create an integrated experience with other Nest and smart home devices. While the new Nest cameras and doorbells are exclusive to the Google Home app, users with previous versions of Nest cameras, like you, can view your camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new Nest Doorbell and Nest Cams.
We request for your patience as we’re working on a seamless solution to create a better user experience. 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 for cameras set up in the Google Home app. And if you need help with any concerns about the performance and functionality of the camera, you're always welcome to let us know here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Well Designed
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Safe as a Nest
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With google background, I figured it would be a great product. We haven't had one issue, get a kick out of when someone is inside talking to the person outside. Being able to jump on the app and see and hear wverything around is amazing. I feel so safe and confident, I'm buying more

Video quality is good
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think the quality of the video seems good. The app is ok. The only issue is that in the Google Home app you can not set alarm times. The Nest app did, but the new cameras do not work on the Nest app. I would like it to alert me during specific times of day/night when I know I am gone regularly instead of alerts always on or always off.

Posted .Hi Mando, thanks for posting your feedback about Nest Cam (Battery), and we’re sorry to hear that your experience with its battery life is less than ideal.

You can extend the battery life of your camera by adjusting video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas. This link might be helpful: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/10901611

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)
If you still have to charge the battery more often than you’d like, consider connecting your camera to a power outlet with the included or optional power adapter. Connecting to continuous power will keep the battery charged. Please note that the power adapter included with the Nest Cam (battery) is not weatherproof and not intended for outdoor use and you can use a compatible weatherproof cable (sold separately).
