High image quality and very easy to set up with google home app!!!!

Best outdoor camer for the price great quality video and images

Love this product works great. Got it installed yesterday by Best Buy and didn’t take long at all to install. I have a Google Nest Camera With the floodlight that I’ve had for over a year now, so I purchased a second camera. Google Home app helps me monitor the two cameras plus I’ve got installed a Yale lock system which is also controlled with Google Home and nest thermostat and I can also control with my Google Home app. I have my smart home set up going on . the two cameras in the lock I purchased from Best Buy. And because I’m a total tech member, I had Best Buy come and install all three products.

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.

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.

Aesthetically: much bigger than wired counterparts & color options missing Function: works well and has auto switching low and normal light, but no in-depth options like my other hub camera system, with regards to sensitivity, light indicator options, or with cheap generic cams from over 5 years ago that offer all those options with similar quality and selectable windows for motion and tons of other options so long as you use software that is the color of the sky and a part of your eye. Dirty: You will not be able to record to external drives, and it is an impossible task right now to connect to Nest Hub for video calls. Recording is limited without subscription to Nest Aware. I would not buy again If you're remotely tech savvy, get an old PC and buy security cam software and 3rd party cams, which are better and not limited by design.

I have several Google-Nest cameras, both indoor and outdoor. They are all very easy to install and link to your internet. Google has changed a number of things on this new generation camera. Some good and some bad. First, all their outdoor cameras are now battery powered; you can add a power cable (extra cost) that the older version came with. These cameras are no longer part of the Nest ecosystem so you must download the Google Home app to view the camera. I prefer the Nest app but it seems Google has abandon it in favor of their own. This camera will deliver very clear pictures both in daylight and at night. Motion detection is excellent.

Everything you need for the best of all the most important things to know when you're looking for an amazing and the great service that has a great experience with the quality of your products

So it works, but the fact that you have to take it down and charge it and then put it back up requires a ladder and time and then repositioning. Granted we could have mounted it a little lower, but we are interested in the hardwired version for the future.

Excellent picture quality. It’s worth buying. Easy installation

Good quality however the battery lasts me a little over 2 months with the best quality and medium sensitivity. Hoped it would last a bit longer. I turned the quality to the lower setting but it didn’t help much. You have to use the google home app to view video but it can sometimes take long to load or view events. The Nest app was much better in this. Shame It doesn’t work there.

This is great security product and easy to assemble.

I would have given this item 5 stars but the two pack only came with a single charging cord. This was not made clear in the product marketing so a little misleading. Bad on Google. Cameras are solid.

Overall great security camera! I would definitely recommend getting the long power cable so you can hardwire it in though. Otherwise it goes into sleep mode to preserve battery and then is completely reliant on the motion sensor which is not always sensitive enough to pick up motion.

Product works very good with hot spot device and the magnet is stronger than I expected. Overall it was a good buy and the price was fair.

Camera works great. Crystal clear image. Easy to mount on the wall in my detached garage. Able to keep watch on my "toys" when out of town. Great investment. John Jacobson

Easy to set up. Easy to move. Charging can be a pain. I installed electrical receptacles nearby for high traffic areas.

Good camera. Not so good night quality 7/10 here. Change lasts a while depending how often the camera sees something. The more it sees something the more battery it uses. Try to keep out of direct sun and rain too. Really easy to use on the smart phone

These work so well, and have clear video! I got one to watch for wildlife, one for my garage and one for my driveway. My only complaint is when you turn on notifications, you get on average, 3 per camera, per event. I need to figure out the event notifications… otherwise they work great! I paired with the Wasserstein solar panels and I haven’t had to charge at all!

I set up one camera with wire and the other via battery. Battery life is OK, but I would recommend wiring if possible. I was a little bummed that they dont work with the legacy Nest app or online portal, but the legacy cameras do show up in Google Hime. Takes a little time to get used to it.
