Posted .Hello there, Tucett. Thanks for sharing your experience with Nest Cam (battery). We’re sorry to hear of your issues with the event detection and recording features. We suggest checking each of the camera settings so you can choose which events your cameras can detect and record (people, motion, package, etc.). From there, you (and each member of your home) can decide which of those events to get notifications for. If an event is turned off, you won’t get notifications for that kind of activity. Using activity zones to monitor specific areas can also help.
We can also check if there’s anything that causes your cameras to behave differently, and we welcome you to contact us anytime here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Great camera, plan to buy more
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this camera as a proof of concept for four more cameras. Pro's are the google cloud service, HD video and polished overall product, the kind you expect from google. The downside is the range a camera can see a face. I placed this camera on the corner of my house facing the driveway. I also placed it in the different locations for the other cameras. I was impressed with the range for 5gz wifi. I much prefer this option to the box and 8 POE camera systems.

Great product
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Newer Google Nest Cameras

Great wireless camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The original nest camera has better quality video however this new nest/google is wireless therefore much easier to install. I opted to buy and install with a solar charger to avoid the recharging, so far that has kept the camera at full charge.

Misses way too much action
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super disappointed in the performance of this camera. The video quality is great, when it actually captures video. I have this mounted above the garage door to watch our driveway, I would say that it picks up about 70% of the actual movement that goes by the camera. Many times we have come home and completely misses the car pulling in the garage. When it does capture an event, it misses the first half of the action almost every time. I have all the settings to max out the amount of video over battery. Just can't count on it capturing everything like our Nest doorbell. That doorbell performs like I hoped this would. Would NOT get this again if I had the choice.

Posted .Hi Justin, thanks for sharing your feedback with our support team. We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with the camera performance for Nest Cam (Battery).
Motion detection on Nest Cam (Battery) can be affected by changes in the light level, and shadows moving across the frame like when a cloud moves in front of the sun. This also includes other movements within the camera's field of view like trees or bushes swaying. If you're not getting any alerts or notifications, we recommend trying out the steps below:
1. Change the Activity Zones on your camera. You can delete your existing Activity Zone and create a new one in any area within your camera's field of view. Just make sure that none of the zones you create overlap.
2. Change the angle of your camera and account for the lighting in the surrounding area.
3. Restart your Camera.
We'd like to help you troubleshoot the motion detection issue further with your Nest Cam (Battery). If you´re willing to try, please contact our support team so we can provide further assistance using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Nest
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like these for the most part. Occasionally it doesn’t pick up continual movement so that is frustrating but the pictures are clear. Would like the ability to zoom in.

Posted .Hello there, TeresaM. We appreciate that you like the Nest Cam (battery). We hear your concerns about its recording feature along with having the ability to zoom in.
Event detection depends on the camera settings that you select. You can choose which events your camera or doorbell can detect and record (people, motion, package, etc.). From there, you (and each member of your home) can decide which of those events to get notifications for. If an event is turned off, you won’t get notifications for that kind of activity. You can also 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.
Also, you can zoom in and out of your camera’s video to temporarily take a closer look at part of the scene. Here’s how:
- Open the Home app.
- Tap and hold your device's tile.
- In your camera’s Live or History view, you can:
Spread or pinch two fingers to zoom in or out.
Double tap to zoom in. Do it again to zoom in further.
Drag one finger to pan around.

Decent Camera
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very easy to install and setup in the Google home app. Satisfied with video quality and overall product. Very very disappointed in the lack of integration with the nest app. Unfortunately I’m all in on the meet cameras. If I were in the position that this was my first camera purchase I would definitely buy into the Arlo family.
