Google is ruining Nest.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm so disappointed to see Google phasing out the nest app. I bought this new battery camera, it works great don’t get me wrong. But the google home app is nothing compared to the Nest app. If you have an older nest cam you have to go back and forth between the apps to view the camera history. The google home app tracks my location all the time so it’s hard on my phone battery, and my phone will be warm when I pick it up. The Nest app is so fast and snappy. So much more user friendly. I’m returning this new “Nest cam” and changing brands.

Nice Cameras for Existing Google Home
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Simple to add to my existing Google Nest products, battery life is good, though I hardwired one now. Plenty of other cameras cheaper but the quality is good, one of my kids was helping install and dropped the camera and not even a scratch.

Nest Camera Battery.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was waiting for a while to have a nest camera that is battery supported. Although don't like the fact that it won't give the 24hr recording feature unless it's plugged in. Overall the camera is great it does what it needs to do in my opinion.

Great For Google Lovers - Google Home Software Lac
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.At the time of this review I have see lots of work to be done in the Google Home app where these new cameras need to be viewed. Many features such as video time scanning and clips creations are missing. No complaints of the cameras build quality or video feed. Think the shortcomings of the Google Home software can easily be remedied as long as Google is willing to fix the software. For those users that currently have Nest cameras and want to add to their arsenal of security cameras I'm sorry to say that these are not compatible with the Nest App and MUST be viewed within the Google Home app (lacking software features currently found in Nest app).

Posted .Hi Jose, thanks for giving us your honest feedback about the Nest Cam (battery), and we’re sorry to hear that the Google Home app lacks some software features found in 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. In the near future, we’ll allow users to set up previous Nest devices and have full control in the Home app. Users with older cameras can view their camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new Nest Doorbell and Nest Cams. Our team is working on bringing full functionality to the Google Home app so all of your cameras can be set up and controlled in one place.
We're always here to help you improve your experience. If you have any issue with your Nest camera and with using it effectively in the Google Home app, please feel free to find us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Good camera so far…
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was already aware of camera only being part of google home, not nest app. Which is fine since I use both. My only complaint is battery life, doesn’t last long on balanced setting. I already purchased cable, so it’s hard wired now.

Super easy set up
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was super easy to set up. I put it off thinking I would need to drill holes and mount it but I was wrong. The magnets are very strong and the battery lasts for a month or more depending on how often you use it. The magnet on the base holds very firmly to any metal and the camera attaches to the base with magnets as well and you can position it however you need it. It charges very quickly and lasts a long time.
