Nest Battery Camera
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cameras were easy to setup and install. Still determining how long the batteries will last. The cameras seem to be very well made, are heavy and the magnet very strong.

Posted .Hello there, Drew. Thank you for sharing your concerns about the battery life of your Nest Cam (battery). We're sorry to hear that the battery life of your device only lasts up to 4 days. Battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and selected camera settings. A typical scenario where the Nest Cam is busy (about 20-25 recorded events per day) should provide you about 1.5 months of battery life. We'd like to know more details about your concern and help identify the cause of this issue and improve on the overall performance of the device. Please contact us on our Google Nest Help page here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Nest cam outdoor battery
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A good product, but I wish Google had not purchased Nest. Setup was very easy and straightforward but the new devices can only be viewed in the Google home app and not in the nest app which is a disappointment. Quality is as expected though.

Decent camera option but..
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Battery life could be better and it can't be added to the Google nest app (you have to use Google home), and it's a little pricey. Other then that, it's great!

Posted .Hi there, Techy30sguy. Thank you for your feedback on Nest Cam (Battery). While we're glad to hear that you find it great, we apologize if the battery life fell short of your expectations.
The new generation of Nest cameras, including Nest Cam (Battery), is exclusively integrated into the Google Home app. Our aim was to create a centralized platform where you can control all your favorite Nest devices and other smart home devices using the Google Assistant. By using the Home app, you can enjoy several benefits, including automatic security protections such as Suspicious activity detection, 2-Step Verification, and Security Checkup. Additionally, your Google Nest devices and services seamlessly work together, allowing you to say commands like "Hey Google, show me the backyard camera" to effortlessly cast your camera stream to your display without any additional setup. The Google Home app also offers the convenience of signing in with a single account for both the Nest and Google Home apps. Your homes and home members will be synchronized across both platforms. Furthermore, if you're willing to try, you can also set up your older Nest cameras on the Google Home app. For more information, you can refer to this help article: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9293657
The battery life of Nest Cam (Battery) depends on various factors, including activity, temperature, and camera settings. To extend the battery life, users can adjust video quality, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and utilize activity zones to monitor specific areas. Here are some typical scenarios for the battery life:
- Busy: Approximately 1.5 months of battery life (around 20-25 recorded events per day)
- Typical: Approximately 3 months of battery life (around 9-12 recorded events per day)
- Quiet: Approximately 7 months of battery life (around 2-4 recorded events per day)
It's important to evaluate the frequency of events (per day) you encounter with your Nest Cam (Battery). If the short battery life isn't related to the event frequency, our support team can assist you further by taking a closer look at your device and identifying any underlying causes.

Easy install
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I installed these and have been using for about a month. I havent had to charge them yet so batteries last a good amount of time of normal use. Mount low and dont expect for it to start recording or detect motion if its further then 50 feet away

Easy set up! Stable app performance.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So easy to set up! And easy app connection from anywhere! I have yet to have an issue logging in and seeing live video. I also signed up for the premium storage online and live that.

Disappointing Product, Not Worth The Price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While I've been a longtime Nest user and have always been satisfied with the product line, this is a dud. Not integrating with the Nest App feels like a big miss (the Google Home UI is poor), the resolution quality is incredibly grainy and pixelated relative to the competition and the connectivity is always very touchy (while all other nest devices on the same network are bulletproof). On top of that is a price point that's nearly 3X the competition, while delivering a sub-par product. Not sure where Google lost their way here, this one is a disapointment.

Posted .Hi Mark, thanks for sharing your experience with us. We´re sorry to hear of your disappointment with the Google Home app, poor resolution and connectivity issue with your Nest Cam (Battery).
Our goal is to make the Google Home app the one place where you can control all your favorite Nest devices and other smart home devices with the Google Assistant. Here are some benefits you can get by using the Google Home app with your Nest Cam (Battery):
- Automatic security protections such as Suspicious activity detection, 2-Step Verification and Security Checkup.
- Your Google Nest devices and services will work together. For example, if you have a Nest Cam and a Nest Hub, just say, """"Hey Google, show me the backyard camera” to cast your camera stream to your display without any additional setup.
- One account to sign into both the Nest and Google Home apps.
- Your homes and home members will be aligned across the Nest and Google Home apps.
Here are some recommended steps below that you can try out to see if it might be helpful with the connectivity issue:
- Check your Wi-Fi network for possible congestion. Relieving some of your connected devices may help free up some bandwidth space.
- Check the distance between Nest Cam (Battery) and your router. Ensure that it's within a line of sight from your router.
- Check for wireless interference with other Wi-Fi hotspots or appliances and devices nearby.
We believe that Pixel count is only one factor that impacts video quality, and it shouldn’t be the only deciding factor when choosing a camera. Nest Cam (Battery) has HDR video quality that’s optimized to save battery, while giving you a clear view in bright sun or dark. For any other concerns you may have about Nest Cam (Battery), you´re always welcome to contact our support team using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Nest for the win

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.
