    The video quality is outstanding in all levels of light. Really love the ability to create an activity zone to greatly minimize false positive alerts and truly focus on the areas we're most wanting to monitor.

    For the Price of Two You Actually Get Less!

    2 pack includes a bit of extra mounting hardware no one really needs (short security cables that aren't really secure?) and gimps you out of a whole wall charger and charging cable — despite being a 2 pack it only comes with 1 charger and 1 cable for both cameras but costs exactly the same as two individual kits that would each include a wall charger and its cable. In short, don't get gimped. Only buy the single camera kits.

    Great addition to my home security setup. Yes you have to use the Google Home app. I honestly don’t see why this is such a big deal to some people. The cameras catch and record more with better sensitivity if you have them connected to a power source, but for the areas where this isn’t possible they are suitable. I have one on my front porch wired, adding another to the side for battery and I just ordered the floodlight for the back yard. Very happy.

    I bought this as an addition to the ones I already have installed. I’m impressed with the clarity and the distance it captures. I’ve been able to look at recordings and can see license plates and can see details of strangers passing along the perimeter of my home. For the price, totally worth it. I’ve bought and used ADT cameras that can’t compare to the quality I get from the Google cameras. I totally recommend it.

    Very impressed with these cameras. They last a long time on battery power. My plan though is to have them plugged in in case I lose power then they're on battery power. Picture is great. You can zoom in to a certain extent

      Hi there, Yogi. Thanks for sharing your feedback on Nest Cam (battery), and we hear your concerns about its battery life. Since your camera is detecting a lot of activities, you can extend the battery life 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

      Also, you can plug your camera to a power outlet with the included power adapter for continuous power. However, the included power adapter is not weatherproof and not intended for outdoor use. We suggest using a compatible weatherproof cable (sold separately). Contact your retailer for inquiries.

      If you think that the battery life is lower than expected, we can help you check for reasons why and you can visit us anytime here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    While Google's issues with app compatibility are annoying, I still like this little camera. In the dead of winter, the battery lasted 4 months on a moderately busy street, an outcome which I was very happy with. Looking forward for the Google Home app update that makes it easier to scroll etc but so far no complaints. Worth it for the sale price I paid
