Posted .Hello there, Marmorse. We appreciate your feedback and we’re glad that you find the Nest Cam (battery) with ease of use. We hear your concern about having one charging cable only for the 2-pack cameras. The inclusion of a single cable is intentional, as the cameras shouldn't usually need to be charged at the same time due to differences in usage, such as event frequency or scene the camera is observing, sensitivity and event duration settings, and more.
We’ll share your feedback with the right team as we’re constantly looking to improve the reliability, usability, and use of various features. If help is needed, let us know by visiting us anytime here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Good camera, no nest app support
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Camera works as intended. Annoying that it's not compatible with the NEST app. That seems like it would have been easy to implement.

Posted .Hi Drew, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We apologize if you’re unable to add your Nest Cam (battery) in the Nest app.
The new Nest Cam (battery) is exclusive to the Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience. 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 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 value your feedback as it will greatly help us in improving our products and services. If you have any questions or concerns, you can always reach out to our support team. We’d be more than happy to help here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Posted .Hi there, MakaylieD. Thanks for your insights on Nest Cam (Battery). We appreciate that you're liking the image quality of the camera. We do apologize if the battery life didn't meet your expectations.
Your Nest camera's battery life will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. 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. Here are some typical scenarios for your Nest Cam (Battery):
Busy: About 1.5 months battery life (about 20 - 25 recorded events per day)
Typical: About 3 months battery life (about 9 - 12 recorded events per day)
Quiet: About 7 months battery life (about 2 - 4 recorded events per day)
We recommend checking the frequency of events (per day) that you get with your Nest Cam (Battery). If the short battery life isn´t related to the frequency of events, then we may need to have a closer look at your device and understand what may be causing it. You may contact our support team for further assistance here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Works great
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great outdoor cameras. Added peace of mind and security.
I would recommend this to a friend System actually works
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We switched from the Arlo system which was terribly buggy and took forever to load so this was an upgrade in that sense. They also look fantastic! Only issue is that the quality of the video could be better, things that are not up close are rather blurry - no way I could read a license plate with a recording but I could probably describe the car color/make/model.

Posted .Hey there, lmondot. We’re glad that you like the Nest Cam (battery), and we appreciate you sharing your concern about its video quality. We suggest adjusting your cameras’ video quality that can improve the resolution. The higher the video quality setting you choose, the sharper and more detailed your footage can be, but it also uses more of your internet bandwidth. This setting lets you choose the maximum video quality for your cameras. And whichever level you pick, your camera will automatically adjust its resolution and compression according to how much bandwidth is available.

Not Bad, Consider Other Options
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The camera itself is okay but seems all Google Next cameras have some kind of connection issues. I had to disable some settings in my router to make the connection stable. For outdoor camera like this, maybe would consider different options for better connectivity.

Nice security and curiosity addition
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works well and setup was a little time consuming but successful on the first rookie try.
I would recommend this to a friend Ol reliable
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Been a good experience overall. There have been a couple instances where I wanted to go back to a specific event. But there was a drop in events. Like 2 minutes before the event and then it picks up several minutes later. Happened pretty few and far between times. But I have 6 devices so I can’t really complain too much.

Outdoor Camera
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.easy to install, clean pics. connected to wifi with ease
I would recommend this to a friend Great fit for a Google Home
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love how easy it was to setup and have integrated into a Google Home. Great battery life. The only downside is the range for how far away movement will trigger a recording event. I have a driveway about 60ft from the mounting point on the house and it seems like the max distance movement will trigger a recording is 30ft.

Posted .Hello there, Tyler. It’s great to hear that the setup of your Nest Cam (battery) went easy, and that you like its battery life. We hear your concern about the event detection feature.
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.
