Customer Ratings & Reviews

The original Nest app was so much better, smoother, quicker and more user friendly than the Google Home app which is a tragedy... I don’t know why google had to lower the quality by making these none-backward compatible with an awesome Nest app that they decided to decommission and use Google Home instead.

I have google everything so this was a no brainer. Was a bit upset that the Nest app didn't control these, I've gotten used to using the home app now for everything. My front yard camera gets a lot of action and I have to charge it weekly. They remove rather easy and charge in 2-3 hours.

I love my camera it provides great quality and it stayed up during storm Helene.

I like these cameras overall but there is a big shortfall. If you or someone in your family has a business gmail account you cannot add these to Google Home. Try having a conversation with your customer when you've installed a bunch of these and then tell them they can't use their primary email for the set up. Some people get really upset about this. This is a Google product. Why would you do this??

It is relatively easy to install and good picture quality is available immediately.

I can’t get the camera to pick up the last 4 digits to connect camera and it doesn’t let me manually plug in. I guess it is not compatible with my current Nest System. Very frustrating. I am going to return. I gave it an average because I am sure it works great if I could get it going, I am returning the camera.

Google products demonstrate a high degree of reliability and user-friendliness, complemented by commendable battery performance.

Great addition to my Google Home network. Cameras have Great sounds and video for the money. I do have them both hardwired in to get live video all the time. Want to add another for the back of the house.

It is misleading for Google to call this new Google Nest Camera Battery a "Nest" camera. It does not work with the Nest app along with all of our other Nest cameras. It cannot be accessed online from a computer along with our other Nest cameras on the Home Nest website. Further, unlike our other Nest cameras, we cannot manually edit clips from video history and cannot even gather a video clip from the Home Nest website from a computer. Google says it's "committed to providing a seamless Home app experience for our [Nest camera] customers." Then why can't we configure our existing Google Nest cameras and doorbells and view their history from the Google Home app? Why can't we access the new Nest camera online from our computer? Why do we have to use two different apps to get notifications from our Google Nest cameras? Why does the new Nest camera not have the Enhance feature present on our existing Nest cameras to set zoom when recording history? Why can we only get email notifications from our existing Nest cameras and not this new Nest camera? This is NOT "seamless." Releasing this camera without having this in place and instead promising to improve it sometime in the future is like selling a new car and saying "sorry, unlike your current car, reverse gear doesn't work right now, and the windows and air conditioning also don't work right now; we're working on adding those features in the future. And by the way, the old model is no longer available." As a long-time Google Nest customer, I am profoundly unhappy with our new Google Nest camera, which we purchased because the previous Google Nest outdoor camera is no longer available. This new camera is really a "beta" release and Google should be compensating customers for testing its as-yet-unfinished product.

I'm giving these a 5-star rating because they can actually be used as a security device. Every other doorbell cam and WiFi camera cannot. If your WiFi goes down because of someone with a jammer, these keep recording up to 3 hours of footage and upload it when they are back online. They also have WPA3 security to require PMF so they can't be deauthed. No other camera besides a hard-wired camera (like PoE) can be used as a security device except these. Thank you Google for trying. Yes the app needs work and they lack features but at least you can rely on them. I tested it out just to be sure. Shut down the WiFi router, moved around in front of these (one plugged in, other on battery), went back and turned the router on and there it was- the footage taken without WiFi sitting right there in the Google Home app like it never missed a beat for both cameras.

Nice camera. They need to be close to the wifi so you don't run the battery down.

Sure the picture could be a little clearer. Sure the plug should plug in the correct direction, but the cameras do what I need them to do. I can see people at my backdoor, front door, driveway and side of house. They are super easy to mount. I even installed outlets by all the cameras (yes, I am handy), but wished they made a waterproof cable that was only 6 feet long. Overall these are good, not excellent, but good.

Our Nest Cams are absolutely am. Love the clarity of the photos.

Cameras work great! easy to install and with NEST aware sub they detect faces and always capture motion and send me notifications.. Paired with a couple solar panels so i wouldn't have to charge them all the time

Expensive product with unreliable and terrible performance. You do not have access to old footage, only seen events. I can walk right past these cameras and half the time never trigger an event. About 80% of the time when you open the home app the cameras say no connection and takes clicking refresh over and over. I do not have the same issues with my wired cameras however when i add all of my cameras they all start to glitch. My wired cameras will record a few seconds and then say video not available for a few seconds and the footage is basically useless and you’re unable to connect and watch the footage live. Eventually (days later) the footage is magically available. When i remove any 1 camera this stops. So imagine you hear something outside and want to check out what’s going on. Only to be met with a black screen that says video unavailable refresh for 30-45 seconds. Knowing the device doesn’t pick up events half the time and there is no video history.

I would recommend this product. It has video and sound capabilities as well as the option to communicate through them. Setup is quick and easy as well.

Great for the backyard or garage, notifies you when there is movement. Detects sounds and lights. Has built-in speaker to talk with people.

Amazing camera. Has worked for me for years and kept my home safe.

Fast and simple setup! Buy the power cables for these cameras and you have 24/7 recording!

Easy to set up. Durable - I dropped one from 8 feet onto concrete while retrieving it for recharging and it still works flawlessly. I have everything Google so these integrated easily and seamlessly.
