    Great products, like the onboard memory to upload clips if network connection is slow. Fair battery time and good video quality at a great service fee for saved video. Would recommend espeically if you have any other google home products!

    Best Buy local expert provided a great overview of the product. The installation was extremely easy. Used one in the house and the other outside. Added power cable to avoid removing it for charging and the need to pick the right angle, when remounting. Highly recommend!

    Just what I needed. Priced right and we're easy to install and set up. Using them for more than 10 days. Battery life is very good. Activity is normal and battery is holding. Purchased the covers/theft hoods also. Crisp video. I am satisfied with the purchase.

    The Best camera for the front door/porch area. Good price & I used my Best Buy rewards towards it. I highly recommend it. Also, load the app & it clicks like a notification, similar to a text & you can see who is there & speak to whoever at the front porch. I love it!

    Was sold something different then what I asked for. I was told I was buying Security Camera that would be hard wired not requiring recharging a battery. What was installed were battery operated cameras requiring recharging. They are ok but the battery charging looks like it will occur about every 4 weeks.

      Hi there, thanks for sharing your experience about Nest Cam (Battery). We’re sorry to hear that you got an incorrect device.

      For the battery life, it will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. You can extend the battery life of your camera 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:
      - 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 contacting BestBuy about their return/exchange policy. You may also contact our support team for further assistance with your concern, by simply reaching out to us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp madebygoogle

      Hi Tank, thanks for your feedback. Battery life of your Nest Cam will depend on factors including activity, temperature, and camera settings that you select. You may extend the battery life of your camera 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:

      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)

      It only takes around 4-5 hours to fully charge the Nest Cam (battery). The Google Home app shows you how much time you have left until your battery will need to be charged, and the app will also notify you once the camera needs to charge.

      We greatly appreciate your feedback as it helps us better understand our customers’ preferences and needs. For issues with the performance and features of the Nest Cam, please let us know and we’d be happy to help you, here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
