Easy set up! But check your settings.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to install. Just make sure you set the active areas so the camera doesnt pick up trees, flags, car on the street. I set for just our driveway. Otherwise the batter will drain too fast.

Posted .Hi CLou, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the battery issues you have with Nest Cam (battery).
The other ways you can extend the battery life of your camera is 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)
If you’re willing to try, 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 Nest Cam (Battery) and understand what may be causing it. We’re hoping that you’ll give us another chance to improve your experience. You may contact our support team for further assistance here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

I would recommend this to a friend Won't tilt down
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's like this huge and heavy battery cam is only made to tilt up. Can't get it to tilt down, making it hard to capture everything. If put down, it's even worse. I've done everything I can think of, moved it around, backward, forward, nothing works. And because of the magnet, there are limitations. I have two of the wired cams with no issues. Even the battery op doorbell has no issues. But this is a headache for lack of better word.

I would recommend this to a friend Good Camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Picked this camera up while on sale for a very reasonable price, I’ve been using it with the free 30 day trial of Nest Aware, which so far has worked really good for me, with one or two misses. Battery life has been good for the amount of activity where this camera is placed.

Decent unit...Terrible execution.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best Buy gets a 5 star. Google gets a 0. Leave it to Google to buy and ruin a good thing. This camera is decent quality, but who in their right mind wants to recharge their outside security camera daily. The camera DOES NOT integrate into existing set ups and frankly the application to use it just stinks. Google tech support to set this up is a joke as well. They do not know a thing about it in India and you will waste many minutes of your life listening to someone ask dumb questions that are not even part of this camera. Google failed on this totally.

Posted .Hi WM07, thanks for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to learn that Nest Cam (battery) didn’t meet your expectations, and that our support fell short in providing the help you needed. This is definitely not the kind of experience we want our customers to have.
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.
For the battery life, it depends 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)
If you´re willing to try, 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 Nest Cam (Battery) and understand what may be causing it. We’re hoping that you’ll give us another chance to improve your experience. Feel free to contact our support team here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Simple and just works
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wish the battery lasted a little longer. Overall a good product, the subscription is worth it. If you get a comparable system from Ubiquiti it would cost 4 times as much.
