    After being unhappy with a Swann NVR based system and an Arlo system I changed both of those out to Nest. The Nest system seems to run a little slower than Arlo did, but overall for the price, build quality, ease of setup, and ongoing subscription prices this was a great upgrade. Major gripe about the 2-pack was it didn't come with 2 chargers and cables, just one set, so I got shorted and should have gotten the single pack cameras. Also, I bought some wasserstein security mounts and then found out that the nest cams came with a security cable already.

      Hi finjam, we appreciate your feedback on Nest Cam (battery), and we’re glad that you find it a great upgrade. We hear your concerns, and we’d be happy to share this with the right team to work on improving our products and the services we offer, including product information.

      Meanwhile, we suggest having the latest version of the Google Home app that may improve camera playback controls to make it easier to play, pause, and navigate between events from the camera history view for cameras set up in the Google Home app. We also understand that having two charging cables for your cameras can be convenient for you. If you want to consider connecting your cameras to a power outlet for continuous power but you only have one charging cable and adapter, we suggest reaching out to our support team anytime so we can figure out a way to help you best, here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Good camera. Battery lasts several weeks sometimes months depending on the activity. Only reason for 4 stars is I believe the video quality could be a little better. Grainey picture when zooming in at all. Nest aware is pretty good and easy to use.

    Working so far, can’t believe they have gone to where you have to buy an electrical cord separate to keep it plugged in for continual live footage that cost an extra $35/40.

    These cameras are awesome. However if you put them in a high traffic area the battery life decreases substantially.

Using activity zones to focus on specific areas can also improve things.
