Easy to set up
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are super easy to set up and mount quickly via magnets or the included hardware. The battery lasts for a long time and we only have to charge ours once a month or longer.

Warning: doesn't work well with old Nest Cameras
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just talked with Google Nest support and this 'Nest' camera does NOT work with the Nest app, only the Google home app. WORSE is that the old Nest cameras don't fully work in the Google home app (no video history). So the answer from support is using two separate apps to get alerts and video history. That is crazy. So don't buy unless you don't own any Nest products currently. And even then--the Google Home app is pretty bad/not easy to use. They should remove the name 'Nest' from the product and give warnings about this.

Posted .Hi Dudeman, we appreciate your feedback and thanks for sharing your insights about the Nest Cam (Battery). We understand how inconvenient it is to have two separate apps to control and manage your cameras.
The new Nest cameras and doorbells are exclusive to the Home app, but you can view your old Nest Cams in the Home app alongside the new Nest Doorbell and Nest Cams. If you set up your camera or doorbell in the Home app, you can use the Home app to change its settings, and if you first set up your camera or doorbell in the Nest app, most of its settings will be in the Nest app, but you can also change some settings in the Home app. Camera settings that appear in both the Home app and Nest app (for example, turning the camera on or off) will look different. However, changing one of these settings in one app will be reflected in the other app.
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. In the meantime, if you have any concerns around the performance and features of the Nest Cam (Battery), let us know here and we’d be happy to help: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

I especially like the portability. Best Buy had wonderful customer service who found the l product quickly. Kind and attentive service. Had product in stock.
I would recommend this to a friendBest one out there
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Better than the old gen. I like that these are wireless and you can wire it for continuous recording. Pretty crazy that Ring doesn’t have continuous recording, that’s why I go with Nest.
I would recommend this to a friendBest security camera
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these after buying the Google doorbell camera. Because I had already setup the doorbell via Google app, adding these were simple. I also bought the extra long outdoor cables. No fault alerts after using for 6 months. No charging needed. working even during power outage.
I would recommend this to a friendPerfect pet cam!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted an indoor camera to check on my dog whenever I am away from home. This is absolutely perfect. Long lasting battery, easy to access, and i caught it on sale. It’s a win!

I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from Nest Support
Posted .Hi Bmfmitchell, your feedback with the Nest Cam (battery) is highly appreciated, and we’re glad that you find it one of the best battery operated cameras. Although the camera can run on battery alone, if you prefer it wired for continuous power, you can connect your camera to a power outlet with the included or optional power adapter that will keep the battery charged. Please note that the power adapter included with the Nest Cam (battery) is not weatherproof and not intended for outdoor use.
We offer 24/7 video history on wired Nest Cams with a Nest Aware Plus subscription. You can get 60 days of events history and 10 days of 24/7 video history if you choose to connect your Nest Cam (battery) to a power cable. Check this link to learn more on what you can get with the Nest Aware subscription, and compare the difference: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9233159

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great camera. The only thing is it uses a lot of data.
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from Nest Support
Posted .Hello Nest user, we’re grateful for your feedback, and we hear your concern about the data usage of Nest Cam (battery).
When you pick video quality and bandwidth settings, you set the maximum video quality for your camera. Your camera will automatically adjust video resolution and compression according to how much bandwidth is available. You only use download bandwidth when you watch video in the app over Wi-Fi. This typically requires the same amount of bandwidth it takes to upload the video. Your camera also uses a small amount of bandwidth to download software updates and other information from the Nest service. If you need your camera to use less data over the course of a month, you can try some of the things below:
- Lower the video quality and bandwidth settings so that your camera won't use as much data to upload video to the cloud.
- Use Home & Away Routines (Home app) or Home/Away Assist (Nest app) to turn your camera on and off automatically. This is especially useful if your camera has 24/7 video history, so that it doesn't constantly upload video to the Nest service.
- Some camera and doorbell models can also use camera schedules to turn on and off automatically to help reduce the amount of data used. Please note that It's not recommended to stream camera video with a mobile hotspot.
We’re always here to help. Feel free to let us know if you need one by contacting us at: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Two apps...so stupid
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Like everyone else, it is absolutely ridiculous that I can not use my nest app that currently has 3 devices...i thought it did not apply to the camera..just ridiculous

Posted .Hi Browndawg, we appreciate you for letting us know of your experience with the Nest Cam (Battery) and we’re sorry that it didn’t meet your expectations. We understand that being unable to use the Nest app, with your 3 other Nest devices, can be frustrating for you.
New Nest cameras and doorbells are exclusive to the Google Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience. Users with previous versions of Nest cameras can view their camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new Nest Doorbell and Nest Cams. Our long term plan is to use the Google Home app and our team is working on bringing full functionality to 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.
We have help always available for your support needs. If you come across an issue with your Nest Cam (Battery) and with using it effectively in the Google Home app, please feel free to let us know here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Won’t work with Nest App
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I ended up returning these cameras. I have several other Nest cameras but this new version doesn’t work with the Nest App and website. You have to use the Google Home app. I couldn’t find where I could watch live video on my laptop like I could with the Nest website.
