    At first I was skeptical, but it seems to have learned and picked up events as expected. I wasn’t sure about moving to the Google Home app but it’s been great so far. Battery life is fantastic

    I love all of the cameras that Nest/Google have released. My only gripe is power cable length.

    These cameras are easy to set up. I liked the old Nest app better than Google Home, but these new cameras only work with Google Home.

      Hey Mike, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us, and we’re glad that you found the Nest Cam (battery) with ease of setup and use. We’re aware that longtime Nest users enjoy having the option to view their Nest camera feeds from the web, and we are working on adding this experience. However, our priority with this launch was building a complete experience for our new cameras and doorbell in the Google Home app.

      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. And if you need help with any concerns about the performance and functionality of the camera, You're more than welcome to let us know here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Zero issues with this device. The lack of power cable allowed me to put cameras where I needed without all the extra work. I think I’m going on 30 days or so with no battery issues.

    Charged the battery Friday. It's dead by Monday morning. Takes over 4 hours to charge. Very far from estimated battery life. Quite annoying.

    Nice clear picture and the battery life is pretty good. I have dogs that go outside several times a day and activate the camera and it still lasts for several weeks. Highly recommend!

    It meets all my expectations. It is wireless and has a battery life of 5 weeks. But the history can't be saved unless you pay a monthly fee.
