    misleading description

    Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The product description clearly states that it provides "Up to 3 hours of event video history." However, I have discovered that this statement is misleading. The camera does not save 3 hours of total video recording; instead, it only retains video recorded in the last 3 hours. I woke up in the morning and saw the activity notification in my backyard and no recorded video because it happened more than 3 hours ago. This is a huge scam. I was unaware of this limitation because I had an active subscription last year. However, I realized this after canceling my subscription this year. As a customer, I feel frustrated and deceived by this discrepancy.

      Hi Cguerra, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We apologize if you’re unable to add your Nest Cam with Floodlight in Nest App.

      The new Nest Cam with floodlight 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.

      Your feedback is important to us, and your satisfaction is what drives us in improving our products and services. If you need help with your device, you can always reach out to our support team using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    This is battery operated with charging cable that wires into 110v. The battery dies in cold weather. doesn’t charge fast enough during the day to offset the cold at night. Don’t buy if you have cold weather

      Hi ThomasM. We understand your frustration with the Nest Cam with floodlight’s battery performance in cold weather. It's important to note that extreme cold temperatures can significantly impact the device’s battery life and charging capabilities.

      To ensure optimal performance, we recommend avoiding using the camera in temperatures below -4°F (-20°C). If the device is exposed to such cold conditions, it may experience reduced battery life, slower charging, or even temporary shutdowns.

      Check out this article for more detailed information on the device’s temperature limitations and best practices:
