Problem Returning It
I spent $500 on 2, 2 packs of Google Nest Cameras online from Target.com. I was not satisfied with the clarity compared to another well known brand. I attempted to return them in store and was denied because the 1 serial number on the 1 box that I actually opened does not match the 2 serial numbers on each device. I ordered these directly from Target, and that is how they came. What an inconvenience, and such poor inventory control!

Does not integrate with any smart home system
The camera, itself appears to be OK. The only exception is that the power cable was designed backwards. The major problem is that you cannot use this “Nest” camera with the “Nest” app. You have to use it in the Google Home app where its functionality and capabilities are rendered useless. None of the features available in the Nest app are accessible in the Home app. There is also an insane list of restrictions for setting up automations. So many, that every automation I’ve ever tried to set up gives you an error saying it’s not permitted. Even something as simple as turning the camera off when you’re home. Also, any integration that Google Home has with Smart Home applications hides this camera from them, so you cannot integrate it with anything. This camera is the worst purchase I ever made.

Dont' buy
I've had to completely delete and re-ad, then reset the cameras more than once is 9 months owning two of these nest battery cameras. I would have been better off paying for a home security company to monitor. When they did work, video quality wasn't great and they always had connectivity issues. Yes, I followed all the proper steps. Even if they're next to the router they don't work.

So so
Very easy to set up. But it doesn’t always pick up motion which is kind of concerning. I bought it on sale so it’s whatever but I wouldn’t pay full price for these cameras.

Hi Mommabear1, thanks for sharing your feedback with us about the Nest Cam (battery). We’re sorry to hear that the motion detection feature is less than ideal for you. You can adjust the wake-up sensitivity of your camera to decide when to wake up and start recording. If the wake-up sensitivity is low: - It decreases the range at which the camera can sense activity. - It increases the amount of time it takes for the camera to wake up once it senses activity. Here's how to adjust the wake-up sensitivity in your camera settings: - Open the Home app. - Touch and hold your device's tile. - Tap Settings > Video > Wake-up sensitivity. - Choose the High Low setting. If additional help is needed, simply let us know anytime here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Wanted to like it
Had to return it. Looked great setting it up. Live view was working great. Then after setting it up and an update. Wasn't letting me watch live view. Delayed download of video. Didn't know if it was recording? Needed something more instantly available. Really wanted to like it. Didn't even get to setting up outside. Too many things made me return it. Delays in video upload, couldn't watch live, and not knowing if it was actually recording when I wanted it to.

Not a fan of the new nest cams
I have 4 of the original nest cams in 2 different houses, and we wanted additional cameras for our barn and bought these. We have returned and gone back to the first generation cameras for several reasons. The feed is grossly delayed (up to 20 min) compared to the regular ones. Notified a person is there but the video won’t load for 20 min. Per the internet there is some uploading to the cloud that must take place, and some people have a delay of 10 seconds or so. That was not my experience, it was grossly delayed, and that has never been my experience with the original cameras. There is no continuous feed where you can scroll back to see the entire 24 hours. If nest didn’t pick up something as an alert, you aren’t going to be able to review the feed. There are a lot of reasons we like to do this- including when people may walk through your yard and it’s visible on the video, but the camera isn’t sensitive enough to trigger an alert. The battery life ranges from 1-6months. Our cameras are not in the most convenient location and I wouldn’t want to get on a ladder in December to charge one. You can purchase a cord for $30 (they must be modeling after apple). Many others commented that these will not integrate into the nest app. I would have been fine changing to google home app, but for all the other reasons above these cameras were not what we wanted. Found some older versions and we are sticking to those.

Easy to Use and Install
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great and powerful little camera! We've tested it both indoor and outdoor and the picture quality is just what you'd expect from Nest products. It was easy to install and easy to use through the Nest App. The camera feels very high quality and the images show that. Highly recommended!

I love using this with my cats!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love using this camera with my cats! I can check in on them when I’m not home and it makes me feel safe that they are doing ok and not getting into too much trouble. Since my cats have their own room I know there is a good place to put the camera but this would be a great camera to put also outside for security too. I like how easy it is to use.

Nice camera
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Google Nest camera is a decent security camera. Install wasn’t bad, pretty straightforward and everything you need for set-up is included. The picture quality is decent, about what I’d expect. Nothing spectacular. I wish it offered some recordings without having to subscribe to their service though. That’s the only real downside.

Amazing camera and It’s wireless!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this Google nest camera, outdoor, for over a month now and and I can’t stress enough how amazing this camera is. The response time and clarity are impeccable. It’s perfect security for my home. I wish I would’ve known about it sooner. The battery life has been great. I haven’t had to charge it yet so that’s a plus. It was also easy to install. I usually have my husband do these type of things installations but I was able to do it on my own. Another awesome feature is the magnetic mount it has to hold the camera in place. The magnetic works so well that it was able to withstand when we had winds of over 50 miles an hour. It’s also done great with all types of weather including freezing rain. I love that I can check my camera anywhere anytime from my phone and able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my house is protected.

Old Nest camera users will be unhappy
Be warned that these new Nest Cameras cannot be installed into the Nest app, and if you have existing cameras you'll have to use Google Home to monitor them (with a terrible UI) or use two separate apps to monitor your cameras. These also only record continuous video with the highest level of Nest Aware subscription, and currently our existing Nest Aware that works with our old cameras is not giving us any history beyond the 3 hours of event based recording. If I knew this fully before unboxing to install them, I would have returned them. The new model has literally made everything worse, with the exception of improved night vision.

Hi Nick, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We apologize if you’re unable to add your Nest Cam (Battery) in the Nest app. 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. Your feedback is important to us as it will greatly help us understand our customers’ needs. If you have any questions or concerns, you can always reach out to our support team by visiting our website.

Fun design! Excellent use of magnets.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It has good video and nice range. It will alert if motion detected. I had a few problems setting up. I was used to Apple products and am working now on a Samsung tablet - so probably operator error. I only have one Google nest cam and didn't have any other devices in Google Home. When you view the camera, it shows battery life- right now mine is on 76% or 3 weeks. It estimates it on usage, weather and camera activity. (got the indoor/outdoor) Currently use indoor. Video can sense motion and record it. Can view histroy and send notification if it senses a person. The microphone will pick up voices and noises and you can speak through the nest camera. I have been playing with the magnetic part of it. I stuck to my refrigerator, a 3 hole punch, and a metal wall art.

Convenient camera
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Nest Cam battery powered is a super convenient way to monitor your property. The camera was well packaged and included everything needed to mount it. The set up was very easy to navigate. The picture is very clear and night vision works great! We love having this to watch the wildlife in our backyard. It's very easy to take down to charge and stays up even in very windy conditions. This is a great camera.
