Terrible

I bought this July 2022. I have problems with it 80% of the time. It keeps shutting off when I try to review live or recorded video on my cell. Very hard to rewind video, takes many tries. I have to tap things 5 times to see live video. I have to click "front yard camera" box many times because it shuts off. It's just a pain trying to use it. The picture and sound are great when they work.

Hello there, DEBRA. We appreciate that you like the image and sound quality of the Nest Cam (battery). But we’re sorry to hear your experience with its performance and connectivity.<br /><br />A range issue or wireless interference can affect the overall performance of your camera. Sometimes it may pass the connection test during setup, but will struggle to stay connected if it’s just a bit too far away. If you&#39;re experiencing a spotty connection or weak signal, we recommend checking your Wi-Fi network to see if your bandwidth is congested. This may happen if you have too many devices connected on the same bandwidth or if your network package is not enough to handle the data traffic on the network. If your camera is mounted too far from your Wi-Fi router, you may need to extend your Wi-Fi network’s range using an extender, boosters or additional Wi-Fi access points.<br /><br />Here are some steps that may also help:<br />- Plug your Nest camera into a power outlet to rule out power issues.<br />- Turn off other devices connected to your WiFi that may relieve network congestion.<br />- You can also try restarting your router to reset your internet connection. You should also restart any Wi-Fi range extenders or repeaters that you have.<br /><br />If the issues persist, we’d be happy to provide you with further troubleshooting guidance here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

does what it says, annoying to recharge

This works well with other Google devices! The camera quality is decent, but the device complains every few days about being too cold in the winter. Because there are no fixed mounting positions, you are free to position the camera precisely, but there’s no good way to put it back in exactly the same place after charging it.

Good camera

Clear picture and sound. My only complaints are: (1) it would only connect on a 2.4ghz connection so I set up a network solely for my cameras. (2) it didn't notify me to let me know the battery in one was almost dead. Works great with Google Home app and my Google assistant screens I have in the house.

These cameras are really nice, clear.

Sometimes they pick up false image. Once you get used to them, you will like them too. If you are using them for security, you will need to have the plug in cameras so you are recording live constantly. Good luck There is also a subscription you will need to purchase

Great vivid camera

Nest battery cam outperforms other cameras. I have had several other brands and google camera great in video and easy to install and use. The biggest selling point for me is the live feed (no refresh before you see) and the App! The google home app is great (not as good as the old nest app) but better than the competitors.

Garbage camera unworthy of being called “Nest”

This is a terrible disappointment. I own three other Nest (preGoogle) cameras and wanted more coverage of my backyard- specifically at night due to wildlife activity. First evening of installation went like this: Received a notification of person in backyard even though clearly no one has been in the backyard since the camera was installed 3 hours earlier. While trying to review the video of mystery person, the app crashed twice. Then once the sun set, even with “Night vision always on,” all I got was darkness. I had to turn a patio light on to get a faint image. I’m returning this camera and going back to using the Nest app with the older devices that actually work as expected. I’d rather have less coverage than crappy, unreliable and delayed security.

2 steps forward, 3 steps back

The next-gen Google Nest cameras have some great new features, but they have removed some of the essential tools that I use every day with my older Nest cams. DO NOT BUY if you need to be able to save random clips or long clips. This cam will only let you save clip that its AI has decided are important. DO NOT BUY if you need to monitor the camera on a PC/Mac, it can only be viewed in the Google Home app on your phone. This camera does not show up in the Nest app, and it does not let you record time-lapse clips. Overall, my experience with this camera has been frustrating and disappointing. I have a total of 7 Nest cameras installed including this one.

Hi Larry, we appreciate you for taking the time to share your feedback about the Nest Cam (Battery), and we’re sorry to learn that it’s a disappointment for you.<br /><br />We’re aware that longtime Nest users enjoy viewing their Nest camera feeds from the Nest app and web app. However, our priority with this launch was building a complete experience for our new cameras and doorbell in the Google Home app. We chose to transition to the Home app because this app is designed for the future of the smart home, a single place to set up, manage, automate, and control your home. Most home devices are controlled across multiple apps, but we’re working on making the Google Home app the central controller across all your home devices, including Google devices and devices from other brands.<br /><br />We’re always here for your support needs. Feel free to contact us anytime if you have any concerns about the new Nest Cam and we’d be happy to help: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
