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

Has yet to record a single animal in my yard.

I bought this camera for exactly one purpose -- to see what animals are eating everything we plant in our back yard. I have adjusted all the sensitivity settings, but it has still yet to capture a single clip of any animal. All it ever records is clips of me, my wife, our gardener, and the pool guy. Plus, without a paid subscription, it only keeps recordings for 3 hours and then deletes them. So even if it did record an animal in the middle of the night, I wouldn't be able to watch it. So for my purposes, the camera has been useless.

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.

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.

Thanks for your feedback on the Nest Cam (Battery), Riley. We’re glad you’re enjoying the compatibility with your other Google products. That said, we hear your concerns about the device not working in colder weather. The device operates optimally within a temperature range of –4°F to 104°F (–20°C to 40°C). We’d be happy to investigate and make sure it’s running as smoothly as possible. When you get the time, reach out to us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Nest cameras highly recommended

I use my nest cameras thru a window to see the outside. (Cameras are positioned as close to the window pane as I can get .... one hangs from a curtain rod and i have 2 on purchased bases. all have the infrared turned off). Outside below the windows i have sòlar led garden ĺights for lighted outside night viewing. i can vìew my property añytime of day from anywhere using the Home app on a tablet, phòne, hub etc. i have 3 Nest cameras in use and recommend the use of Nest cameras thru a window using Wi-Fi. Setting the camera views up I hold a tablet nearby so i can see exactly where the cameras is going to be pointing. Saves a lot of setup time doing it this way. These cameras are very useful for personal safety. It should also be mentioned the ease of saving video and screenshots to your device for future reference. I recommend stopping your video close to where you want to note, enlarge the scene by pinching and stretching then screenshotting a view to save. i find Nest cameras do satifactorly what I expect of them by developing useful tricks to accomplish what I need. Nest products are recommended for your peace of mind.

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.

reply from Nest Support

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
