Nice camera with great video quality!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The video quality is great compared to other devices I have tried. It has people vs. pet recognition which seems to work so far. The product itself seems sturdy and feels like it will last in the outdoor elements. It does say it is only weatherproof and not waterproof so I'm not sure yet how this will hold up in the rain. I wish it worked with the existing Nest app. Unfortunately Amazon Alexa only has a skill that works with the Google Nest app. It does not ye work with Google Home app. Hopefully that is a feature they are working on.

Look Ma - No Wires!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Nest Cam Battery is an indoor and outdoor camera that can be used completely without any wires. One could use the Nest Cam with the provided power cable if desired. Everything needed to install including screws and screw anchors needed to mount the camera are included. Before any of the physical installation is performed, you will need to download the Google Home app onto your phone and scan the QR code that comes with the NestCam to set it up with your existing wifi connection and your smartphone. It is a good idea to physically place the Nest Cam in the location you will install it and confirm that you have a good wifi signal and that video quality is going to be good. Once setup and configured on the phone, the Nest Cam can be configured to alert when it sees something as well as record the event automatically. The alert and the recording can be viewed on the smartphone using the Google Home app. The quality of the picture is fine during the day time but note that the picture is black and white when capturing video during night time or when it is dark. The camera can be configured for quality, as well as night mode changes. The camera includes a microphone that records sound and lets you hear what is going in addition to seeing the video. There is also a speaker that lets you speak and you could potentially have a conversation with whoever you are seeing in the video. Included with the camera is a mounting base that has a strong magnet which helps with installation across multiple surfaces. The camera itself can be placed on the mounting base at any angle as the two elements connect via a magnetic attraction. So, the camera can be placed anywhere you want at any angle you need. Very well done, Google. One problem I ran into is the limited amount of video storage. The camera records and stores video for the latest three hours. You will need to purchase a Nest Aware subscription if you need to access video for extended duration. This is severely limiting especially if you do not get to alerts immediately e.g. if you are at work and in a meeting or with a customer for a couple of hours and then you get to alerts couple of hours later, you will not be able to review the full video as the system automatically deletes video after three hours if you do not have the Nest Aware subscription. I see this as a major issue and Google should change to three hours to something more reasonable or atleast provide an alternate recording option

Frustrated

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this camera for a couple of weeks and I am frustrated with it. I set it up at first inside using the Google Home app which works, but the picture can't be enlarged without flipping between portrait and landscape which is super frustrating. I've tried to find a setting to lock it but there isn't one. So I decided to set up the nest app. I've tried to set it up by scanning the bar code which then moves to the Google home app, but it never finishes set up. I tried setting it up using the 6 digit entry key which never finishes set up. Honestly at this point I am beyond frustrated. The picture looks like it can be good, but since I can't get the product to set up correctly I'm not really sure.

Simply Amazing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Google Nest Cam (outdoor or indoor, battery) has already exceeded my expectations! Setting it was much easier than I expected and if you follow the instructions you should have it done in no time. One of my favorite features of this cam is the night vision with 1080p HD. This Google Nest Cam is truly amazing and I highly recommend it!

Looks great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everything about this looks great. We have not been able to hang it at the front door yet because we have to mount in masonry. The online instructions are easy to understand, and manageable even for a tech dummy like me. We are excited to get this up and running.

easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Nest Cam is really easy. To set up and use. The magnetic base this holds the camera is great. It's very easy to adjust the camera for optimal viewing angel. I use the camera outside to keep an eye on my dog. The features are great. It records movement so you can go back and review. The night vision works extremely well.

Easiest set-up ever!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've tried many cameras - at least 8 different brands/models over the years. This camera was hands down the easiest set up ever. I do have Nest smoke alarms, so the camera was able to set itself up simply by connecting wirelessly to one of them. Once that was done, the camera was up and running. All I had to do was mount it to my outside wall and it worked terrific.

Improved functionality without subscription

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nest products have some of the best inage wuality of the various camera products available today. However, I have avoided them in the past due to the very costly subscriptions required to get a decent product experience out of them. Google has increased the functionality of the products without a plan, and lowered the cost of the subscriptions. This is a beautiful little camera that requires no wires for ease of installation. If you want to put up a camera without drilling for wires give this camera a look.

Safe and simple

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our new Nest Cam makes us feel so safe. It was such an easy wire free installation. Works wonderfully and you can see very clearly.Get phone alerts and it has HD with Night Vision.We can check in on our home to see what are dogs or children are doing. It provides security even if it rains. The Nest Cam can be put inside your home or outside your home, whichever you prefer. To set it up- plug into outlet, get the google home app, tap + to add your camera. What it all comes with is Nest Cam, magnetic plate, wall plate, screws and anchors, a charge cable and power adapter. If you need assistance with installation , or need an accessory, there is a toll free number you can call and they will walk you through it. We love it and will recommend this product to all of our friends and family.
