Google Nest Cam Battery-Powered Wireless Indoor and Outdoor Smart Home Security Camera 2 Pack + Chromecast with Google TV 4K in Snow

Terrible product that does not work

I have owned four google nest cameras for the past two years, and they have been an absolute disaster. They randomly shut off and cannot be remotely turned back on. I have to get a ladder, go outside, and manually cycle the power. Of my four cameras, two are usually offline at any given time. The event detection algorithm is awful. 24/7 history is a paid feature, and automatic event detection routinely misses critical events. If you didn't pay for 24/7, you're out of luck. Event missed. ...

Nice "Set It and Forget It Cam" with Some Caveats

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A big fan of Google products and how simple they are to use, I had an opportunity to pick up a Google Nest Indoor/Outdoor battery cam. Hardware (the cam and what’s in the box): You get Snow white Nest cam (cam and magnetic plate adjoined), a quick-start guide, a proprietary charging cable (USB A to proprietary end), a charging brick, mounting bracket, two drywall sinkers, and two screws. I unboxed the cam and plugged it in. An LED indicat...

You get what you pay for

First off DO NOT RUN THESE USING BATTERIES. Second if you have connection issues with these cameras it isn't the camera its your subpar router. I love these Google cameras. All of my smart home items are integrated into the Google environment and my wife and I use pixel devices so it all works cohesively for the most part. Now as for the camera I have never had issues with connecting. I have no lag however I have invested heavily in my own home network. I have 2 gig fiber internet with a cat8 li...

Lowes review

My review is on lowes and not the camera. I ordered the camera and refrigerator together. My camera was a pickup from the store and my refrigerator was schedulednfor delivery. At the original pickup location for the camera,i never rece8ved an email the entire day so i called to verify that my order was there and was informed that they were waiting for someone to pick it. Called back later on that evening about 5 and was informed that they were checking inventory sonthey switched the pickup to an...

Terrible cameras all the way around

I bought these cameras because I had bought google nest cameras years ago and they were way better than Ring cameras, which was their only real competition at the time... oh how they have fallen! I installed these cameras and I was severely disappointed. these cameras are battery powered with no silicone plug to keep moisture out of the port, the range sucks... I moved my router literally right next to the wall next to the closest camera and I changed the settings to maximized bandwidth and sign...

Love the swivel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the physical product. It was simple to install outside and position so that I could see what I wanted. The removable base on a magnet makes it super simple to change the position of the line of site. To install you just take the base ring and two screws and find a location that you can drill into and you can point at what you want. Once you have the base ring on the wall you just twist the white base onto that and you are good to...

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 se...

Works well on battery

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I already have a couple of wired Nest cameras, running cables to sockets in the garage and on the back porch, so I was interested in the idea of a wireless camera. I was a little skeptical of how well that would work, but as you still have the option of using it wired, it would be ok if that aspect didn't work out. To test the operation, I set the camera up in the kitchen, a relatively high traffic area of the house so the camera would get p...

No more Google products

I had two battery-operated cameras, and eventually, they would no longer charge. Additionally, I had perfectly functioning smoke detectors, but Google decided to support no longer the product, which forced me into buying new smoke detectors (my mistake). Then, Google decided to stop supporting my perfectly operating generation 1 and 2 thermostats, so I could no longer use the app to control my thermostats. I will no longer be buying any Google products.

Quality and convenience!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the convenience of the Nest Outdoor/Indoor Battery Cam, and it functions well and looks pretty cool too. Because I have other Nest products, and use the Google Home app, install was an absolute breeze. I plugged the camera into a wall socket, scanned the bar code with my phone, and followed the very simple guided instructions through the app. There really is nothing to it, and once you’ve charged it up fully, it’s ready to go…for mo...
