What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the camera for excellent video clarity in day and night conditions, effortless setup, and strong magnetic mounting that works indoors and outdoors.

However, a significant group expresses frustration with app compatibility issues and the transition away from legacy systems, feeling misled by the change.

Would Not RecommendThese are a bear to setup and I work in IT. Also, the cameras don't appear in the Nest app like the previous bullet type cameras did.

Battery Camera is misleading product
Would Not RecommendWould it be a lot simpler to have the new cameras appear in the NEST APP until such time that the HOME APP is improved? And to be honest we all know that is a minimum of 6+ months and even then not all the functions will get migrated. I'm just going on the Google's track record here. 1 step forward 4 steps back seems to be their way. This is so disrespectful to the current customer base. These new cams are so different because of the Google HOME app that they should have never had the NEST n...

Google Needs to Step it Up
Would Not RecommendThe first camera sets up with no problems. The second camera will NOT connect. I have been in contact with Google, they know about this issue and still haven't corrected it. You have to set the second camera up under a second Home. The cameras work great but this is a major waste of time. It's lazy that google hasn't corrected this. I only bought these because Nest was a great product until google took over. I won't buy any more google products.
