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. Many highlight reliable motion detection, accurate alerts, and impressive battery life lasting weeks or months. However, a significant group expresses frustration with app compatibility issues and the transition away from legacy systems, feeling misled by the change. Some report inconsistent recording behavior and false alerts. Despite these concerns, most customers find the hardware performance and ease of installation worthwhile.

Google Support is done.
Would Not RecommendI wish the store was not selling something that no longer has software support. Google bought this from 'Nest' just to be nice and it sort of works and is going out of business. I didnt know until I ripped it open, installed it and they take an hour of painstaking trial to connect.
Fraudulent Purchase
It's not the product...this item was purchased fraudulently with my credit card and Lowe's allowed someone to pick it up from a locker without showing any identification

camera unavailable
Would Not Recommendthis camera worked out of the package, but had declined over a short amount of time. good picture compared to other cheaper cameras, but it doesn't function. like three reviews say, you are limited to three hours of past video without a subscription. however, you can hardly ever get the camera to connect to anything, so it's really just an expensive magnet of frustration. you will really wish you could get the camera to tell you what it sees, but after a month of use, I almost never get a pictu...

Hi there, Mike. Thanks for your feedback on Nest Cam (battery). It’s unfortunate to hear that your experience with the connectivity is less than idea...
Not worth the cost
Would Not RecommendThe cameras work ok. However, they're much cheaper deals on cameras! Plus, you'll need Nest Aware if you want the camera to function properly, and they just raised the cost of Nest Aware by $20 in one year to $80 + tax! Do yourself a favor and look for cameras with self-contained memory. (e.g. Sd-card) Also, these are battery-operated... what happens when the battery goes bad as all batteries do? You'll have to purchase new cameras! You would think that Google/Nest would provide you with power ...

After 1 year, Read before buying
Would Not RecommendRead Before Buying -Extreme temperatures impacts battery life significantly (cold or heat) causing camera to die sooner. -Wifi- you need an internet amplifier, and even then the camera can go offline and not come back on -Must pay subscription for it to be valuable, you won’t be able to see earlier activity from earlier in the day -Google nest app seems to crash frequently, which leaves you helpless when you’re trying to load anything I’m thoroughly disappointed, we purchased this to up our secu...

camera won’t trigger and record events
Would Not RecommendWe just added this battery powered camera to our subscription… great picture quality etc. But it will only trigger and record events within an hour or so after we open the app and view a live feed. Those few events are recorded and and saved consistently as do the other 7 cameras in my subscription. But after an hour or so, the camera turns off completely and is only revived again by opening the app and triggering a live view. I am sure that somehow the camera is still operating under the “fre...
