Nest Cam (Battery) review: The Googliest

delayed motion sometimes

I just permanently plug-in my battery operated camera. But don't show live action.

Zumoto is cheaper. And they have cloud coverage free. Nest is criminal they only want your money

Is nest cameras are terrible. They lag so much and when you try to connect you just get spin spin spend and the criminal already robbed. You split rob ju nest cameras suck

Why did Google downgrade the hardware? The older outdoor iq was IP66. The new one IP54? Not to mention it was actually a unit that you did not need to buy a security accessory so someone doesn't nust reach out and take jt since its not actually attached. I dont think google cares to carry the Nest legacy, nor cares about their customers. What a shame. Changing over to lorex once mine go out of commission.

How do I turn off the white light at night and just use the infrared light at night? the google doorbell doesn't have a big bright white light at night and I like that.

Its crap. Constantly disconnects and you have to set it up with the app a lot. Spend your money elsewhere. Have had this for 2 years and have regretted buying it.

I do not recommend Nest or Google. I have had 2 cameras for years and now you can’t even talk to a customer service person now when have a problem. I will most likely drop Google / Nest when my period expires. Will never buy another Google product. They do not care about any customer at all. Just want your money. Done…

You took off one word is that really convenience

Why are Nest products getting worst?

Nest Iq is far superior compared to this camera. Boooooo to you Google for discontinuing it 😡

how can i schedule turn off and turn on the cam ?

Can’t the criminal steal the camera on a magnet????

You didn't talk about the night vision or audio

Magnet mounting for an outdoor camera? Who was the Einstein thay came up with this idea. 🤔
Be cheaper to tack a $100 bill to the wall.

I still have their older 1 thats wired why would ppl pay more to buy the wire separately lol foh

How are you going to make a camera that’s not waterproof so stupid

I think it being magnet mounted seems problematic. Someone can literally take it.

My friend. Check your own file. WTF. Do I have to say it twice.... Then check if you're streamed on freaking MSNBC.

so any one can pluck it right off and walk away ??

Can anybody walk away with the camera

It’s a ourdoor camera and she’s comparing it to an indoor camera. 2 seconds in and bad review

Camera footage,,,,,,,,???

no sample video? terrible review

Worst review ever

Hey nice video, I am planning to mount the nest cam in the elevator in my home.. since it is wireless and would not require complicated wiring within the lift, but not sure if the vibrations can make it fall since it is magnet mounted. What do u think ? Also what about the battery, would it require frequent charging and how long does one charge last practically.

I have (had) wyze cam with the subscription. It sucks! I had 3 wireless cams at home and 2 at my shop. The problem is that the cool down between recordings was way too long and would either record after things occured. Or would be activated towards the very end. I was once robbed at my shop and it didn't even record NOTHING!! but would record shadows caused by on passing cars! WTH? Mind you I have the wired cams at the shop, the wireless ones are even worse. The batteries die within 2 weeks on DEFAULT mode (I have 3 cams) and again they are triggered by the most random things but won't trigger if a person is walking pass your house; plus the wifi range is HORRIBLE. If I change the default cool down settings, the batteries will die in a week. I'm looking into Google nest only because I hear their service is more refined. My question is, the video stated it erases video 3 hours old? What if something happens at 2am? By the time you wake up the video was deleted? That doesn't sound right.

Anyone have issues with theirs going offline for a second? I don't think vie ever missed an event, but sometimes I get a notification its offline. I have a Wi-Fi extender..

She definitely hated that camera. Lol

terrible review with an attitude at the end. don't even show actual footage of it. anyone can read spec sheets

Imagine charging a subscription for accessing video feed that is needed for a break in and/or crime…

Hey you want the video feed from 5 days ago where your wife was killed???…

Gotta pay for google plus lmao

Had my nest cam for about 4 weeks and already it won't hold a charge long maybe 12 hours at the most. What's going on??

These cameras are trash, and the customer service support is nonexistent.

This "review" sucks.

"That did not end well", too funny...

snoh

I wish the older cameras could still be available for purchase. I bought the Nest IQ many years ago, it's been up on my house ever since I purchased it. Never once did I ever have any issue with it nor did I ever have to touch it for any reason, it's a workhorse. It gets rained on and beat up by the Arizona heat year after year and yet it performs like it did on day one. Been meaning to buy a few more to cover the back of the house too but now that they moved on to these cheaper magnetic cameras, I'm starting to hesitate in my purchase. They don't appeal to me like the IQ's did

Wyze is not bad at all,I use to have one but one day just randomly stopped working it would turn on but that was about it but not bad quality honestly and for 6$ monthly can't beat that can also watch from anywhere and speak into the camera

I love the shuttle burn to your producer.

3 HOURS? My Amazon Cloud cam saves 30 DAYS.

I have had 5 cameras for 2 years
They are know good
I’m looking to change all the cameras soon

But can it be used indoors and outdoors?

I've had The Nest Cam Battery for a few months now and it is one of the worst Google products ever as it is so inconsistent and it's absolutely horrific that you have to use the crappy Google Home App. These new Nest cameras are nowhere near as good as the older Nest cameras. Now having video clips is practically useless, but when you add power and go to 24/7 video recording then these new Nest cams are useful.

Meh, the 3 hour free playback is a joke. If you're asleep and something happens, it is deleted by the time you wake up.
Google corners you into forcing to buying a subscription.
The anti-theft wall mounts are sold separately, and the outdoor wires are also sold separately...

What distance will it begin to activate?

This is a step back

Not available on the nest app. This is a deal breaker for me. I will change to a different system before I would use these.

I like the looks of this camera and some of the free features, but nickel and diming you to death for this or that is crazy and typical of greedy corporations. Since it is Google, I would be concerned about Google spying on the camera like Amazon, and Microsoft was caught doing some time ago.
