Nest Cam Battery: is 1080p enough?

[@SmartHomeSolver]

Thanks for watching! Don’t forget my new Nest Doorbell Battery video I also just uploaded here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGOcm41njd2gZ9U I talk about the missing 24/7 on their newest doorbell.

[@RayfordRaySiegel]

What do you think or know about the difference in the floodlight kit from Wasserstein, for the Nest battery powered camera, and the floodlight version of this camera that's coming out? I'm curious about which is better.

[@andrewferguson9648]

How long does it take to charge the camera?

[@dustinsea5246]

Maybe it allows for more variety in angles for camera placement on the magnetic mount?

[@petersonfamily6223]

The cord is facing the front so you can adjust the camera. If the cord faced towards the back instead of the front, it would limit the camera adjustments. We love the design and mount.

[@goprocbr]

that weatherproof cable looks like an after thought. I miss the old IQ with the wire hidden under the bracket.

[@thechanacy]

The IQ was thoughtfully designed.

[@AuthenTech]

Haha that power cord design seems like a major glitch in the matrix 🤔

[@peterg8752]

Agreed, and yet, why do I need an outdoor camera that requires me climbing a ladder every time it needs a charge. I feel like I'm missing something.

[@enriquequiroga2824]

prolly that's why neo is coming back lolol

[@errormachine5056]

The wire actually makes sense. I have the camera pointing mostly down and if the wire pointed the other way it wouldn't allow the camera to point down that much. My problem is with the home app compared to the nest app. The nest app is 1000 times better, I wish I could have found the old outdoor camera that worked in the nest app. You can't scrub the timeline like you can with the nest app.

[@F10Joosbi]

Google Home App is not that bad, they constantly update it. I haven’t messed with the Nest App, been enjoying the Home App. Love the Nest Cams and Doorbell. I have 4 Cams along with the doorbell, currently waiting for weatherproof cables to get here. Gonna go 24/7. Activity zones help, along with its face detection that works 95% of the time. Battery would last me around a month, (would have it on the highest sensitivity, max quality, and recording 3 minutes every event. 2 way talking scares people all the time. 😂

[@pletcgm]

Thank you for pointing out the camera can be hardwired outside. I could not find that anywhere on Google's site. These are the best cameras to go with because of the 24/7 audio/video recording capabilities.

For keeping an eye on my house/yard I think 1080p will be fine. TBH these cams really only allow me to relive the incident in question. I get to see that guy steal my bike over and over again.

I purchased two of these cameras. One of them the battery dies 20-30% per day. The worst part is that the nest aware events DOES NOT work. If a car pulls up and it happens to catch it then I see the last few seconds of vehicle driving away. I had two bicycles out front removed right in front of camera and it showed nothing in the events. Spent hours and days with Google and they offered to credit one month subscription of nest aware 😂

[@beebzster4924]

How can you see multiple cameras at once? Google representative said multiple view works only with the old Nest cameras that are wired but clearly you showed it can be done with the newer nest camera. Please help, thank you.

[@EdgePhotoBlog]

That power cord design is literally insane. Why didn’t they design it so it could be plugged in from either direction?! Can imagine kinking the charging cable to push it through a wall is great for the cord either.

[@nomsolo9935]

The power cable acts like a drip line, I think. If it’s plugged in the wrong way, water can follow the cable into the electrical connection. Plug it in the correct (but weird looking) way, and it will behave like a proper drip line, keeping water out of the electrical connection.

[@shadow.banned]

[@EmmanuelHernandez-yz1wy]

This is one of the biggest letdowns for me ever released by Google. I'm a total google Fanboy and have owned Nest Cams from the start. Two things that are absolutely horrendous by this release: 1. The power cord adapter is just out of this world ridiculous. Whoever, designed this needs to be fired ASAP. 2. The cameras do NOT work, I repeat, do NOT work with the Nest App. If you're going to release a piece of hardware thats your own, at least make it backward compatible. With my setup, I stream my cameras through the Nest Web App. Cannot do this anymore and I have to say. I submitted a return because of this. I cannot believe this. I'm seriously considering changing to Ring or another camera manufacturer.

Coming from a Nest Fanboy this feels like a piece of garbage, Nest cam that doesn’t work with the Nest App 🤔. Power cable cable is a joke, my high school son and his engineering club would have come up a far better design Limited features compared to the Nest Outdoor IQ And they call this an upgrade 🤔 Ok ok ok .. is has a battery built-in just in case you have nothing better to do with your life than getting your ladder out to recharge it 😂

Great video as always Reed! For your upcoming review of the floodlight camera, can you cover the different possible mounting positions for it? My house has a floodlight that's mounted on an overhang (so basically upside down). Fine for a basic floodlight, but I can't find anything that shows how that would work for the Nest Floodlight Cam. Thanks!

[@marcberm]

I feel like with well routed wiring (that enters the building at the point where the camera is mounted), you could make the forward-sticking power connector just sort of naturally curve into a small and neat drip loop.

[@PoisonWaffle3]

In that case, you may as well just run a PoE camera.

[@marcberm]

@@PoisonWaffle3 That's definitely the better option, not going to argue that. There were better ways to execute this design, but it is what it is and I think a well placed drip loop could help hide the sin.

[@3742ET]

I think I figured out the wire, it's for If the camera is on an aggressive angle looking down then the cable will still provide a drip point if mounted outside, like if it got rained on. Maybe, I'm not a camera engineer so I'm just guessing

[@StarFloyds]

The charging cord is that way so you can lay the camera lens down when charging and not have to awkwardly balance

[@964mula]

Ok so I have the older Outdoor nest cam with cord and I use the Nest App. I also have Nest aware for 5 days of live recording . This one will require ANOTHER app? Can I combined my old nest camera to the home app along with this one ?

I love how you compared the nest doorbells. Are you going to compare this to the Nest IQ? Do you think this camera is better than the Nest IQ? On paper it seems like a downgrade just like the new doorbell

[@Somives]

Given this is a battery powered camera I don't see why it would be compared to an IQ cam

[@eclecticgentleman]

@@Somives probably because this one is battery and wired capable. A lot of people don't care for battery powered (some do). I think most people want a superior camera over battery / wired.

No anti-theft alarm is embarassing. I know they want you to buy their antitheft lock but still. With a wire that is too short out of the box and no antitheft, they are actually going to make people spend signficantly more money than necessary and when I compare this camera to others, its now up there with some of the most expensive cameras and based on that I think its actually less value than those top performers. Even my Amcrest AI camera is better for cheaper. Pity. But thanks for the short review. One question however, I know you mentioned no cooldown period between recordings but how did you find its ability to pick up subjects such as people or animals both in terms of distance from the camera and any delay which battery cams all seem to have. Was it instantaneous? or are there a few seconds before the camera wakes up to record. Thanks again.

[@mattterry30]

I found out the camera shuts off as soon as it disconnects from the base so no last views of person who ran away with your camera, even if you have NEST aware.

I received my cameras two days ago and already the battery is down to 64%. I didnt have insane events to drain the battery. Because I hardly get events at all. So it supposed to sense cars etc. which I have enabled in the settings to do so but it doesnt. I had few delivery drops off clearly within the range of the cameras view but if you walk in normal speed camera doesnt pick up a movement and doesnt records an event. If you stop for a second while walking than it picks up there as an event. Long story short there are lots of glitches with this product and urgently needs some upgrades.

Confirmed, I took off the security housing and the night vision wash out went away. They didn't even test this?
