Everything the Google Nest Cam (battery) Can Do

[@TechWithBrett]

UPDATE: Battery Lift Oct. 2: unplugged Oct 30: Batter at 90% after 28 days with around 1-2 events per day. It says it will last 90 days. Feb 7th: battery depleted Lasted around 4 months on medium usage.

[@leenash2k9]

Hi Brett, great video. Just a heads up that if you go into the camera settings under Device information and click on Camera Mounts. There is an option to change it to other mounts and what this will do is allow the camera to continue recording when it is removed from the magnetic mount.

[@TechWithBrett]

@@leenash2k9 Great find, thanks for pointing that out.

[@432wheels]

Will be very interested in what the battery life is like

[@Somives]

Ahhh this is really great info. Love you covered the app and settings since that's all new and many of us are coming from the nest app

[@756014]

Another use case: I set up one of these indoors to see my pets when I'm not at home, with around 20 or 30 short events recorded each day the battery only lasts a week.

[@accordxtc319]

I've had two of these cameras since launch and I've been impressed with the cameras but the Google Home app with is awful compared to the Nest app. I have both my Nest Cam Battery units hardwired with the 10M Nest Power Cable. Would recommend to anyone who is looking for a simple solution if you have the Google eco system. Wyze Cam V3 also is another option that is a lot cheaper if cost is an issue.

[@markwalters1584]

I have a Wyze cam V2 I just put in my window and turn off the night vision because of reflection. My driveway is lit up with a street light anyway and it is perfect during the day. So it is hard to justify $190 for the nest cam.

[@79bnice]

I don't understand why Google does not have one dedicated app. Still to the Nest app.

[@phoudi]

@@markwalters1584 You don't have 24/7 CVR (scrollable video history up to 30 days), incredible night vision, 2k/4k video, face detection, package detection, clip creation, time lapse creation, zone creation, smoke alarm and siren sound notifications, dog, glass breaking and child crying detection and notifications, E-911 etc etc. I can type for another 2 minutes but will stop there. Wyze is not in the same stratosphere of smart cameras such as Nest/Google. Wyze is for people who want nothing but slightly ok, semi-grainy video feeds with alerts and local SD card recording. I own every Wyze camera and use them as door stops and cube toys for my kid. Their Microphones are like listening under water or mud. That's what you get for $30.

[@iposttvshows]

I'm considering getting this, but not being able to integrate it with my other nest cams in the nest app is disappointing. Also, what's the point of getting a battery-powered camera and then hardwiring it? Wouldn't it make sense to get the wired one, then it can also work in the nest app?

[@accordxtc319]

@@iposttvshows Nest cams that were wired are discontinued and sold off cheap before the battery model came out. Also the power cord setup on the new camera is way easier to run. The Nest app itself will be shutdown in the near future and everyone will have to use the Google Home app regardless of what Google Nest products they have.

Why would you have an outdoor camera that can be stolen very easily, anyone can grab it without you hearing anything since it’s only attached by magnets

Just installed mine yesterday. Great product. I have a few issues, that I get too many alerts. Especially when I'm out doing things. I don't need to get an alert when it seems me doing things in the yard. Facial learning would be best to use in this instance and NOT give an alert when it seems someone it knows? But the opposite is only possible. Also, how about an alarm feature that if someone steals it off the mount, it sounds an alarm?

I read that if you use the Wasserstein (sp?) mounts, they will replace them if they're stolen.

[@pinnacleheadoffice630]

It seems like an odd choice to offer 3 hours only of events on a security camera. So you go to sleep at 10pm, your house is silently robbed at midnight, you wake up in the morning, and you have zero ability to check your camera for the footage (without having previously purchased an additional monthly subscription). I want to buy Google, but this is a hard pill to swallow.

[@bregonwebb8921]

it's a cloud service... networking isn't free dude

[@ToddColbyBrown]

It is events. The camera does not record all the time. You could have many days of events.

[@The_combat-nurse]

So if there were an event at say 1 am and another at 5 am, you would not know about the event at 1 am..is that correct? Im only concerned with people, not animals or cars

[@probablytheamaziiingtim2915]

Stupid people are the easiest and favorite customers, they’ll give you their money without thinking twice

[@shavenkat]

Correct. It's an odd choice, probably made to force the subscription purchase. The way i justify it is that you do get a slight discount on the yearly sub, and the non subscription individual cams are not quite as good yet in terms of detection. So I'll give them a year or two. Once there's something better I'll swich to that and use this as an indoor cam

I wanted to buy a couple of these for my girlfriends house. Wanted them placed high up to get a good view of the front and rear of her house (she already has the google thermostat and doorbell). Also wanted it hardwired. But I just found out two things that have me wondering. First, google recommends installation about 6’ to 6’-06” from the ground (within reach) and second, it’s only held on by a magnet! Seems super easy just to walk up and steal it. Has anyone had any instances of this happening to them or maybe ways to make it more secure?

I wish it had a way to see 15 seconds forward and back. Sometimes is captures an event but if someone moves fast I do not see the whole event. With the Nest app i can get down to the second on any event. That's why I will not migrate my other camera to Google home.

The cord it comes with is not marked as weather resistant. But if you have a way to cover it, probably it’ll work. The thing is that cord has one USB type A end, so you need to plug it to a power brick or an outlet with USB port, which is much more complicated to make it weather resistant.
