About Google Nest Cam Outdoor or Indoor, Battery - 2nd Generation - 1 Pack
Overall Feedback:
86% positive
64% found it weather resistant, while 36% faced issues
The floodlight is built to withstand the elements and provide long-term performance even in challenging weather conditions.
The camera can handle hot and cold weather well.
The camera went dead in just two days despite charging overnight and only two alerts going off outside, in 45-65 degree weather.
Once the temperature hits 32 outside, the cameras shut off and the battery drains.
66% liked the resolution clarity, but 34% didn't
During the day, the camera captures great color, but its clarity in the evening is just okay.
The camera has amazing video quality and a detachable cable, but I can no longer search through my full video history like I could with my last one.
61% were satisfied with the remote accessibility, but 39% weren't
The Home app does not alert me of the outage or is too broken to notify me.
I can access the video only through the Google Home app or Google-authorized home automation devices.
75% appreciated the night vision capability
I was alerted by the camera of a person walking up my driveway in the middle of the night who did not belong on the property, demonstrating the night vision capability of the camera.
Rephrased: The camera demonstrated its night vision capability by alerting me of an intruder walking up my driveway in the middle of the night.
During both day and night, I have crystal clear picture with infrared night vision.
I was alerted by the camera of a person walking up my driveway in the middle of the night who did not belong on the property, demonstrating the night vision capability of the camera.
66% liked the motion detection accuracy, but 34% didn't
The camera has the best feature of detection, where it can detect human, animal, or any motion and send alerts directly to my phone.
I got a great recording of the incident when the camera's motion detection feature accurately detected a person entering the field of motion and scared him off with the lights.
The motion detection is very good and detects whenever someone passes under the camera.
I adjusted the setting to detect only people as more motion sensing activations drain the battery faster.

62% appreciated the integration with other devices, but 38% didn't
The app is slow with live view or replay on every device, regardless of the internet connection.
The camera doesn't record or notify me of any activity unless I am actively looking at the feed. I am unsure if it is because of the device itself or because it only works with Google Home instead of the Nest app.
The camera takes 2 minutes to wake up, connect and show the feed, which is a negative feedback from me regarding its integration with other devices of bullet-surveillance-cameras.
71% found the installation easy, while 29% faced challenges
Installation was easy, but I needed comfort with outside lighting installation.
Installing the product was difficult as it required new wiring and could only be installed vertically on a wall.
