Google Nest Cam Battery. I shoulda mentioned that. First time I ever seen it happen, rare for temps to drop this low in Colorado.

I did notice that the nest cam with battery went dead really quickly too. Usually its 2 months, barely a month and it wanted recharging.

I bought a Google Nest Cam (battery edition) for my unit and it works super well. The battery lasts three months and it adds an extra layer of proof

It's a Google nest battery camera. Quality is good, but it has some gotcha's.

Get the google nest cam (battery). A cinch to setup, the battery lasts a few months between charges, and they will record any activity/movement and send your phone a notification.

I purchased 4 Nest Cam Battery cameras in 2021 and have regretted the purchase.

It ended up being my Google Nest Cam Battery model. I had done multiple reboots, then remove from the network and factory resets of the camera. It just would not stop grabbing the same IP

I prefer the Google nest cam battery version but hook it up to a power cord, so that when the power stops working for some reason but the internet is still on then it'll still be operational

I purchased the new doorbell and outdoor and have returned both for a refund.

The most reliable and consistent has been the Google Nest Cam battery. Having 24/7 recording has been amazing.

I used the battery for only a couple of days up at the front of the house and the steady stream of people and cars was draining the battery.

My Google nest battery cams miss about 50% of the events I'd expect them to record. I'm looking to return them and go with a different security camera.

This actually replaced a Google Nest Cam Battery. The two cameras aren’t even in the same league and would be difficult to compare.

I've been extremely happy with my (5) Google Nest cams. The latest models run on battery

Why has the quality of the night images of the Google nest cam battery deteriorated so much? A few months ago it was much better.

Reddit▲ recommend

Yep! I have to charge it every 3 - 5 months depending on the weather.

I really like the Nest Cam Battery, though.

The battery on their cam doesn’t last very long. Maybe 2-3 weeks.
