Google G3AL9 Nest Cam (Outdoor / Indoor, Battery) Security Camera - Smart Home WiFi Camera - Wireless, Snow, 1 Count (Pack of 1)

Gives you the alert when someone presents and sends notifications to your mobile once set up. You have to detach the camera to charger battery life is pretty good. It was a good buy and worth the purchase. Would recommend if you require security. No matter where you are in the world I can still overlook if my home/car is safe when I travel abroad.

The Google G3AL9 Nest Cam is a versatile, battery-powered security camera for indoor and outdoor use. It delivers sharp 1080p video, reliable motion detection, and easy app integration with Google Home. The wireless design ensures flexible placement, though the subscription for advanced features may add costs. A sleek, smart security solution!

Have had this product for a couple of months and have been on the whole very happy with it. Didn’t want a doorbell as wanted to place a camera discreetly under my porch so went for this. Also chose a Google product as wanted a Connected device that would have long-term software security updates.Setup is extremely easy using the Google Home app through which I can control my Nest thermostat as well. Mounting the camera is really straightforward as well although if your not using it wired you will need to put it higher and as far out of hand reach than you think as it is only attached to the mount base by magnets.I’ve been using the camera on battery only and have been very surprised that I’ve only needed to charge it once (after about 6 weeks).Google use Machine Learning to recognise and identify “familiar faces” that the camera picks up so that you don’t get constant alerts which is impressive and probably a major selling point compared to competitor devices on the market.The camera I would say is fairly useless though without the £5 a month Google Nest Aware subscription that allows you to access events older than 4 hours. Also it didn’t appear to pick up a local fox tearing up rubbish in our driveway so perhaps not great for picking out non-humans! As others have pointed out, the Google Home app allows you to control but not really manage your heating schedule for the Nest thermostat so hopefully all Nest products will be properly integrated into Google Home in the future. Would definitely recommend though.

Updated:Google recommend using a safety loop when mounting at heights above 2m. This isn't supplied, you have to request one. I've done that and 1 week later, they are unable to provide a ship date.Truly awful customer service, Google just don't understand the word satisfaction in the context of customer experience.I purchased this Google Battery Cam to add to my other Nest IQ cams.The setup mandated adding this to Google Home app, not the Nest app. I normally use the Nest app as it has the relevant functionality and I find the Google Home app to be slow, clunky and poorly thought out for Smart Home management. That's why I predominantly use Alexa/Echo devices.To be fair, the spec does state "Requires the Google Home app and a Google Account – not compatible with the Nest app or the home.nest.com site." However, having completed the setup, this highlights that a lot of the Nest app functionality is not readily available in the Google Home app and the mini clips in the Nest app, which are useful for scanning for a specific event, for some reason are not available. In essence it looks a lot like the whole Nest/Google Home thing is still in work with no real focus on customer satisfaction.I haven't deployed this yet so can't comment on Night Vision, Motion Detection and Picture Quality.In summary, if you have Nest Cameras, don't buy Google Battery Cam unless you want to end up using 2 apps and have a frustratingly poor user experience.

TBH, not a lot goes on in my back garden especially in the winter so the camera doesn't often trigger and hence the battery life is pretty awesome it's been up-and-running since a week before Xmas and as of today (7/Feb/24) still has 52% battery left.Night sight is great, you just gotta make sure the IR isn't bouncing off a nearby wall or plant because if it is the picture gets washed out, just takes a bit of trial and error to point it in the direction just right so that doesn't happen.Daytime picture is fab, sound is great outside wall installation was pretty easy need a drill and that's about it.

Does everything it says.Can even recognise familiar faces you can assign names to.Using as a door or porch camera.Downside is that it's not compatible with the Nest App which I prefer to Google Home.Second downside is that the battery has lasted about a month before It needed recharging. Disappointed. The cheap Chinese camera I was using for 5 years had a battery which lasted 6 months!

Love the non wired battery aspect, the high quality visual and video recording alerts.

A very easy method of installing a security camera to your home. No wires to worry about, just screw the bracket to the wall and hey presto the magnetic feature of the camera secures it. I already had the App so I just needed to scan the new camera's QR code and it was instantly added to my Google/Nest App account. The only small down side will be that you need to make sure that the battery isn't allowed to totally drain before recharging.
