@robertortiz8048 2 года назад

I was watching your nest camera review and very impressed with the camera that I even purchased the whole system. From a security standpoint with this camera, what are the optimal settings for true surveillance? As an example, what should the recording event timer be and settings for cars and such indoor versus outdoor? I am using the system as a wired system. As always, you present your systems and reviews as a professional which is what I am interested in and impressed with. Keep up the great work.

@GeorgeLangabeer 2 года назад

Thank you for that. Very much appreciated. For the most part, I stick with the defaults & they work just fine. I set the cameras to people only & the doorbells to people & packages. I steer clear of the vehicles option unless the person has a secluded property & passing vehicles won’t flood them with alerts.

Does the new Nest Cam Outdoor (Battery) work in the cold, while plugged in? Or does that cold issue also affect the hardwired camera too?

The cold weather issue is more prone to happen when the camera is on battery power, but it has been reported to happen on rare occasion while plugged in also.

Yes, that’s how it is currently, but eventually the Nest App will go away and all your cameras will be in the Google Home App. I’m not sure when that will happen, but it will happen.

@njmtbiker 2 года назад

Th is for this video. Been looking for some WiFi cameras and doorbell for our home. Few of my coworkers have the OG outdoor cams and Nest app and says to look for them since being discontinued but your video helps a lot. I’m starting fresh so not having used the Nest app before I see it this way that I’m not missing anything using Google Home app. How long of an event will the camera record when wired and having nest aware? Can you broadcast footage onto our TV?

@GeorgeLangabeer 2 года назад

Thanks for watching! If you wire the camera & pay for the $12 tier of Nest Aware, you get the full event because it records 24/7. Currently these do cameras are NOT working with Chromecast. I’m hoping Google is working on it. They are viewable on The Nest Hubs however.

@roba168 2 года назад

Do I have to wire it or can I just put an outlet on the other side of the wall and plug it in? Will I still get the continuous recording

@GeorgeLangabeer 2 года назад

I’m guessing you’re talking about the new Doorbell? If so, you can plug it in on the other side of the wall with the proper power supply’s far as 24/7 recording, the doorbell is not capable of that, no matter how it’s powered.

@Levite805 2 года назад

How does it perform in battery mode (not plugged in)? Are the events captured correctly (not skipped or cut-off)?

@GeorgeLangabeer 2 года назад

It’s not perfect, but no worse than any other battery camera. I didn’t have any events skipped, but some were cutoff. I found that it was fine for any event straight out from the camera, but the cutoffs happened when the events were slightly to the side of the camera. But again, that’s pretty typical for a battery camera.

Great Job with the honest review. It seems crazy that you cannot view it from your PC. I currently have Nest Doorbell and inside IQ. Waiting for the Nest Cam with Floodlight. Any initial thoughts about those and putting them on each side of the house? Has there been talk of security monitoring services? Is there any connection between Google One and Aware?

@GeorgeLangabeer 2 года назад

Thank you & thanks for watching! Yeah, it sucks they did away with the PC viewing. The floodlights were just released a day or two ago & I haven’t got my hands on mine to test yet. No connection between Google One & Nest Aware. They had security monitoring services, but they discontinued the Nest Secure system. Unknown at this point if they will ever replace it.

@GeorgeLangabeer 2 года назад

The original indoor camera was ok, but I’m not a fan of the original outdoor camera. I didn’t like the cord/power situation & that magnet mount sucks. The new camera is definitely an improvement compared to that one (especially the mount).

Google is offering the 16 ft. Cords and 33 ft. Cords and they are actually made by Google. But yes, they are pretty much sold out everywhere already. As a professional installer, I’m thrilled they are giving us the length options.

@marksalinas5905 2 года назад

It's me again, hope I'm not bothering you. You've been great answering all my question and I have one more. You mention that the camera connects to other cameras. In your case, you installed the doorbell first and then the Nest camera (battery) connects to the doorbell. So it doesn't connect to the wifi directly? I bought 5 Battery cameras and one floodlight camera (I'm still waiting for them to be delivered. I was planning to connect the floodlight camera first and then mount that close to where I have my WIFI modem. I would then mount the additional cameras around the building. Will all the other cameras connect to the floodlight or will they connect directly to the WIFI modem? Also, I saw another youtube video where the guy said the cameras communicate with each other. Is that true? What sort of communication is going on? I've googled this and couldn't find anything. Sorry for all the question, and thanks again. you've been a lot of help.

@GeorgeLangabeer 2 года назад

They all form their own ‘network’ & connect to each other almost like a mesh system. That’s as far as the ‘communication’ goes. You’ll want to set up all the cameras you can inside near your router first. The floodlight should be last.

Thanks so much for your review! I just subbed to your channel 😁. I have the old nest doorbell and thermostat which I’m happy with. So I was thinking to just stick with Google for my cameras as well. I need to get outdoor cameras, and I am trying to do some research but I’m so confused on what brand to go with. I’m also not a tech person at all. Lol. Would you recommend these new Google cams over Arlo? It seems like many cameras are now battery powered. So I would have to physically take down each outdoor camera and charge it every couple of months? Seems like a pain. Years ago at my old house I had Swann but I hated the interface on the App (horrible!), and all the drilling/wires that came along with the installation. But I guess this is where you avoid all of that with the battery option. Also, that anti-theft device is always sold out on Google’s website. Another reason I held off on ordering the cameras. Plus I was waiting for youth review. :) Interested in hearing your overall recommendations if your don’t mind. Sorry for the long post! Just trying to figure out which cameras to end up buying.

@GeorgeLangabeer 2 года назад

Well first off, thanks for watching & subscribing! I would %100 recommend Nest over Arlo. As far as the battery option, if you watch this video I talk about the weatherproof cables you can buy to give them constant power.

The home app just pales in comparison to the Nest app interface, but more importantly the ability to use it on a home PC. There is no google home web interface for the PC like the Nest home has. That has been critical in my past use of the Nest cameras, especially when I had to review footage for the police. I could sit at my PC and analyze the 24/7 video data looking for specific events, even if the camera did not record a motion event. It has been an incredible turn off for me for all the new Nest equipment, and it seems like google really butchered the brand.

I don’t know about “butchered the brand” lol, but I do agree with you. I miss the PC/Mac interface & with the new cameras & I miss the Chromecast functionality. But these cameras are brand new & Google has already come a long way with the Google Home App (as far as cameras go). So I’m not giving up hope just yet.

@robsp32 2 года назад

@@GeorgeLangabeer I don't feel like the hardware has improved that much over the originals to justify what was taken from them TBH. Far as I can tell, none of the new offerings have 4K video like the Nest IQ Outdoor did, correct?

@GeorgeLangabeer 2 года назад

Correct. But the IQ was also $399. These are $179. So something had to give to compete with competitors.

@@drinkwater9891 if it meets your needs that's all that matters. For the rest of us that's been on nest this is a let down. Especially when you compare it to other cameras that are on the market now. Hopefully they will release a pro grade soon

@eclecticgentleman 2 года назад

@@drinkwater9891 I wouldn't mind a battery powered that could record 24/7 because motion detect doesn't always pick up things in the background. 3 hours is useless and a joke. If someone breaks in and robs you in the morning to lunch time by the time you get home you're screwed. I do love the flat rate of $12 for my current 10 cameras and 3 max screens with cameras. Nothing gives you peace of mind knowing you and your property is safe no matter what option you go with

@chaosorder1208 2 года назад

I agree. I just returned mine. Cam goes into sleep mode when you go to Google Home app and you have to awaken it. Battery life was shorter than expected before the 5 hour recharge. Nightvision clarity beyond 15-20 feet was not that good. I can no longer use NEST app. I no longer am able to view on my Mac or Macbook.

@rand4237 2 года назад

The original were better and the iq were worth the price for me. They went backwards with these and not being compatible with the app is a deal breaker for me.

Google camera Battery sucks... I have old nest camera working with original Nest App, and this camera won't work with Nest Application, Google Home App is cluttered and it sucks. I returned the Nest Battery Cam, I don't recommend it... Google starting to suck

@osmantaviloglu9855 2 года назад

I received mine two days ago and it doesnt work at all. Unless I stop walking it wont recognize there is a human. Not once picked a vehicle up. Even though I maximized camera sensivity. After two days batter is down to 64% crazy...... Google seems like didnt perform real life tests and rushed to release a product.

@GeorgeLangabeer 2 года назад

That sucks. Sorry to hear that. What kind of conditions are we talking about? How high are they installed? Do you have them plugged in? I’ve had great success with mine so far.

@@GeorgeLangabeer Day and night no difference. Since its been summer and no cast. It is bright day light. I am not a newbie when it comes to tech stuff so I triple checked the settings etc. wanted to be certain I did not miss anything. Sometimes people complain about a product and clearly it is a user failure. I tried my best to avoid that from happening. I installed the cameras about 9-10 feet high. I do not have them plugged in and they are outside close to my nest wifi router and no delays on the live view and barely any when I speak via the microphone. For example yesterday in two different occasions I had an amazon and fed-ex deliveries. None of those were picked up.

@GeorgeLangabeer 2 года назад

Yeah, at 9-10 feet you should be fine (especially if you have the internet speed/coverage in that spot). That’s a total bummer. I did notice when I was on battery power, that I had to be pretty straight on for it to pick me up as a person. The detection definitely wasn’t the full 130 degrees. It seemed I had better detection on the doorbell than the camera.

@@GeorgeLangabeer Those can be addressed with a software upgrade so I am not going to return the product. But as of right now out of the box they are terrible :) The image quality seems to be great.

@SellarsJared 2 года назад

I heard nothing about how they only send the cameras with one short power cable so you over and over talking about having them wired doesn't work without more money out of pocket. Also Google home app has no way of control Nest alarm system and no easy way of putting your home in away mode like in the Nest app so that notification can be easily disabled when at home and when not at home. Mainly because the "detect" away doesn't work half the time. system goes into away mode when I am at home.

@GeorgeLangabeer 2 года назад

1. If you watch the video, I did mention the cables and the price of those cables. So yes, there is a cost to wire the cameras, but it’s well worth the $40. 2. That is true about the Nest alarm system, but Google has discontinued that system and that is why it is not in the Google Home App. 3. The Google Home App does have an easy way to switch from Home/Away. It’s on your Home Screen at the top of the screen. You just press the home/away icon. It’s just as easy as the Nest App. Not sure why you’re having a problem with the “Presence Sensing” feature, I’ve never has a problem with it.

@user-jt3vr8ln1c 2 года назад

I ordered this and my excitement quickly abated. The entire purpose of this purchase was the smart alerts; facial recognition w/ people, animals and vehicles. After installing it I realized that push alerts were not coming in. After googling it, it seems it has a "cool down period," where if you receive an alert you will not receive another one for 10 mins/ whatever time it needs to cool down. I haven't received an alert for 20 mins walking by the camera. Useless!!! Will be returning.

@GeorgeLangabeer 2 года назад

Weird. We’ve installed a ton of these for our customers & I’ve never experienced that issue. I also have them at my shop & my alerts come in just fine.

@user-jt3vr8ln1c 2 года назад

@@GeorgeLangabeer Yes unfortunately I am seeing the same issue reported in Bestbuy's Q&A, as well as reddit etc. On the bright side, I just noticed Ring added a smart alert feature that alerts you for motion only when a person is detected, much better than before. Will test that out now.

@user-jt3vr8ln1c 2 года назад

So even the ring's smart alert for people doesn't work that well when detecting people, getting a lot of false alerts, I will turn down sensitivity. Does anybody have a well working system in 2022?!
