Thanks for watching! Don’t forget my new Nest Doorbell Battery video I also just uploaded here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b29jZ1Xxm1s.html I talk about the missing 24/7 on their newest doorbell.
What do you think or know about the difference in the floodlight kit from Wasserstein, for the Nest battery powered camera, and the floodlight version of this camera that's coming out? I'm curious about which is better.
The cord is facing the front so you can adjust the camera. If the cord faced towards the back instead of the front, it would limit the camera adjustments. We love the design and mount.
The wire actually makes sense. I have the camera pointing mostly down and if the wire pointed the other way it wouldn't allow the camera to point down that much. My problem is with the home app compared to the nest app. The nest app is 1000 times better, I wish I could have found the old outdoor camera that worked in the nest app. You can't scrub the timeline like you can with the nest app.
Google Home App is not that bad, they constantly update it. I haven’t messed with the Nest App, been enjoying the Home App. Love the Nest Cams and Doorbell. I have 4 Cams along with the doorbell, currently waiting for weatherproof cables to get here. Gonna go 24/7. Activity zones help, along with its face detection that works 95% of the time. Battery would last me around a month, (would have it on the highest sensitivity, max quality, and recording 3 minutes every event. 2 way talking scares people all the time. 😂
For keeping an eye on my house/yard I think 1080p will be fine. TBH these cams really only allow me to relive the incident in question. I get to see that guy steal my bike over and over again.
Thank you for pointing out the camera can be hardwired outside. I could not find that anywhere on Google's site. These are the best cameras to go with because of the 24/7 audio/video recording capabilities.
This is one of the biggest letdowns for me ever released by Google. I'm a total google Fanboy and have owned Nest Cams from the start. Two things that are absolutely horrendous by this release: 1. The power cord adapter is just out of this world ridiculous. Whoever, designed this needs to be fired ASAP. 2. The cameras do NOT work, I repeat, do NOT work with the Nest App. If you're going to release a piece of hardware thats your own, at least make it backward compatible. With my setup, I stream my cameras through the Nest Web App. Cannot do this anymore and I have to say. I submitted a return because of this. I cannot believe this. I'm seriously considering changing to Ring or another camera manufacturer.
Coming from a Nest Fanboy this feels like a piece of garbage, Nest cam that doesn’t work with the Nest App 🤔. Power cable cable is a joke, my high school son and his engineering club would have come up a far better design Limited features compared to the Nest Outdoor IQ And they call this an upgrade 🤔 Ok ok ok .. is has a battery built-in just in case you have nothing better to do with your life than getting your ladder out to recharge it 😂
@@mhlovelady i wanted to get a couple of those as well but I won’t anymore unless they make it work with the nest app. The Google home app is already too cluttered
How can you see multiple cameras at once? Google representative said multiple view works only with the old Nest cameras that are wired but clearly you showed it can be done with the newer nest camera. Please help, thank you.
Testing must have proved that it could interfere with some scenarios where the cable could hit something outside the house. Like being too close to an outstanding brick, something like that.
That power cord design is literally insane. Why didn’t they design it so it could be plugged in from either direction?! Can imagine kinking the charging cable to push it through a wall is great for the cord either.
The power cable acts like a drip line, I think. If it’s plugged in the wrong way, water can follow the cable into the electrical connection. Plug it in the correct (but weird looking) way, and it will behave like a proper drip line, keeping water out of the electrical connection.
I purchased two of these cameras. One of them the battery dies 20-30% per day. The worst part is that the nest aware events DOES NOT work. If a car pulls up and it happens to catch it then I see the last few seconds of vehicle driving away. I had two bicycles out front removed right in front of camera and it showed nothing in the events. Spent hours and days with Google and they offered to credit one month subscription of nest aware 😂
Great video as always Reed! For your upcoming review of the floodlight camera, can you cover the different possible mounting positions for it? My house has a floodlight that's mounted on an overhang (so basically upside down). Fine for a basic floodlight, but I can't find anything that shows how that would work for the Nest Floodlight Cam. Thanks!
Question, with the solar panel attachment, will the camera do 24/7 video or will it only do that during sunlight hours? Also, does the theft protection accessory have a cutout for the power cable?
I think we have all been anxiously awaiting these cameras for a while. However, the surprise that is does NOT use the nest app like my other cameras do is something that doesn’t seem to bother people much. Am I missing something?? The thought of my cameras NOT being all in one easy to use app sounds terrible! Please educate me if I am thinking about this the wrong way! Thanks! Have always loved your content by the way!!
I feel like with well routed wiring (that enters the building at the point where the camera is mounted), you could make the forward-sticking power connector just sort of naturally curve into a small and neat drip loop.
@@PoisonWaffle3 That's definitely the better option, not going to argue that. There were better ways to execute this design, but it is what it is and I think a well placed drip loop could help hide the sin.
I think I figured out the wire, it's for If the camera is on an aggressive angle looking down then the cable will still provide a drip point if mounted outside, like if it got rained on. Maybe, I'm not a camera engineer so I'm just guessing
Ok so I have the older Outdoor nest cam with cord and I use the Nest App. I also have Nest aware for 5 days of live recording . This one will require ANOTHER app? Can I combined my old nest camera to the home app along with this one ?
I have a Blink camera set up. I have all google home devices. Would it be worth moving to these cameras to replace the Blink? Maybe do a comparison video of Nest Cam battery Vs Blink.
Wait, does it keep the event recording for 3 hours or do you get 3 hours worth of event recording (i.e. you won't have 3 hours worth of event footage overnight)?
What always freaks me out is the amount of data uploaded by each camera every month.. That's of course if it's on continuous and not event recording.. now imagine having four of those around the house.. same with green cameras. They upload 50 GB per camera..
I love how you compared the nest doorbells. Are you going to compare this to the Nest IQ? Do you think this camera is better than the Nest IQ? On paper it seems like a downgrade just like the new doorbell
@@Somives probably because this one is battery and wired capable. A lot of people don't care for battery powered (some do). I think most people want a superior camera over battery / wired. Not sure if you seen his video he put out today but it was an amazing comparison of both generation Nest doorbells
@@eclecticgentleman I agree with you, and have both battery and wired cams but am working to move more to wired. While this is the only outdoor cam they have currently its a different category than the IQ (which you can't buy anymore). I am hoping they release a more direct replacement of the IQ.
@@Somives I’m kinda in the same boat. Do I love wireless? Sure. But to come at the expense of not getting a much better camera from the older models - nah. Would rather have wired. Give us the better resolution and processing
Just curious as you said in the early part of the video that if someone broke into your car overnight that the video would be gone. I understand that the Google nest keeps your incidents for alot longer than that. So that would mean it would still be viewable right?
Internal battery can not be replaced. I have had my Nest Cam for 2 years. It stopped charging just at about 2 years of age. At that point it is useless. Accessing is designed to be a challenge. Finding a battery even harder. Getting to it, a nightmare. I never purchased a replacement, nor would buy another
Don't forget, if you are running multiple 4K security feeds, your quality will suffer re your bandwith choking through your internet provider. So 1080 is good overall, only go with 4K where you need it.
My understanding is that the angle of the cord was put in that way so you could have the full range of motion to point the camera down on the magnetic base when mounted.
It says that you can record dogs barking but I don’t have that option. When I contacted google they said I need to get the mini also for that added feature. Doesn’t make sense considering it’s an outdoor camera for me.
Time for a new comparison video. Wondering how these compare to the eufycam 2's. With local storage and ai, combined with similar price, im wondering which are better.
Hi, would you be able to show how to stream multiple cameras on the same screen view like at 1:37 ? Can it be done through the home hub? I tried multiple commands and couldn't get it to do that. Thank you in advance!
When I pre-ordered ours no more outdoor power cord is available. I am planning to use the stock charger cord, my power outlet is indoors. Is there a difference with the stock cord and outdoor cord that attached on the camera end?
im sure the angle on the power cable is so that you can aim it more aggressively downwards, like inside a narrow entry way or something. if it stuck straight out the bottom or towards the back, it would really limit the angles you could safely aim the camera
I received my cameras two days ago and already the battery is down to 64%. I didnt have insane events to drain the battery. Because I hardly get events at all. So it supposed to sense cars etc. which I have enabled in the settings to do so but it doesnt. I had few delivery drops off clearly within the range of the cameras view but if you walk in normal speed camera doesnt pick up a movement and doesnt records an event. If you stop for a second while walking than it picks up there as an event. Long story short there are lots of glitches with this product and urgently needs some upgrades.
I finally got into a scenario where charing cord design make sense. WHEN I have the camera nearly parallel to the wall. The angle there can be really small without affecting the charing cable.
No anti-theft alarm is embarassing. I know they want you to buy their antitheft lock but still. With a wire that is too short out of the box and no antitheft, they are actually going to make people spend signficantly more money than necessary and when I compare this camera to others, its now up there with some of the most expensive cameras and based on that I think its actually less value than those top performers. Even my Amcrest AI camera is better for cheaper. Pity. But thanks for the short review. One question however, I know you mentioned no cooldown period between recordings but how did you find its ability to pick up subjects such as people or animals both in terms of distance from the camera and any delay which battery cams all seem to have. Was it instantaneous? or are there a few seconds before the camera wakes up to record. Thanks again.
I found out the camera shuts off as soon as it disconnects from the base so no last views of person who ran away with your camera, even if you have NEST aware.
You're comparing the Reolink 4k to the nest 1080p : it would have been nice to see night time image, Reolink is notoriously bad at night. Stealing a nest cam will not prevent from the event to be uploaded on the cloud. So not a good idea for the thief. I wonder if Google will release a 4k or better in the future.
I don’t know if you know about merkury innovations smart auto-tracking security camera and let me tell you it’s fun that you can control with your phone and it makes people anxious since the camera follows you not fast but good enough
No it's really easy. The doorbell is just a few screws in the wall. The camera is just two screws as well. I mounted it to a plate that I showed in that outdoor security camera video I did recently so I'm not putting holes all over my house.
