Just wanted to bring this issue up once again. Unfortunately I didn’t realize Google would do something as stupid (and actually quite sketchy) as releasing a new camera that doesn’t work AT ALL with the Nest app that I use.
I pay a yearly subscription for 4 other cameras for security purposes, and now I have one new one that won’t be compatible with them? Is this a joke, or a total ripoff? What exactly is the point of having a Nest app if your newest cameras won’t work with it? And why am I paying for this yearly service if it doesn’t work?
I think I will return this new camera and possibly find a better alternative to this for my home monitoring needs.
Also, the entire “battery” idea is completely stupid. The last generation came with a power cable that works perfectly and was plenty long to mount it anywhere useful. Now you get a rechargeable camera (yes, as if anyone wants a security camera that they need to recharge every few hours/days??? In actuality this is just another company forcing people to buy an extra “outdoor” power cable for an additional $40. Sorry, but I think I’m getting off this ripoff train now.
