- Model Number: NC4100US
- Product Name: Nest Cam IQ Outdoor Security Camera
- Color: White
- Camera
- Camera Resolution: 1080 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to capture video/images. The higher the resolution the finer the detail that can be seen.)
- Field Of View: 130 degrees (The area of a target, measured as an angle from the location of viewing, that can be observed.)
- Night Vision: true
- Night Vision Distance: 20 feet
- Number Of Cameras Included: 1
- Frame Rate: 30 frames per second (The frequency at which consecutive images can be captured. The higher the frame rate, the more detail that can be captured.)
- Day/Night Mode: true (Captures images/video with optimal clarity by automatically adjusting settings to various light levels.)
- IP Camera: true (An Internet Protocol (IP) camera is able to record and display image/video data via the internet, without need for a local recording device.)
- Number of IR LEDs: 1 (Quantity of infrared (IR) LED lights for emitting IR light and allowing the camera to detect objects in low light.)
- Camera Iris: Automatic (The iris is the opening on a camera that controls how much light reaches its image sensor, which in turn affects image/video clarity. Fixed and manual irises are generally suited for locations with consistent levels of light. Automatic and "P" (precise) irises automatically adjust in response to changing levels of light and are suited for a wider variety of environments. "P" irises feature additional capabilities for improving footage clarity.)
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)

- Connectivity
- Camera Connectivity: Wireless (Security system cameras can be set up in several ways. Wired cameras require cables for power and footage transmission, while wire-free cameras don't need cables for either. Wireless cameras still require cables for receiving power but are able to transmit footage via a wireless network.)

Mighty. Smart.
Nest Cam IQ is a seriously sharp outdoor security camera. It has brains to tell you when it sees a person and Supersight to show you an extra clear close-up tracking shot of who's there. It can even recognize familiar faces with Nest Aware.
- Person alerts: Smart enough to tell a person from a thing, then alert you.
- Supersight: A 4K sensor, 12x digital zoom and enhance, and High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging offer extra-clear video, even when zoomed in. Nest Cam IQ can even automatically zoom in and track intruders.
- HD Talk and Listen: So unwelcome visitors will hear you loud and clear.
- 24/7 live streaming: See a 130° view in 1080p HD, day or night.
- 3-hour snapshot history: Review what happened in the Nest app, even if you missed an alert.

A: Ditto. Best Buy??
A: Bob, the camera can be moved with some firm hand force; there is no included method of securing the position. It cannot be knocked off of the mount as the previous Nest outdoor camera. I needed two hands to rotate and pan the camera to get the desired angle. That should deter easy movement.
A: its not a problem to run it through the wall its low voltage. my nest cam is mounted outside then the wire goes into the soffit to the outlet in side
A: I’d tryout a test run in the area you trying to install. Before doing a finalized drilling and hardwire set up of my cameras, I did test runs with and extension cord and simply temporarily tapping them or positioning them in a few areas I thought of positioning them. I opened up the app in accordance with my test runs at night with my existing lights and found what looked best with image quality and live feed. Placement too close to the actual light may cause some extra unneeded over glow from the light so just play around with it till you find an area that you’re comfortable with. This for me is now my fourth camera company I’ve tried and Nest products are far superior than the others on the market so you’re certainly not wasting your time or money.
A: Yes, only monitoring is supported. Recording requires a subscription.
A: The camera itself does not support POE directly. Reading up on the hardware specs on the Nest site, this camera uses a USB-C cable to get power from the wall adapter to the camera. Currently one company I've found is working on a POE to USB-C converter with power on delivery that they claim will work for these cameras (and others devices that require USB-C power). You can find more info on this by checking out the blog for PoE Texas (or google POE-USBC-Kit). These have not been released yet at the time I'm posting this. I have POE lines run to my current cameras, so I will be giving this a try whenever these cameras & POE converters get released.
A: They were originally supposed to be available in mid-January, but I contacted Nest and was told they would available again about a month from now (end of February 2018).
Q: Looking for recommendations for the best wireless outdoor camera? Need at the least 2 of them.
A: Yes the Nest IQ is one of the best home security cameras. It has a better resolution in picture quality, and for the phone app, This cameras follows and automatically zooms in on a individual walking on your property , like front walk way. I have one IQ camera for my front door , but just recently replace my garage nest cam with the IQ model. Well worth it. Always remember, Buy the Geek squad protection for your equipment , for free upgrades within 2 years.
