Customer Ratings & Reviews

The main improvements is the wiring no hardline you just need to find a outlet plug within 18 feet It look a lot better then the solar battery combo and I don't have to go and charge it in the winter time. The quality picture is a bit better then the previous gen. Another improvement is that you see more.

The NEST outdoor camera was easy to set up, link to internet and functions very well providing a live view of area. Its ability to detect ‘activity’ in its field of view is mediocre. My other game cameras document animals passing through directly in NEST camera’s field of view but they generally fail to show on the ‘activity’ section.

Installed quickly and easily Came online fast and connected to my home internet easily Sharp picture and sound

[Employee of bestbuy] The Google Nest Cam Outdoor (Wired, 2nd Gen, 2025) is a compelling upgrade that finally brings sharp 2K HDR resolution and a wider 152° field of view to the Nest lineup. Video quality is crisp, capturing distinct details often missed by 1080p predecessors. The standout feature is the deep Gemini AI integration, allowing for highly specific alerts and natural language searches (e.g., "Show me the dog on the patio"). However, the device is wired-only, limiting placement flexibility compared to battery models. Additionally, unlocking the full potential of Gemini AI requires a Google Home Premium subscription. It is an excellent choice for those already invested in the Google ecosystem.

This camera is a great addition to the google nest ecosystem. The video quality is top notch and was extremely simple to install and add to the google home app.

Wow! Awesome cameras that capture everything, have facial recognition, learn as time passes what different movements are from and are very easy to set up. I have two mounted on or Class A motorhome and the magnetic mounts have no issue holding the cameras in place mounted outside the rig. Super crisp video, powerful mic and the ability to talk to whomever is outside.

Camera looks great, connects easily, gives great footage day or night. Finding where they moved whatever feature in this month's version of the app is getting frustrating, but I don't think that's exclusive to Google.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great experience! The camera arrived quickly, was exactly as described, and was well packaged. Setup was straightforward, and the video quality exceeded my expectations. Motion detection and notifications work very well, making it a great addition to my home security system. I would definitely purchase from this seller again. Highly recommended!

Video quality is good, very easy install. Works seamless with app

Having a Google Pixel it made sense to go with Google Home and their cameras. With Gemini available with the cameras and 2k you couldn't ask for a better system. Set up is easy, install, plug it in and follow the app. I give these cameras 10 out of 10!

If you are looking for a true outdoor camera, get the other one. This one is still very nice and has a long cord for plugging in, but once it is unplugged, it turns off. So, when the power goes out, the camera will also turn off. Because of that, I decided to get the Nest camera with a battery instead. Nevertheless, it is still an awesome camera to have.

I’ve been using the Google Nest Cam Outdoor (wired, 2nd gen) for my backyard and it’s been a solid upgrade. The 2K video quality is super clear both during the day and at night, and the wide viewing angle really helps cover more of my yard without needing multiple cameras. Motion detection is reliable and the alerts come through quickly, which gives me peace of mind when I’m not home.

[Employee of bestbuy] Item is very easy to connect, and the quality is great. Small and connects well to the magnetic and can adjust it very easily

Easy set up and the quality of the camera are good so many excellent features for a DIY camera and the quality of the audio is outstanding. Members are much better than my ADT cameras.

Super clear images and easy installation. Replaced a gen 1 and the difference between the two versions is tremendous.

The camera works very good and nice and clear and it easy to install

Certainly an upgrade from the previous Outdoor Nest cam. The field of view is much larger, both taller and wider. Thats a most welcome addition. These are a smaller footprint than the older ones, which is nice. Last model's power cord and mount are not compatible, but a definite plus is the power cable is included here. Which is a savings of having to specifically buy the cable separately like in the past. Highly recommend. The AI feature is gimmicky and highly annoying - you'll disable that in the Home app after the first couple of days.

The cameras are good the style is nice the audio is clearer than other cameras and the video is stunning the app is also great

Camera was easy to install. It provides clear views of my backyard area. Looking at switching all of my cameras from Arlo to Google.

Excellent choice for outside security purposes. Effortless installation, easy setup, and VERY clear viewing.
