- Night Vision: true
- Night Vision Image: Black and white
- 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: 8 (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.)

Meet the Nest Cam Outdoor security camera. It stands watch 24/7, rain or shine. Plugs into power so you never have to worry about dead batteries. And sends an alert to your phone when it detects activity. It even lets you talk back through the Nest app. This is what an outdoor security camera should be.
- Nest Aware subscription optional.: Add a Nest Aware subscription. Starting at $6 a month for all your Nest cameras, speakers, and displays. Nest Aware gives you more video history and alerts that matter.
- Plug-in-and-go security.: Your security camera shouldn’t sleep on the job. Nest Cam Outdoor plugs into power so you never worry about dead batteries.
- Capture everything in HD.: Vivid 1080p resolution allows you to see small details on your screen.
- Weatherproof design.: Allows versatile indoor/outdoor monitoring with included 25FT power cord.
- Shows you the whole scene.: 130° wide angle view to show you the most possible. With 1080p HD and 8x zoom, you can see every detail.
- Simple installation.: Just plug in the cable and adapter, mount the camera and go.
- Alerts you when something happens.: Nest Cam looks for motion and listens for conspicuous sounds. If Nest Cam thinks something’s up, it’ll send a phone alert or an email with a key image from the event. If you miss an alert, you can see photos of activity from the last three hours in the Nest app.
- Night vision lets you see in the dark.: Keep an eye on things when there's little to no light.
- 2-way communication.: Built-in microphone and speaker let you hear what happens around the camera and talk back through your phone, no matter where you are.

Product Manuals
Q: How is this product powered, what is needed to wire it in?
A: Hello, So the nest outdoor camera is powered by plugging into an outlet. It comes with a basic cord where you plug one end into the camera, and plug the other end into an outlet. Thankfully, it also comes with an extension cord that increases the length of the wire if your outlet is far away. It also comes with wall clips so that your wire does not hang loosely. There is nothing else needed to wire it in. All you need is an outlet, the wire, the wall clips, an IOS or android device, and a good internet connection. Let me know if this helped!
A: Correct. Without a subscription you get real-time alerts, live-video feed and two-way communication but no historical recording.
Q: If the cameras need to be plugged into an outlet, then the thief can just unplug it right?
A: That is correct, they can be unplugged. We drilled a two holes into our garage, one for the front of the garage and one for the front entry of the house, ran the cords into the garage to plug them in on the inside, then sealed the holes around the cord.
A: I have several Nest Outdoor cameras. They are excellent, however, I don't believe that it will detect very small objects like a golf ball. My cameras detect small animals like skunks, cats and so on, but I don't think it would catch something that small. But you have to remember that the camera is always on and you can search the archive video to see if you see anything. I rolled a golf ball for you on my back patio to see if it will detect it. The camera did not notify me of any movement, but I was still able to see it on the playback. Hope this helps. Good Luck.
A: I have two of these at home and one at my shop. As long as you do the setup under the same nest account you will see all three cameras on the nest app simultaneously. The wifi network doesn't matter. It's awesome I love it.
Q: If the system is wireless, why do you need power source?
A: Yes, it needs power. The only 2 outdoor camera's Best Buy carries that's truly wireless is the Ring system, and the Arlo.
A: it can be watched from any portable device (tablet, cell phone, laptop, etc.) there's nothing special to it.
A: It depends on your internet speed coming to the house, the router you have, and how strong the signal is to the cameras. If you have an N-Router, probably 1 or 2 at most if currently you have less than 6 devices on the router. If you have an AC1900 Router, you could probably connect up to 10 Cameras. If you have a weak signal to where the cameras are going to be, you are going to have a hard to loading the camera, and when it detects motion, it's going to take longer to notify you, and longer for it to actually start recording. It might record in 720 or lower video quality if it's a slow connection. I would download a speedtest app on your phone. Go by the place where you would want to install the camera, and run a speed test, you should have atleast 10 - 20Mbps download, and a minimum of 2Mbps upload. (Ideally 10Mbps, but the higher than upload, the better).
