Customer Ratings & Reviews

Needed a camera that was compatabile with the 5Ghz of our new Starlink internet and the Nest is compatable! It was very easy to set up, took just a few minutes; in part because I already have google home set up with a Google Mini in my kitchen. The app is easy to use, and the camera has sollid features that work great. Night vision is impressive, range is impressive. Very happy with this so far. I did buy the power adapter just for added comfort that I don't need to worry about the batter life. The redudancy was a personal choice and prohibits me from commenting on the battery life. Glad the option is available, nice perk.

The cameras are good! Good quality, but unfortunately battery only lasts about 2.5 weeks with the camera being in the front of our house. Id recommend a wired version if you plan on putting it in a high traffic area. Otherwise theyre good!

Love our Google cameras much more than the previous Arlo cameras that we had. Cameras are clear and work well with our Google home app and interior display. Price of the cameras along with the solar panels is quite high but worth every penny.

Love nest cameras, but this cordless will require being plugged in for full recorded history, wasn’t aware of that, now will need a cord. Also, the old nest app is going away, so need to use both apps, google home and nest. Need to figure out how to combine into one, so far haven’t figured it out yet, have older cameras. Otherwise it works fine.

Very difficult to connect and activate for on-line camera viewing. Too complicated . Cameras are excellent !

I would still recommend these cameras although after three years of southern florida sunlight the wires have dried out. I started having intermittent drop out from this camera. Upon observation I found the rubber sheathing dried and missing and the cable exposed. But until that issue the cameras were better than the competitors in my opinion.

Setup was easy and quick to integrate with then Google home app. I will not give a 5 because the Nest App will not support them and google has not yet integrated the two together to make it seamless. The cameras are top notch though and come with everything you need in the box.

Easy to install, very clear, and easy to setup. I can add names to people that are seen on cameras. The best investment i made got my home and family.

Easy setup and integration into the home app. Like the easy installation on my house. Battery life varies depending on the event settings. the camera in my backyard I have only charged once a month the one over my front yard looking towards the road is every 2 weeks. I am happy with that. GOod picture quality

The Google Outdoor Camera offers reliable surveillance with crisp video quality. Its weather-resistant design ensures durability, while seamless integration with Google ecosystem enhances user experience. The intuitive app allows easy remote monitoring, and features like motion detection and two-way audio add to its functionality. However, a slightly higher price point might deter budget-conscious consumers. Overall, a solid choice for those invested in the Google ecosystem seeking a dependable outdoor security solution.

The Google Nest Cam is an absolute game-changer for home security! Its sleek design seamlessly blends into my living space while delivering impeccable video quality. The ease of setup and integration into the Google ecosystem is impressive. I love the mobile app, which allows me to check in on my home from anywhere. The two-way audio feature adds an extra layer of convenience and security. Whether it's monitoring my pets or keeping an eye on my front door, the Nest Cam provides peace of mind. The price is reasonable for the value it offers, making it a top-tier choice for anyone prioritizing home security.

Pros - - Easy to setup - Works out of the box Cons - Does NOT work with Nest Home App. You will need Google home app separately for this camera - Unless you purchase the power cable, the battery pack does not stay on all the time. Only when it detects motion (which is couple of seconds after the motion starts)

One of the best looking cameras for the price, these two cameras have great sensors and night vision. Very easy to mount and the app is very easy to navigate

These are very well built cameras that offer clear images and sound. However, they need to be recharged too frequently for my use, and so I returned them.

I’ve been using Nest for years. Way back to the beginning. It’s always been a solid performer and you get a lot of bang for your buck with the subscription. What I do not like as of the last couple of years is Google doing what Google does best and forcing migration into their app. This camera setup is part of Googles new push to force you the user into using their app. No longer can you use these new cameras with the very good Nest app. I avoided buying these new cameras for the sole purpose of not wanting to use Googles terrible Home app. But my Nest “Legacy” cameras started failing and you can no longer buy them so I really had no other choice if I wanted to continue to use Nest cameras. Other than the terrible Google app, the cameras still work just as good as the legacy cameras. Keep in mind they are all now battery powered, out of the box. And if you want immediate, live video access you are forced to buy an extra power cable for plug in. Classic Google money grab. Operationally wise, it’s still got Nest at its heart so I’ll continue to use them until Google does something totally unacceptable. If you’re reading this Google, fix your terrible app. It’s horrid.

They are really good but the use of the google home app is not the best I wish they were still accessible from the nest app but still very good quality and easy of use and set up is very easy

I now have a few of these cameras and overall they are very good for my use case. I have them connected directly to an outlet so I don't worry about charging batteries. The resolution is HD and the night vision is acceptable. I don't currently subscribe to their cloud service so you get three hours of history. That isn't a lot but it works for me as I can download any clip as needed. There are other options out there and I've used a few but these seem to work just fine for me and the safety of my household.

It’s very sleek and convenient to instal and connect. But it misses a lot of events while capturing others in less important areas. Even though you can select fields to increase sensitivity. There doesn’t seem to be any consistency with what it detects. It also can take a long time to connect to my phone which I don’t understand. I also have blink cameras on the interior which are plugged in for electricity but connect to wifi. I never have a problem waiting for those to connect.

We currently have a wired camera system and has served us well for 6 years. Unfortunately, it's beginning to show it's age with a few malfunctions. Replacing the cameras with new ones is not an option; too old and out-of-date. So, in our search, I chose to purchase the Nest Cam Battery. The picture is great! However, the battery only lasts less than 3 weeks. It's placed at the front of our house, so it does capture quite a bit of activity. I'm sure it would be even more if we didn't live in a cul-de-sac and probably lower battery life. On the lighter side of this, you can purchase the optional power supply BUT you have to have an outlet nearby.

IL residents waste battery life without familiar face recognition. Convenient that can be charged manually rather that running power. However battery life only 3 weeks if trafficked area without friendly face detection which I assume would save battery life. Picture quality is good though rarely quite high res enough to get license plates of passing Cars
