Best outdoor camera, but not your cheapest option

This camera really is the easiest and most compatible option on the market. Installation is a breeze, you can plug it in for uninterrupted use and reserve the battery if there's a power outage. Yes, it costs more but you get what you pay for. If you're simply looking for the cheapest option, this is not it. If you want the best option, this is it... in my opinion.

I would have given this a 5 star rating, but I bought the 2 pack and it only came with 1 cube and 1 charging cable. How is this a 2 pack with only 1 plug? If I would have purchased them seperately, they each would have had a plug. Am I supposed to climb a ladder everytime the battery gets low and swap the plugs? I would not reccomend this bundle. I would purchase the cameras seperately so you have all parts. On the other hand, I do love the cameras and they are excellent quality.

I bout this camera for use in my backyard. DIdnt have any nearby wiring and didnt want to have to keep charging it, so I got the solar panel which best buy also sells. Works great! Have had the camera out there for a few months and havent had to charge it once. And my kids are out there setting it off all the time

Easy setup. Packaged well with everything included to mount.
These can be charger and work fine but have more options for recording and historical playback if connected to power.

Bought these cameras for home security and they are great! There can be some connectivity issues if you have a larger home and do not have wifi boosters.

Camera works well but showing picture in Google Home can be unstable
Good day, DGK50! We’re glad that your Nest Cam (battery) works well! We hear your concern about viewing your camera video using the Home app. We suggest having the latest version of Google Home app that can improve camera playback controls to make it easier to play, pause, and navigate between events from the camera history view. Also, checking for device updates can provide the latest features and keep the devices secure, and are applied across the operating system, browser, and hardware. These updates depend on many device specific non-Google hardware and software providers that work with Google to have the highest level of security and stability support.

Works as it should I have the power cord attached all the time so I have constant recording , cause if you don’t plug in the power cable you only get clips when something happens, time will tell how the camera holds up outside picture quality is ok, could be better , wish it would track movement and zoom in by its self

For the Price of Two You Actually Get Less!

2 pack includes a bit of extra mounting hardware no one really needs (short security cables that aren't really secure?) and gimps you out of a whole wall charger and charging cable — despite being a 2 pack it only comes with 1 charger and 1 cable for both cameras but costs exactly the same as two individual kits that would each include a wall charger and its cable. In short, don't get gimped. Only buy the single camera kits.

Great cameras. Good for inside or outside. Outside ones last me about two weeks if not more. Inside ones about a weekd. I have mine recording all the time. These cameras will not consistently record unless they are connected to a wall outlet.

These things are nice. I leave them plugged in so I can record 24/7 and don’t have to worry about charging the battery. It feels well made and I have not had any issues with them.
Set up with easy. Mounting was easy.
No issues. No complaints.

It is nearly impossible to hook up more than 1 camera. Battery and camera is all in one not separable. You can not mount them very high and keep the quality. Google has only agreed to support them for 5 years. I took mine back and bought Arlo instead. 10 x better. Has solar charger, better zoom, easier set up, spitlight, cheaper and they give you an extra battery. It will not work on same app with nest door bell.

Magnetic base is a game changer!
Ive been using it inside and just move it from room to room by attaching the base to the air return for the HVAC. Battery life is pretty good too
