Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy install High quality physically and good image/ software interface. Don’t like that camera mount is magnetic seems like it could easily be stolen

Must have to keep eyes on the house. Paired with solar power panels and never have to pull them down to charge. We have 5 cameras and all have been flawless.

Got these to figure out who is pooping in my yard and caught my ex wife pooping in my yard. Great quality

The video is crisp but the battery life suffers. Overall great camera. Easy to set up and the app is easy to use.

I love them easy to install great quality and love the look.

Long battery life if you configure correctly. Great video quality too

Works great, adding them to my other nest cams was easy and simple.

I love these cameras . Very easy to use. Battery life is kinda weak though . Constantly charging them

Not as easy to download the app as we were told. No directions in the box. Once we got it we liked it

This was very easy to set up and install. Highly recommend.

If you plan on putting outside cameras save yourself some time and get this google camera instead of the wire google camera. You would thank me later and instructions are straight forward.

I love the google nest products. The picture and sound quality for this camera is amazing. It had an easy installation process so I was able to do it out of my second story back window and I didn’t need a ladder or anything. It’s a very simple and ergonomic design.

I was initially very worried after reading all the negative reviews here, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised so far. They have been up for about 3 weeks and still have more than 75% battery life. The integration with the google home app is pretty seamless, and I can stream them directly to my nest hubs and Chromecasts. I’m giving this 4 stars instead of 5 because it sometimes seems to pick up events slightly late (e.g. an event will start with the person in center frame, should start as soon as the person enters the frame). Overall I’m happy with my purchase, and plan on hardwiring them in the near future for added benefit.

Photo quality was really good, it keeps a pretty good charge for about 2 weeks fully charged. I ended up installing solar panels for each camera and they work great.

The video quality is good, the battery does not last as long as i hoped. I did buy the outdoor power cable and that has helped a lot.

The camera works fine. I only wish that the Google cameras would all work with Nest, so all my cameras were on the same app.

We switched from an Arlo and are pleased. Easy set up with wall plate, screws, and strong magnetic base and cam. Clear 1080p video with smart zones and alerts, pretty much all of the features you would expect in a security cam. We got about 2 weeks of battery before having to recharge. Good choice for anyone, great if you are already in the Google Home universe and looking to expand.

Great product. Good quality. Battery storage is decent but can be better. Drains a bit fast. Recommend buying the extended charging cable to keep the battery juiced up.

I have been using Nest cameras to protect my home and family for almost a decade now. They even helped nab the man who stole my wifes car, and helped send him to prison for a very long time. Rain, snow, or shine, these products withstand everything mother nature can throw at them, and the picture quality stays strong.

I bought the new Nest Cam as a replacement for an Arlo camera facing the driveway. The continuous recording of the Nest Cam (when it's plugged in and with the subscription I already have for the Nest doorcam) made this my preferred choice. The Bad (not as important as The Good; please read on) - Very big camera body. Compared to the Arlo 3 camera it replaced, it seems very wide. - Power connector on the bottom only accepts power cable facing forward toward the lens. It should be reversible so power cable can angle toward the back. - No option to disable green LED indicator. - Must use Google Home app (now I need 3 apps to view different cameras: Nest and Google Home Google; Arlo for Arlo) - Google Home app isn't as good as Nest app. It's basic, but it gets the job done. - Must use the magnetic mount even if using the screw mount on the bottom. Mount seems to switch camera on. Great for shipping, but bad for security as someone just needs to pull it off the wall to disable it. - Bottom screw mount not the best location. Would've like to hang camera from above. Screw mount should be on the back. The Good - Low monthly subscription cost. I pay $120 per year up-front which breaks down to $10 a month for any number of cameras continuously streaming. Cheap protection for the entire family when you think about it. - Pretty fast response times viewing the camera feed with the Google Home Hub desktop display (well, faster than Arlo anyway). This makes sense as they're both Google products. I pretty much expected this as the Nest doorbell cam works fast too so I was glad my expectation panned out. - Wide enough angle to cover entire driveway. In fact, it's almost covers the same area as the previous Arlo 3 camera it replaced (which is rated with a wider FOV). Go figure. - Recognition logic is built in (animals, people, cars). I didn't know this before I purchased. It should help speed notifications and lower bandwidth requirements to Google's cloud servers. Side Notes - Magnetic mount also makes it easy to steal (so I purchased the $15 Wasserstein Anti-Theft Mount from Amazon to protect it) - I previously added a wireless repeater near the front of the house (for smart led bulbs for dusk-dawn automatic external lighting) so took advantage of that signal strength too. If your wireless devices have spotty WiFi connectivity, you might need to add one too. The Verdict I got the new Nest Camera more for the good points as they are so much more important to me than the bad (I know I put a bunch of bad points but they're not show stoppers). The camera works very well for me.
