Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great quality camera. Wasnt sure about having to change from the Nest app to the Home app, but it all works out. Wish the battery was a little longer, but I dont think they meant for it to go in as high traffic areas as I use them in. All in all, great camera, and will be buying again.

I’ve been using the Nest Cam wire-free version for a couple of months now, and overall, I’m really happy with it. I use one outside by the front door and another inside the garage. The biggest plus is that it’s truly wire-free, so I didn’t have to drill or run power lines—just mounted it and connected it to Wi-Fi. The video quality is crisp, and the night vision works great. The smart motion detection is pretty accurate, and I really like that it can tell the difference between people, animals, and vehicles. The battery life is decent—mine lasts about 1.5 to 2 months on a single charge, depending on activity. Integration with the Google Home app is smooth, but I do wish it had more settings control like the older Nest app. Also, if you want continuous recording or familiar face detection, you’ll need to subscribe to Nest Aware.

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.

We really like this camera but the battery dies pretty face. This may be “user error” as its further from our router so its often trying hard to connect. We will move it or get a wifi extender and try again. Hoping this helps fix the battery issue. Probably would hardwire in the future for cameras in spots that are further from the router.

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.

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!

So easy! These cameras were super simple to install and link to my Google Home app. Nice clear picture and I love that I can enlarge the view to find my animals hiding. Voice come through clearly on both transmit and receive. Great buy!

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.

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)

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.

These were super easy to install / setup (especially if you already use google home) They last about 3 weeks between charges.

Bought the open boxed one and came looking perfect, works how it should

These are excellent cameras for the price. There is a limitation to the mounting where it works best when mounted to a wall vs. a ceiling. The setup process is very simple and the wifi works well.

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.

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

I could not believe the price. ADT sells these for $399 each. They are easy to hook up and have been working perfectly. I am considering getting a more detailed subscription. They are worth it.

I liked it; it records well, has a good angle, and good sound. The downside is the battery life. So far, it lasts me a week, and I have to charge it. I don't know if that's normal.

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

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.
