Customer Ratings & Reviews

Was hesitant with some reviews, works very will have 6 months using now

This is my second camera and I love both. My first camera I have had for a few years and still works like it’s new.

Image Is good but sometimes takes a long time to load

This is a great security camera. Good picture quality, easy hook up.

Easy to set up and view area being covered very few false alarms

Works great, battery life is misleading if you actually want it to record anything. Three weeks using it to its fullest potential

Always works and love the quality of the video. Never had a problem with these cameras. We have four of them now positioned throughout the property

Excellent easy to install and use. Easy to see who's at door, in yard, etc. Very pleased, works better than I anticipated!

Easy to set up but doesn't work with older app if you already had some that you have been using before. I have 5 outside/inside cameras and have to use the newer app but is not as good as the older app from a few years ago.

The video is so amazing, cheap in pricing and easy to install and hook up

Easy to use and good quality picture. I have many of these and they work well with the google home app. I recommend the security cable for the ones outside.

Moving from DVR based BRNC cabled cameras, these cameras are really easy to set up and use. It outdoor installation required you will need a power source 15-30ft away along with purchasing the weather rated power cable. For residential use, you can’t go wrong with these. The google home app and plan for $120 a year that records everything is worth every penny. The mounts are magnetic based with an adapter for mounting purposes. Installing indoor in a commercial application would be acceptable. Outdoor commercial installation I'm still pondering that.

Today there are a large variety of security cameras available on the market and it is nice to finally see Google refreshing their cameras to be more on par with their competitors. I definitely feel this refresh puts this camera in line with competitors. Firstly, the aesthetics are a major part of any security camera as it is something visible to everyone. With the nest camera I feel that Google really gave the product more of a modern look. It is not all about the look though as the mounting was extremely easy and the magnetic base is so much nicer than having to mess with screws every time the camera needs charged. The actual function is the other major component where it is not all positive unfortunately. I personally do like how the camera utilizes the Google home app as I am someone entrenched in the Google ecosystem so having the separate nest app has always been a pain. Then when it comes to the actual video quality it is exactly what you would expect from a 1080p camera to which I would rather have the decreased resolution as opposed to having to charge the battery every month if it were 4K quality. The microphone was exceptional though as I was pleasantly surprised with how clear it picked up sounds. As mentioned, the live feed within the app worked perfect along with the video detection. However, the one item that does come across as a negative for me is only 3 hours of previously saved video as I understand Google is attempting you get you to upgrade to a higher subscription, but 3 hours is not even enough to make it through the night. Overall, this is a great product as the asthetics are top notch with the magnetic mount being an exceptional feature and the usability of the app along with the video and microphone quality being wonderful. However, it seems we will have to continue to wait for the perfect security camera as I just can’t give this product five stars with the high price of the initial product that essentially requires an additional monthly subscription to make it fully achieve its intended purpose. Even if the saved playback was just 12 hours for the free subscription I would not hesitate to recommend this product to everyone, but as it currently sits I would still recommend it to the vast majority of people with the caveat of possibly needing to purchase the nest subscription to which this is the case with basically every security camera today unfortunately.

Nest cam is the best for security wireless or batteries cam runs out so fast for some reason every 2 days needs to be recharged again for 24 hours, real pain when u have 6 cams and keep charging

Great product, easy and quick installation, easy to use and

It was an amazing decision buying it! It bas great quality of video. Easy to install

Can miss activity at night, and the battery life is a bit lower than I had anticipated. Otherwise, very pleased.

This was super easy to set up. I put it off thinking I would need to drill holes and mount it but I was wrong. The magnets are very strong and the battery lasts for a month or more depending on how often you use it. The magnet on the base holds very firmly to any metal and the camera attaches to the base with magnets as well and you can position it however you need it. It charges very quickly and lasts a long time.

Good camera overall. I would expect better video quality in 2021 for this price. Battery life is too short as well. In the end I bought 3 and need them so worth it.

Excellent clarity and definition. The camera was easy to set up and control.
