Customer Ratings & Reviews

Not going to lie, these have come in handy. We've been able to catch people in our community letting their dogs poop in our yard and notify them they were caught. Plus we feel a lot safer knowing we can see what's going on in and around our home.

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

I bought this camera as part of my google home setup. The camera has clear picture quality during the day usually but less clear in the evening. Additionally it only records in 30s increments unless it is plugged in. Furthermore, it does require a paid subscription to google at $6 a month or $60 a year if you want it to record anything beyond the last 3 hour time window. All in all a decent camera but there is likely other comparable products on the market that dont charge a monthly fee, this would likely involve having a dvr somewhere in your home instead.

Great quality cameras. They capture a good span. Good night vision.

I have purchased a significant amount of Nest Cameras (Indoor and Outdoor) in the past. I have no idea why these cameras have gotten so very large vs what they used to be. It makes for a much more noticeable unit installed. Also does not come with the cord which is an added expense whereas they always came with the unit. I do NOT use these as a battery operated unit only so have to plug them in. Not as happy with these newer outdoor cameras

I feel like Google Nest missed the mark on this product. I get the sense that Nest attempted to make the product easier to use and more versatile for placement by making it (chargeable) battery operated, which I understand. I owned, installed, and used the previous generation of wired outdoor Nest cam. The install was moderate to difficult for a weekend handyman like me, but in the end, it all worked out and looked amazing. But, my issues are: 1) I bought the 2 pack (2 cameras), yet there is only 1 short charging wire, with no wire or supplies to hardwire the camera for 24/7 footage. So, you have to purchase (from Google) additional outdoor wires that are long enough to install. 2) you’re asking why I would want to hardwire the camera, right? First, all reports reaffirm that battery life is short, especially in high traffic areas, so I don’t want to keep charging and worrying when the battery is low. Second, if you want full functionality of the camera, then it HAS TO BE hardwired. That was the biggest disappointment. Why would Google Nest offer a new product that can’t be fully setup from what is offered in the box. It feels like a money grab, and not a pleasant customer experience.

Easy setup. Easy to configure to your Google Home account. I'm not overly impressed with the with the way Google home does it's video recording. It's not constant recording and the cameras can miss things.

Bought more of these while on sale, works great especially if using other google home products. I like that you can keep this plugged in for continuous 24/7 recording (as long as you pay for the plan, which also covers other cameras/nest doorbells). When not plugged in, tends to miss the first few seconds of an event in the history log. Picture quality is fairly good, even at night. Detection zones make it easier to not get notifications for cars passing by on the street.

Nice Indoor/Outdoor cameras. Easy to install with flexible mounting options and plenty of accessories for various mounting ideas. I always run these cameras plugged-in. I never run them on battery mode. However, I'm sure they operate nicely as rechargeable units. Adding a Nest Aware subscription gives you recording and playback options with a basic subscription at $8 per month.

Overall, the cameras have met my expectations. Great visual quality based on camera feed(s), extremely easy to install and position for optimal viewing coverage. Very satisfied with overall operability and use. Only downside, but manageable, is that the added cameras only work on the Google Home Network when added to an existing operable Nest Doorbell Camera operating system. But, as mentioned earlier, completely manageable through the Google Home networking system.

Cameras work great. Nice clear picture and simple to install. The only thing about wireless cameras is that you have to charge them about once a week at the earliest and once every three weeks at the latest.

I love the ease of installing and setting up these cameras. As long as you install the app on your phone you will always get notifications when something crosses into its path. The night vision is great as well.

Bought a 2-pack and have used them for about a year. One of the cameras works ok, but often doesn't pick up motion. The other cam is terrible. The battery takes 2-3 days to charge. Constantly says that it's an incompatible charger, eventhough it's the cable that came with it, and charges the other cam fine. It can't charge while mounted. The battery only lasts about 3-5 days, with no activity. The battery is a serious problem and makes the purchase unusable.

When I purchased my house 2 years ago, there was a Nest outdoor camera in place. When it didn't cover the front door as well as I would have liked, I added a Nest doorbell camera. Now I wanted to add a camera for the back door. I went with Nest to integrate all my cameras and have it under the same security system. Going with the wireless model may have been short-sighted on my part. The camera was easy to install. It literally took less than 10 minutes. Granted I'm still adjusting the settings, but it doesn't seem to cover as much from a video standpoint as the other cameras. This is perhaps due to the battery power and the need to conserve. (I may add a weather proof cable if I can't get the settings to my satisfaction.)

I bought another camera to add to my system. These work great.

We use this camera to watch the critters that visit us each night. It's quite fun. It's a great outdoor camera.

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.

I had to replace it with another one lasted a little over two years. Good camera overall.

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.

These are great cameras but they should have included the outdoor power cables. Battery life is ok but if it's in an active area, you need to have it powered. Video quality is good. App is... not great... but it works. It's sometimes very glitchy when trying to browse video history.
