Customer Ratings & Reviews

I added these to my nest outdoor cameras i already had. I dont like the google home app. I wish they would let you use the nest app. However the picture quality is fantastic. Day or night. The sound is ok. Motion detection is set for people only and i do get a lot of false alerts. I am still adjusting but it picks up shadows of cars or trees moving in the wind sometimes as a person. Still, it is great for the money. I have one plugged in and one on battery. Id expect the battery to last probably 60 days before needing to be charged. I plan on running a wire to it, just havent had time yet to drill into the wall. Overall i do recommend this for most applications.

Still the best camera for security I've used and I've tried five different ones both expensive and inexpensive this one by far is the most reliable has the most incredible sound and the clearest View

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.

Bought these the week of Black Friday & so far I’m thoroughly impressed & pleased! Setup & installation was breeze (if you know what you’re doing). I’m happy with build & quality. The only negative thing I can say is the battery drains rapidly in a high traffic motion area where the camera will be used at. So I had to purchase the outdoor weathered cable so the battery would have constant power.

A really good quality pair of cameras that are let down by two things. Continuous recording is only available if they are plugged into power, which defeats the point of a 'wireless' camera. The battery life is not great, either. Otherwise, the picture quality is excellent and easy to use and install.

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

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.

Video quality is good, sound quality is good biggest issue is that you. can’t get 24/7 surveillance with these even if you run cords to keep them plugged in.

Google Nest Cam Battery seems like Beta as there seems to be issues of many kinds.Ibought the 2 pack and can only get 1 going.There seems to be many issues similar to this.I wan't worried about past Nest Cams because i didn't have any.the first Camera went smooth and I like the ease of mounting.No wires gives you many options on location.Make sure to mount higher than you can reach but not so high that you can not get to it to recharge Now the second cam not so much.It is still not setup.I did resets and even made a 2ND Home network out of desperation=NOPE.Going in I read all of the issues but i bet on Google doing updates to fix and improve the experience.I think the other camera options might be a better choice right now.I am hoping Google does do the updates to polish this up a bit.Recommended only if you want to get something to keep it all in the Home Network AND believe Google will step up.

Bought them open box, they work Great. Works as expected. Bestbuy return policy makes it worth trying in the event things don’t go as planned.

I already own 2 Nest IQ Outdoor Cameras which I totally love. Should have done a little more research. The battery cams only work with the Google Home App and not the Nest App which my IQ cameras are on along with my Nest Thermostat. The battery cameras only record when there is some type of activity unlike the Outdoor IQ cameras which record continuously. Yes you can hardwire the battery cameras to get continuous recording which I did but that kind of defeats the battery option. I realize that the battery cameras don't record 24/7 to conserve battery life. The Nest Aware subscription is also different on the battery cameras compared to the Nest IQ Outdoor cameras. If I had it to do all over again I would have got 2 more IQ cameras since I had to hardwire the battery cameras anyway.

These are the best cameras. I hate Ring, had nothing but issues. Switched everything to Google and havent had one issue. Best clarity, night vision and connectivity. I never lose battery because of the solar battery and I get all my alerts and can clearly see everything. I can custom set the zones and time of day I want alerted. Wide field of view. Looks sleek and modern. Easy to assemble with Google Home, everything together in one app. Microphone works flawlessly. Not a single issue! Even got my mother in law to switch over to Google Nest cameras and products as well. Highly recommend.

I love the Google Nest Cam for my back yard. The picture is great ... but, the camera had to be charged sooner than I expected. I bought a long extension cord so it would be easier to charge without taking camera down to charge.

Great product but I have to admit the AI features are still needing a lot of refinement.

So far so good the clarity is better than other cameras I’ve had both “ING” brands weren’t suitable for me for either quality or battery life and i had to buy batteries for the wireless which was hell ! the nest app is easy to navigate and i am also loving the magnetic mounts i just climb my ladder and dismount and remount easily (no man needed) the other brands brackets mixed with the height and needing force to dismount and change batteries was so inconvenient. I also recommend looking to extra chargers if you have multiple cameras yes it may be pricey up front but calculate the amount you are spending on batteries etc per camera yearly vs just spending the little extra up front and you will see it’s worth it.

Total fail. I have had the wired nest camera for 5 years and I loved the nest aware app. Regardless of any motion event, it was the only cameras that would continuously record. I was excited to replace those two wired cameras with these two battery powered wireless cameras but these aren’t even close to the same product I had before. For starters, you can’t use the nest aware app with these cameras. When you install them, Nest makes you use the google home app and the app is not user friendly like the nest aware app. Secondly, they don’t allow you to continuously record. As a matter of fact they don’t even record unless you login and click “live video”. But once you close the app the camera goes back to idle mode. To get live video, you have to open the app back up and click live video. And they only record motion events. Third, to record 3 hours of events, you need to plug in a wire to your wireless camera now making it a wired camera. The whole point was having wireless cameras and now you have to plug in a wire to your wireless camera. Fourth, the set of two cameras only comes with one wire. Are you serious?!? You have to plug in a wire to your wireless camera to get all the features but you only include one wire to the set of two cameras?!? I would say the person who was in charge of this project was sipping a bit too much on the whisky.

They are really good but the use of the google home app is not the best I wish they were still accessible from the nest app but still very good quality and easy of use and set up is very easy

The camera itself is nice and built well, not as well built as the older IQ cameras. When plugged in there is an exposed wire where the IQ hid the wire. The real issue lies in the program the video can be viewed from. This camera only operates on the Home App, not the Nest App. Meaning you cannot view on a computer, you cannot create clips, you can't view all of your nest products on one app. Meaning you get notifications now from two apps and need to flip from one to another. I own two of these cameras as well as several of the older generation cameras. There have been two instances that I needed a recording but because you can only download events and not create a clip I was able to only download before and after what happened not during. Very disappointing that Google would go away from this Even with the Nest Aware subscription, you are not able to create a clip. This is something I did not find out until after I purchased the cameras and installed them (wired). Even though it was advertised at the store that you could crate clips with the subscription.
