Customer Ratings & Reviews

Our camera is installed in the garage and if the door is closed is works beautifully! However once the garage door opens the image is washed out and takes about 2-3 seconds to return to focus. Also when the garage door is left open the image outside is far from acceptable. If you're only concerned with the inside image then this camera will be fine. I also tried the camera inside our home and it works fine. After some further issues I realized that this camera lacks when there is sunlight or bright lights in the image. The camera also HEATS UP quickly! Other reviews state the same but now that I own one I can verify that 100%

My wife and I are so glad we took the plunge to purchase this Nest Cam. Obviously, having stable wifi is a prerequisite for smart tech. Setup was really intuitive, as is the app (although the new app update isn't as nice because it clutters your view in portrait mode with video history and thumbnails). The video storage option is pricey so we are using it as a video monitor without it and it still works splendidly. Lag time has rarely been an issue. And the night vision is fantastic. I was actually surprised by the wide viewing angle--we're able to see our entire nursery and even into the hallway. Word to the wise, however: be careful where you mount it because it is mounted magnetically, and should that fall down it could be dangerous. After researching baby video cams it was a no brainer to go with Nest.

These cameras are amazing. Very easy to set-up and install. The nest home app is easy, portable, and very intuitive. Well designed system, overall. Cameras offer good quality and a wide field of view. Built-in night vision is awesome. No complaints whatsoever. Would highly recommend this.

This is our third indoor camera. Nest camera works great. Clear picture. Easy to set up and use.

I bought this camera so I can keep an eye on my 6 and 2yrs old when I'm in the kitchen or in my bed room doing my work. I remember the first time I shouted at m son thru the camera well the expression on his face had me laughing. I have a big living room and it covers all of it. If something happened I can rewind and see which one did it. When we go away we will subscribe to the outside company. I love the fact that I can ck my place from anywhere I travel on my phone, iPad or computer to see what's going on in my place. It's a great and I'm planing on getting 1-2 more.

Overall, I would recommend it as it is a versatile little camera that fits in with the Nest ecosystem that is slowly being established. Using it as a baby monitor then will adapt its application for security down the road. Picture quality is great just wish the app was more responsive. App is actually nice but needs some fine tuning.

Awesome camera for the price. Easy to use with a great quality picture. I will be buying more.

This camera is exactly what I was looking for. The clarity of the picture is very good and setup was simple.

Picked up the Nest Cam to link with my Nest Thermostat. Cameras turn on automatically when I set the thermostat to away. Image quality is excellent. Notifications can be set to both sound and motion and you will get a message or email about it. You will have to purchase Nest Aware for video playback. $100/year for days worth of playback and $300/year for 30 days. Also Nest Aware is per camera, but the additional cameras are offered at a lower rate.

I'm expanding my network of Nest cameras to cover multiple locations. It's a great, easy-to-setup device, giving me peace of mind for the locations I want to monitor. with my latest Nest Cam, I have configured it for 1080p resolution, and it is extremely clear. With good bandwidth, there's no problem transmitting video at 1080p. If you have lower bandwidth, I recommend the 780 setting so the video does not become choppy. I plan on another one soon!

I have purchased 4 of these. Easy to set up and use. Great picture and the iPhone and iPad apps work great.

Works very well as a baby monitor. My iPhone will notify me if there is noise or motion in my son's room and we can check on him any time. Be careful with "Nest Aware." We cancelled our free trial because it uploads video history to a server and slowed our internet to a crawl. Without it, there is no history but the connection is instant and the rest of the house is not affected.

I really love the overall quality of the camera. I like that you can see 180 degrees of the room it is facing into. I utilize this camera in my livingroom. I would say the only pitfall is that the camera is not rotatable and I assumed it would be for the price I paid, however, it was not. I had a much cheaper camera (D-Link) that I replaced with this Nest cam. That camera was maybe $100 total and had the ability to rotate 360 degrees and record, of course, the camera quality was not as good, and that I am aware, did not have the same 'alert' capabilities (sound, motion, dog bark, alarm, etc.) that the Nest camera has. I also like that you can set those notifications to push to your phone once they are detected. Overall, I think the quality of the camera is a great buy and I am thinking of purchasing a second in the future, but might wait to see if Google comes out with a rotatable one, as that would be more functional for my needs.

The nest camera works great. Good pictures quality and easy setup. There are a few hiccups every now and then, but it could be my internet connection.

This is the second of these cameras I’ve purchased. Very easy setup and good video quality. The night vision is very good. The subscription required to store video a reasonable length of time may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but the user experience is nicely done. It makes it easy to review flagged events.

I love my new Nest Cam! 1080p picture is awesome! I love the text messages I get when it detects movement!

I researched at great length to realize the Nest Cam (developed out of the original Drop Cam) is not only the best and most affordable in it's class, but it is also easy to set up and operate. The image quality is better than many higher priced systems.

I had purchased this camera with not knowing the quality and capabilities that it had yeah! I seen the YouTube videos but it never did this Nest Cam any justice. When I got tome I was so leary about that I wanted to return it glad I didn't the set-up was a breeze it took a total of 10-12 minutes max. And when the installation and updates was completed I was good to go the video quality is 1080P with night vision and it records audio and you can also talk to a person through the camera but it is not a two way communicator. Now let's talk about recording nest offers recording plans either on a monthly basis or by a yearly subscription it starts with a one month free trial but after that you will lose all access to videos that has been recording but it will allow you to view the cam but you will not be able to see any recordings. And to me one of the best on the market If anyone is looking for a excellent indoor security cam go with nest

Nest is a cost-effective device. The picture images is good and it does not slow down our home network. The app generally works well. Small and discrete. The app gives too many alerts for motion and sound, many of which are set of by our cat. Wish Nest would give more than a 30 day trial period for the history function.

Perfect video, easy setup, nice iPhone app, good integration with other smarthome devices
