Customer Ratings & Reviews

Good camera for monitoring home activity while away at work!

I reviewed and intended in purchasing a D-Link. The sales dude told me that I could get access to footage in the cloud instead of waiting to get home for SIM card access so I went with the Nest. Unfortunately I have to subscribe and pay after my free 30 days to get that access.

Bought nest camera for Xmas, work excellent. We love it

Only problem I have is that it loses signal every so often.

I love the build of the Nest Camera. I didn’t love the notification delay. Even after paying the subscription, I was still missing notifications. Switched to the Nest IQ Indoor Camera and love it so much!

The camera is quick to set up, and that's where the positives end. We have it mounted about 12 feet off the ground and at that height, the video image is ok but even at the highest resolution setting, you can't see a person's face clearly unless the sun is shining super bright into the house. I give video quality only 2 stars. Audio is acceptable, but when you communicate back and forth through the Android app and the camera, you can't always hear the person respond on your phone. The person near the camera can always hear the person that is on the phone, but not vice versa...1 star in this category. Also, to keep a video history of the past 10 days, you have to pay a subscription fee for a camera that is already super costly with poor quality in every category. There are systems out there that do not require a subscription fee. Also, there are a high number of false alarms. If the sun comes out from behind clouds or jumps back behind clouds, the camera alerts your phone that there is someone near the camera. You will get alert fatigue with this camera. Another problem, the camera sometimes will stop streaming to the Android app...we've had to shut off and turn on the camera 3 times in the past 2 weeks to restore video streaming capabilities on the Droid app. They should allow free or highly discounted upgrades to that new Nest cam which is supposedly light years ahead of this one, because this model is a total disappointment and waste of money.

Bought to be a baby monitor. Not a good idea. Sound is not good. Video is passable but not the HD that is advertised. Need for wifi makes it difficult to leave on all the time for baby monitor. Probably a descent cam for basic checking in on older kids or a babysitter though.

This camera real help me protect my home any thing.i like it!

everything worked well not a big fan of the subscription rate

We like to watch our dog when we leave. And for security.

Works well but took several attempts to connect to network

great product, beware the costs of online video storage.

Customer service was par excellence. Product is also good

Monthly subscription hurts and expensive for the alerts.

Not great from inside, looking out. Too much glare created. Wish there was a better way to access the footage then from a computer. Also is a plug in device, someone could just unplug it to stop recording.

I lost internet connection and I had to trouble shoot it to get it working again. What a pain. Not very clear if I am looking at a 2 rooms In front of each other. Not very good in a low light room either. It's only good for one room only.

Great camera for use especially at close distances.

Lagging a lot. Hard to see things online, even though the entire system I got is all google and my internet speed is well above 0.5 Gigs.

Working fine in my office Apps for iOS must be improved

Wish it had better night vision. Great voice command.
