    I have a baby monitor now that is bluetooth only with sound and everything. But I needed a camera for the living room and the baby;s room for when me and the wife go out. This way we can keep an eye on the house, baby, and a babysitter from our phones when we are out. The picture is great and it is so simple to install and get up and running to your phone. I would of paid full price but I got it on sale. Definitely a must have if you have children at home or just want to keep an ey eon the house when you are gone.

    Excellent Camera for Home Security Monitoring

    The Nest Camera is excellent quality with HD resolution imaging at either 720P or 1080P. Easy to setup the camera into your home WIFI network. I now have 5 Nest Cams active in my network along with 6 Nest Smoke/CO2 detectors. Excellent interface for the iOS mobile app. Excellent image viewing on either an iPhone 6S or iPad Mini Retina. Easy wall or ceiling mounting for the camera. Highly recommended. I upgraded from former D-Link wifi network cameras. Nest Cam is a seriously significant improvement.

    I needed 4 of these cameras to monitor my sick elderly dog. The picture quality is excellent. The reliability is excellent. The setup was super easy. It took less than 10 minutes to connect and configure each one. I actually spent more time placing them. They are a little on the pricey side. The only reason that I didn’t give them 5 stars is because the speakers aren’t as loud as they should be when talking remotely.

    Purchased this during Black Friday on sale. Primarily use this camera to keep tabs on our cat and home while we are at work during the day or go on trips for days at a time. Great quality picture and viewing angle, Nest products are wonderfully made. Easy set up. Only drawback is that you have to subscribe to a pay service to record footage, which I knew ahead of time and don't need to use that for the moment, but important for potential buyers to know. If you want free cloud storage for footage there a couple other options available.

    These cameras are easy to set up and work really well at recording motion and recognizing when it sees a person. The video is clear. It’s also nice to have them turn on automatically when we leave home. Keep in mind that the Nest Aware service will cost at least $20 a month ($16.67 if you prepay for a year) for 3 cameras and they are much less useful without it.

    Easy set up and connection to computer and phone app. Very quick notifications of movement and sound-15 sec or less on AC wireless. I have been using a Drop Cam camera for a year. Purchased two additional Nest Cam's. The resolution is much better on the Nest Cams. Clear night vision. Positioned cameras to see anyone approaching the front door, kitchen door and both downstairs door and hallway. The night vision is very clear. Only issue is the Nest Cam audio is not as loud as the Drop Cam. Also, I would like Emails along with the notifications for sound and movement.

    This is a great little cam. I shopped for a while and i did my research. Pros: Ease of set up, Clarity (high res), and sound! Also it is always on, so no delay when it notices movement thus causing a delay when recording. Cons: I wish it came in white. The black cam is great, but I also wish it had a black cord to easily conceal.

    With both video and sound, this is the best cam for the price, on the market. The picture is very clear and the night vision superb. If you want more then real time action, you have to pay $99 for the year for the first camera, and then a small amount for each additional. You can use your iPhone, ipad, pc, etc. to login and see what's going on. Great for elderly people with nursing aides. You can check in at any time and see or hear what's going on. You can also use it fir security in a closed room and have it email you if it detects sound or movement.

    I picked up two of these to monitor my dogs and entryway. The view is nice and wide so theres not much need to strategically place it to capture the whole room. Notifications can be texted and emailed to your phone when the camera hears something, detects motion or hears dogs barking. It's worked flawlessly so far. One note to make is to have a strong network. With two cameras hooked up i noticed one kept dropping out. As soon as i turned the quality to low i was able to keep both connected simultaneously.

    Don't Judge Me...

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought The Nest Cam after my Dad purchased one for his Summer home so he could keep an eye on it while he was not there. My Dad really loved his Nest Cam and after reading many good reviews I decided to purchase one as well. Now...please don't judge me for this, but I purchased this camera so that I could keep an eye on my dogs while I was out of the house. You can also to talk into the app and it will play through the camera. One thing to know is that you have to screw in the mount to the wall that the camera sticks to (from a magnet on the back of it). When I purchased this the sales person at Best Buy told me I did not have to do that and I did not think to ask my Dad about this part. This is not the biggest deal except that I thought I would be able to move it around more. Also, consider the cost of adding Nest Aware if purchasing this camera. Nest Aware is the option that saves your recording history. You can check it online or through the Nest App. There are monthly plan options and yearly plan options. The yearly plan just gives you a discount compared to paying monthly. There are also 2 options, a 10-day history or a 30-day history. It is around $10-$30 per month to pay monthly or $100-$300 yearly for one camera. Additional cameras are at a discounted price. The price of this is a bit high and I didn't know this was an additional cost when I purchased the camera. You do not HAVE to have this option, but it is nice to have.

    I bought two of these cameras after doing research on them. They have exceeded my expectations. The images are clear and the sound works great as well. In my bedroom the night vision works fantastic. I use the camera when I'm out of the house set on motion detection and it alerts me just as it should. I plan on picking up a few more soon. Easy set up too

    Nest provides a great camera. You can zoom, view it on mobile devices (it's tricky on a Kindle Fire, but you can do it), and it's alerts are wonderful. We're using it as a baby monitor, and it's good. The camera detects motion and sound. All of this makes the camera worth it. Then Nest told me that I had to have a subscription to have anything recorded. I thought the rather expensive camera would have a free subscription for a year or something...I was wrong. Now, I can't return the camera and I can't record anything without purchasing a subscription.So -1 star. The camera's great. The subscription service stinks.

    I was looking for a webcam to watch my house and pet while I was away. Didn't need anything fancy just a good value. While this is a bit pricey, I was able to snag a discount during the holidays so I went ahead and purchased and have not been disappointed. It was easy to set up and view on mobile device. I like the motion notifications. Only negative is paying for cloud storage if you want capability to view history.

    I bought three of the Nest cameras for home security and have been amazed what these hi-definition cameras have captured. While it is necessary to purchase the cloud storage service for archived captured video after the trial period expires, it is definitely worth it. I got notifications on my mobile devices of a neighborhood fire that was captured just a few days after I installed the cameras. Setup was fast and painless, you just need good wifi reception for the cameras to work properly. Highly recommend!

    I bought one camera and tried it for a few weeks. Then I purchased another camera. I now have 2 views into my house which covers most of the entrances. Set up was easy and picture quality is excellent. Nightvision quality is remarkable. We have a dog and we had someone watch the dog while we were on vacation. The motion sensors work really well with few false alarms. Great security system without paying a monthly fee, although there is a fee to keep 10 days of video in the cloud.
