Customer Ratings & Reviews

These cameras are simple to install and use. We just plugged them into electricity, used the Nest application on our phone to scan the QR on the camera, followed the steps to hook up to our wifi and named the camera. We installed six in less than 10 minutes. Great video and sound. We can talk to our dogs and see what is going on at anytime.

Looked at several options and read many reviews before picking this the Nest and this version. The sound and quality is excellent. Simple to setup and easy to link it to Nest account. Nest really simplifies the whole process. Can check the camera’s live feed even while traveling outside the country and it was crystal clear and no delay. Only cosmetic complaint is the white cord. Would prefer the option of black as well.

We purchased these cameras more or less as “nanny cams” when I went back to work after having our twins. We wanted to be able to check in on the kids while we were working and have peace of mind. We set these up in the nursery, living room, and den, and eventually added exterior cameras as well. The picture is crystal clear, the app is very easy to use and setup, the wide view is great and captures an entire room with one camera so there isn’t a need for multiple cameras per room, and you can talk through them as well which can be useful. We’ve been very happy with these and will continue using them until our boys are older, and probably even longer. As crazy as the world can be these days, you never know when someone may break in or something bad may happen and having video footage in the event of an emergency or crime can be very useful.

This camera works great. It does everything it claims. It's nice to have peace of mind when you are away, so you can check and see what's going on at home. It picks up sound and movement as it states. The pictures are nice and clear. The zone and enhancements are really nice. If you have any questions, the company is very helpful and pleasant to deal with. I will now be adding more cameras. A very worthy investment for security and peace of mind.

I really like the simplicity of the Nest Security Cam. Plug it into your PC, set it up to your network and off you go. The only reasons I didn't give this product a 5, though very solid, is the fact that you have to pay a monthly subscription for any kind of recording functionality (once the week or 2 trial is up), and given that there are other products such as the Arlo that offer complete wireless solutions. As far as 1080p functionality though, this one is very very solid and provides just as much options as the next camera in its class.

I think Nest builds beautiful, high quality products. I personally have had times where the camera couldnt be accessed on my phone, was turned off for some unknown reason or couldn't play back activity videos. Could it be my wi-fi...maybe. The definition is excellent, the camera is super easy to get up and running. Overall I like what I bought and would recommend it and purchase again. Nice to have that extra level of security these days.

Pros: Easy to set-up, install and connect to your Nest platform. Many user options and settings which provide value. Nest app integration is great and allows for control and interaction with each camera. Came with a 30 day free trial of Nest Aware (intelligent alerts, zone creation/alerts, creation/sharing of clips). Night vision allows for low light conditions and captures movement well. Records events that can be viewed (with Nest Aware), which is helpful to look back on historical events. Includes sound alert options as well as ability to listen and speak through the camera itself. Cons: Nest Aware subscription after the 30 day free trial ranges from $6 to $12 per month (discounts for yearly subscriptions), but does include all cameras. Picture quality is good, however, zooming in quality is lacking as you cannot pick up details such as license plates, faces or other objects that are far away.

Nice camera for beginners. Good quality image. Easy set up. Wish it had storage capability besides the $10 a month subscription to Nest.

My friend has two of these in his. He used one as a baby monitor watching the crib and the other one for security watching the front area of his home. So when I needed a quick solution to setup a camera at work, I gave this camera a try. This camera was extremely easy to setup and I was up and running in under 15 minutes. Video quality is good and the app was easy to use. I'd recommend it to other buyers.

This product is easy to set up and it is a solid buy. You do not need to sign up for the premium subscription from Nest. I use it for when my daughter is in the play room. It offers a great wide angle viewing shot and it changes from regular to night vision seamlessly depending on the lighting. I love being able to watch the feed from the mobile app. Overall a great purchase.

Overall, very happy with the nest camera, even though I didn't sign up for their cloud services. You can access it via the Nest App, which is easier if you have also Nest Protect and Next Thermostat, and through a regular internet connection via home.nest.com, though the later requires flash, which is on its way out. Still needs to work on a few kinks, e.g. camera is supposed to turn on automatically if set to with Away on the Thermostat, but if the Thermostat goes to Auto Away, the Camera doesn't turn on.

With its crystal clear 130 degree wide angle viewing, this NestCam was the perfect choice. We only needed one (well placed) camera to provide security for a large indoor area. Installation and intregation to a larger Home Automation project was simple and very quick. While it may be a bit pricey, so far it is worth it.

The video quality is terrific and setup couldn't be easier; you just scan a QR code on the back of the camera to get up and running. Linking the account to multiple devices is also a cinch. Night vision is surprisingly clear. Nest starts you out with 1 month of being able to see video history—a recorded log of any time the camera detects motion. If you want video history beyond 1 month, be aware that it'll run you $10 a month. The continuous live feed doesn't cost extra, just video history.

This camera was easy to set up because the instructions were clear. The quality of the picture on the iPhone and iPad was excellent. The base on this camera can be screwed off and attached to a camera. All that would be needed is a portable power supply.

The cameras are of great quality but honestly they charge way too much for cloud storage and have no free option, if the arlo Q had been out when I purchased these, I would have definitely gone with then instead, they provide free 7 day storage for up to 7 cameras. Nest needs to give a free option of cloud storage or they are going to lose out heavily to Arlo, I regret these more than ever as I can only use them to look in live, as it would cost atleast 60/month for the smallest cloud storage option.

The camera is high resolution and easy to set up. A little expensive. Will buy the bundle and split with my sons.

These cameras have great video quality. Easy to setup and the app is very easy to use. I use these to check on my dogs throughout the day and my kids when they are home alone. The app alerts you when there's sound or movement plus shows you a short video of what the camera sees when that happened. Highly recommended. Buy three and save money!

This is EASY to install. It took all of 3 minutes, and since I already had the Nest thermostat the camera logged into the existing account. The camera is quite clear, and easy to use. It was fun surprising my wife when I was at work and spoke to her through the camera. $10 a moth to save recordings is too high, imho. I get 20 gigs on iCloud for $.99. Come on Google.

Pros: Ease of use Ease of set up Can store history with Nest Aware Motion and sound alert Night Vision Cons: Gets hot Can rotate or tilt camera Not for outdoor use Nest Aware subscription is absurdly expensive It has to be wired

This is my second Drop Cam it alerts me if there is any movement in my home and I can check on my iPhone, iPad or computer to see what is going on. Great for when I want to check my home when i am away. Picture is very clear and has night vision, I love it that is why I purchased a second one.
