Customer Ratings & Reviews

We love our nest! Its great and easy to use! However, it took a good while to set up and it loses connection every now and then to our router. We have very high speed internet, but i do think this issue is more of a comcast problem than a nest problem. Overall, great product!

Camera was easy to set up and has a great picture.

So far this camera has been great. Good video and audio quality. The mic isn't all that loud so depending on where you place it determines if someone will be able to hear you. The only downside I've noticed is that the camera keeps getting disconnected for whatever reason (possibly too much bandwidth). All in all a great camera for the price.

I use these cameras both at home and at work. They can be tricky to setup with commercial firewalls but are usually straightforward. The downside is the annual fee incurred if you want to look at recorded video which you will want to do if anything happens - which is why we install cameras in the first place. I would recommend these cameras but be aware of the ongoing expense.

Good cam for basic monitoring needs. It has the talking feature that is cool. Covers a good bit of area and set up is real easy. Just be mindful that if you are someone that is going to need to watch previously recordings, you will need nestaware (subscription based service from nest) that is a bit pricey.

Good build quality, nice packaging, attractive design. Included installation instructions were minimal but calling their support number provided excellent assistance.

The picture quality is very good and the app is easy to use.

We love our first Nest camera so added another one to the mix so we would have more coverage of our house.

Bought this since I was leaving the country for a few weeks. Got alerts and was able to view live anywhere.

We love the nest cam! Easy installation, love that we are able to view our video feed anytime, anywhere on our iPhones.

If you've read other reviews, NEST makes some great cameras. You can mount these pretty much anywhere, or just place them on a flat surface. The camera itself can be tilted and turned, so in any mounting situation, you can get your image framed as needed. The image quality is great. When the light goes off, it switches to night vision, and the image in pitch dark is still amazing, although it's in black and white. (There's no such thing as a color night vision) Connect the app on your phone, or use the website (home.nest.com) to view the video stream. There are also apps for Apple TV and perhaps some other platforms. The downside of this camera (the whole NEST ecosystem, really) is that none of the advanced features work without their "Nest Aware" subscription. And most of those features don't work well at all. A gust of wind moves a bush? Alert. A shadow moves across the image? Alert. You get the picture. Add to that the cost (starting at $100 per camera) for Nest Aware, and it's just crazy. So for just keeping an eye out on things wherever you are in the world, these are great. For alerting and cloud storage of your video, be prepared to pay a lot. I haven't measured the data usage, but it's not insignificant, so don't use these when you're on Satellite internet or a slow DSL connection.

The camera is nice because the remote access feature via your phone and/or computer is great. Nest wants you to pay for extended services after 30 days, which I thought was greedy on the company's part. Also, the night vision on the camera is poor. On a positive note, I loved that your voice can be projected through the camera.

I use this in my elderly parents room at night so I can hear and see if they fall or need my assistance.

I have three of these now and this last one only cost $50 per year for the subscription. It works well, covers the area in our kitchen an usually notifies us correctly on my phone or iPad. Sometimes the wind creates shadows from the trees and we get a false alarm. For the most part it does what it says it will do.

Bought this after trying FLIR. The wifi with this camera is terrific. Picture instant and clear. Can zoom in. Voice crystal and clear, both ways. Person just needs to wait 3 seconds to answer. (Normal). This has helped us keep elderly parent in their home longer, with piece of mind. From Florida to NJ. Crystal clear!

The first camera I purchased from Nest was the Drop Cam, which I still own and it still works . The video and audio are very clear. The quality of the recordings are great. Since my first purchase I have purchased 4 additional Nest cameras placed around my house.

Easy to install and use. Picture quality is good both during day and night.

I have purchased 15 of these cameras to use in two of my businesses and at my personal residence. They work great the qualities great the cloud is good for storing videos. Wish they would make the sharing of cameras with others limited like they were in the original Dropcam app. I hear they are working on that.

I own the Dropcam HD, the Dropcam Pro, and now two of these Nest Cams. Compared to the Dropcam Pro, they're a little bit clearer and have a very wide angle of viewing. When Nest took over Dropcam, there were issues for a few months but Nest seems to have them sorted out. I love being able to keep watch over my home when I'm not there and these are the best web based cameras on the market.

Great compliment to nest home system tied to thermostat and security all in one app. Should have bought months ago!
