    I currently have Arlo, Ring and now Nest. Nest camera video quality is the best but software for viewing and alerts is very poorly designed verses the other competitors. Also the connection issue is a major problem in our home. Our netgear nighthawk wifi router was even upgraded to a new one and the signal always drops. Even though our wifi router is just 30ft away. I was advised by the technican to purchase a Google mesh system instead. I honestly think Nest should consider having the option to hardwire the camera system.

      Hi EleMent3,

      Thanks for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about the difficulties you have with alerts and Wi-Fi connection for your Nest Cam IQ Outdoor.

      The notification options you get depend on the type of camera you have and whether you’re subscribed to Nest Aware. You can select your Nest Cam IQ Outdoor > then Settings > Notifications in the Nest app, and choose the options you prefer.

      Disconnections from your Wi-Fi network may be related to congestion of your network. If you have several connected devices, you may not have enough bandwidth for your Nest Cam IQ Outdoor to stay connected or provide high quality streaming. You can try to disconnect some other devices in your Wifi network to observe if your Nest camera stays connected. You can consider contacting your Internet service provider for a resolution should you confirm that there is a congestion.

      If the troubleshooting steps provided doesn't help with the issue, then we may need to have a deeper look into the issue. Please feel free to reach out to us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/contactflow Nest

    My entire home is connected with nest. from thermostat, doorbell, deadbolt and smoke detectors. They integrate so well and are usually straight forward to install.

    I am a fan of Nest products. This camera is pretty awesome. It mainly let’s us see the foxes and deer running through the yard but also let’s us see when cars pull up to the house.

    This camera is great. Very clear imaging, actually high quality sound for the size of the speaker in it, and it does pick up any activity in the coverage area. Well worth the investment.

    Camera was easy to install, love the IQ features. Bought the IQ to make the Nest Aware subscription less necessary. Will probably end up keeping Mest Aware for the recording though.
