    These cameras are amazing. I did my research on cameras of all kinds and I am so happy I bought these cameras. The quality and the artificial intelligence in the units are SUPERB!! Love the 30 day unlimited 24 hour recording.

    Pretty impressive technology. Indexes faces it sees and will send you notifications when unknown faces are spotted. Google's Nest Aware subscription feels like a bargain at $6/month for unlimited cameras.

    I highly recommend this camera. The video quality is good, and I love the way it follows a person detected the entire time they are on your property. It has many features, so you have to take the time to play with the app to fit your needs!

    These IQ cameras are very nice. The quality of the picture is great, and the face ID is very accurate. I wish it came with the outdoor power adapter, but that needs to be bought separately if you're attaching this to an outdoor outlet.

    Great camera to add to the Nest ecosystem. Was hesitant at first due to the price but you truly get what you pay for. Clear pictures both night and day, auto zoom when it detects a person and 2 way audio.

    This camera is very clear and I like how it zooms in on the person and sends you a email notifications but the only thing I don’t like is you have to purchase storage either monthly or yearly to review older motion or sounds .

    We already own Nest thermostats and a video doorbell in two homes so we decided to get Nest cameras since all devices can be viewed in the same app. Video quality is very good and installation is easy.

    My husband researched the Nest system and liked all of the awesome features it has. The camera notifies us when movement is detected and also has facial recognition once we acknowledge that we know the person. We love this product!!

    Upgrade your WiFi first. Installation and setup are straightforward. Picture quality is excellent. Eyes on. Price is high, as is performance. Nest should provide better explanation of its app usage.

    I can not believe they discontinued such an amazing camera-- especially so that they can introduce something so so so far inferior (the Google Nest Cam battery).

    Awesome cameras to monitor the front of my house. The picture is HD so it can recognize faces. It will zoom in automatically on movement and alert you. A bit pricey but worth it.

    I have a total of eight Nest cameras including these two IQ outdoor cameras. They work very well with both the Nest app and Google Home. Also, the new Nest subscription pricing is very affordable!

    Good quality cameras that work perfect in my Google/Nest setup. The night visions is pretty weak and in black/white and the high res video eats up data caps quickly but overall very nice cameras.

    We had had two different wireless cameras in past and they were slow to respond to live views and used up lots of batteries. Nest responds quickly and clearly and cost efficient. More expensive than our old ones but worth it!!!!

    The cam does what it’s supposed to do. There is times that it don’t tell you the person who it sees prob due to quality of the view. But in all it is a very smart cam that zooms in to the person.

    very good picture quality and great looks. It is expensive but you get what you pay for. Remember you still have to plug it in and if you're mounting it outside that is something to think about.
