    This camera is a great addition to our Nest home camera system. We see all the crosses or enters our driveway. And can speak with the children when they arrive home after school. Picture quality is great too.

    I absolutely live the Nest Camera system. This camera blew me away. My favorite features are auto zoom and tracking along with facial recognition. Will continue purchasing nest system.

    Clarity is really good, two way talk is great & night vision is great. Couldn't ask for more in a camera. When linked into your smart home it really makes home security seamless!

    Great safety blanket that protects your home or business. Setup is a breeze while using the app. Makes it possible to see what is happening while you are away. Great buy!

    Just installed it yesterday. So far it is really good quality and good response. Not hard to install. But it was hard to place it in an area where you would like to see everything.

    If you want your power cable to be hidden. You have to install outlets somewhere close. If you don’t know how to run your own power outlets it will cost extra for a contractor. But all in all good quality.

    Easy setup and install. Cameras' features compliment other products in the Nest suite perfectly. Highly recommend installing a mesh network to take full advantage of the high resolution video/pictures.

    I bought this as a replacement for a regular Nest outdoor camera. It is quite expensive, but the technology is nothing short of amazing. If you can swing the price, the upgrade is definitely worth it.

    Cameras expensive but do a good job wish they made a battery operated one. Over all I would recommend. The only other thing is they could get their nest and google apps to combined a little easier.

    Camera is awesome and love the auto zoom on moving objects feature. For full functionality, the nest aware subscription is required. However, the subscription is relatively in expensive.

    It’s a very nice camera, but I wish they had a few more accessories for installation. They give you a 35 foot cord and I only need on 6 inches log. The zoom features are nice and it’s a very clear picture.

    Great cameras! Install was fairly easy for a non tech guy. These cameras are definitely worth it! I do recommend setting up a Wifi network so you can have the highest resolution.
