    Its an 8 megapixel camera, and offers all the resolution of such. Any cellphone camera beat this camera. It cant read a sign with 2in letters from 25 ft. It wont recognize a face unil you get closer than 20ft. Its best for close in work. Its marginally better than the Wyze camera, but has better bells and whistles.

      Posted .

      Hi James,

      We appreciate you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We're sorry to hear Nest Cam IQ Outdoor hasn't met your expectations.

      In daylight with ideal lighting conditions, Google Nest cameras can see about as far as you can, and their wide angle lens has a field of vision almost as wide as the human eye. Nest Cam IQ Outdoor uses a 4K sensor to automatically zoom in and track, but would only do so if it detects people walking in front of your camera.
      If you want to keep an eye at farther distances, there is a zoom-and-enhance feature which focuses the entire sensor on the area you’ve zoomed in on and can give you more details. This can be done either through the Nest app or web app using a computer browser.

      If you need any assistance, you can always contact us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/contactflow Nest

    Camera works well. Microphone is quite sensitive resulting in lots of events where it heard sound. Really like the facial recognition feature.

    Tried the standard Nest Cam Outdoor first. Both the night time visibility and the placement flexibility are much better on the IQ version

    Great to start then falls apart!

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Cameras worked great until 12/2021 when the outer lens fell off and shattered. When I look for replacement parts no one responds. While the camera works well, the fact that the thing is now falling apart is an issue. Not sure about the newer models but clearly contacting the Manufacturer now is useless. Buyer beware.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
