    Very expensive, but if you have stable internet coverage, then they will work great. I own, nine of these cameras. Now with their new plan, you can add more cameras for a fix price.

    I replaced my other camera w/ Nest cameras since I can go back and look at all my history for a given time period not just recorded clips of motion etc. Love this camera.

    This is an excellent camera. I expecially love the ability to track people giving you the ability to identify someone who enters your property without your knowledge.

    These cameras are working great over a year later. I use these to provide coverage of most of my property and they hold up well in all weather. Highly recommend.

    Works ok but not worth the extra $$. I returned it and got the standard outdoor nest cam for hunderds less and it works almost just as good.

    Nice camera but Hard to set up

    I bought these cameras after months of research on different products. I am already in the Nest/Google family app the decision wasn’t too hard on starting in the ecosystem since I have had a great experience with my other Nest and Google products. All that said, I have never had such a hard time setting up a product. It took several virtual chats and multiple days to finally resolve my issues. Almost as bad as Comcast. I finally have these cameras set up, but for the price and hassle of getting them working, I don’t think they deserve the premium pricing.

    It’s okay. Very laggy and have had more issues with it than I’d expect for the price. Overall video quality is great when it works.

      Hi Slane,

      We appreciate your feedback on your Nest Cam IQ Outdoor. We're sorry to hear of the connectivity issue you are having with it.

      If you have many connected devices on your Wi-Fi network, the issue may be related to the bandwidth congestion. We can suggest disconnecting some of your connected devices to relieve traffic on your network to see if it helps keep your Nest cameras connected.

      If the issue persists, then we'd be happy to take a closer look at your Nest camera for further troubleshooting. Please feel free to reach out to us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/contactflow Nest

    These cameras are a good choice for DIY home surveillance. They have a wide angle which I like. I find that at night the quality suffers. The app is easy to use and overall it does a good job.

    Awkward mounting options, large

    Be forewarned that this Nest Cam IQ Outdoor model is significantly larger than the other "non-IQ" model. You cannot mount this at a 90 degree angle unlike the magnetic "non-IQ" model which lets you mount it anyway you want. The IQ mount is very limited in movement, so make sure that you can flush mount it and can drill into it easily. I wound up having to return this for the "non-IQ" version because I need the 90 degree mounting option. This is also significantly more expensive. I don't think it's worth it.

    The identification of subjects is great. The wifi connection sometimes dies but I believe it is Google Fiber's problem. I am addicted to watching the images.

    we are still learning it, but i wish i could separate rain motion from a car motion for notifications, and also birds tweeting from a person talking, for notifications.
