EXCELLENT outdoor camera. My neighbor's are shocked by the quality of the video. In my case I did require help with installation b/c of the location. Very easy to use. I loved my first one so much I purchased a second for my backyard.

This camera performs well in the day time and at night, and integrates great with the Nest app. The picture quality is very good and you can register faces so it learns who it doesn’t need to alert you about. The image quality is much better which fewer compression artifacts.

Really like the design sleek clean feels substantial in hand
Images are clean and I like the face recognition
But sometimes I feel the Nest servers go down?
I did call tech support twice both times fast n efficient do I feel support is good

I already had a Nest Hello Video Doorbell and was very impressed with it. I had had no luck with Ring products. The Nest doorbell works great. When I wanted an outdoor camera, I researched the Nest products and decided on this one for 2 reasons. One, the camera was the latest and greatest. And the second was that it connected with an ordinary cord and, if necessary, I could use an extension cord. I knew that I needed a wifi extender and had purchased it The install of the camera was easy. Of course, setup was a breeze. The camera has a huge range and I needed to narrow down the zone. The video is superb. It stays connected to the wifi. Plug it in and forget it. I purchased the 5 day Nest Aware storage for it (I had that same package for the doorbell) and since it was the 2nd camera on it, I got a "deal" for the 2nd camera. I highly recommend it.

My son installed this Nest security camera for me. Being a very senior citizen living alone, this camera provides peace of mind. It is awesome. Love the clarity, the night vision, the zooming in close to the subject, etc. Great product!

Amazing Field of View

We have had several Nest Cams installed and one of the original ones started to fritz out.
Having the Nest Cam IQ above our Front Door, I knew this camera offered a substantial improvement over the original models that had moved to our side and back doors.
Replacing the back yard frizzy one with the new Nest Cam IQ was very surprising - the field of view is so much better than expected. We not only see our yard as we had before, but we get additional coverage over the fence and into the street - a whole extra area of coverage that we could not see before while also seeing the yard.
In other words, although more expensive, I am now getting to monitor an area that would have previously required two cameras.
Simply put - the Nest Cam IQ Outdoor is hands down a superior product.

I love that the mounting has the ability to wire straight from the base to inside the wall - the 4K video gives the details that accurately show what is happening, and the night vision is unmatched in comparison.

I've been impressed with the Nest Cam IQ. The image quality is better than most security cam footage you see on the news, but you won't be reading car tags out on the street. I do suggest that, since this plugs into the wall outlet that you invest in a UPS for the camera and your network hardware (modem/router). We lost power in a storm and during the 5 minutes that the camera, modem and router were rebooting, a tree fell on our car in the driveway. The built-in microphone is very sensitive and easily picks up conversations up to 50 feet from the camera. Overall, we've been very satisfied with the camera and intend to install additional ones so that we get full coverage of the sides and back of our house.

Great quality camera! Easy to set up, pictures are clear enhanced view by the wide angle screen.
Difficulty setting up and capturing/recording images. Could use more instructions about recording images.

Everything I wanted in a camera. Easy install and configuration with the Nest app. A little more money than I wanted to spend. If Google would reduce the packaging it would help save the planet and some cost!!

I have done a ton of research and decided to go with the Nest Outdoor IQ. I purchased the 2 pack. First of all the camera quality is insane and the overall quality of the camera is very durable and feels like you paid a lot of money for them. The only draw back I have is watching the video footage from a remote computer. All I ever get is a blue circle spinning. Also they have gone off line at random times not too often but it does happen occasionally. I have upped my Wifi etc. but it does still happen. I wish it had a built in alarm sound to scare off intruders hopefully this is possible with an update. The other thing that really frustrates me is the lag. If I’m speaking to someone there’s like an 5-8 second delay before the person on the other end hears me. That is probably my worst pet peeve. Other than that great quality camera nice picture and perks.

The video quality on these cameras are amazing! I love the face recognition feature as well and they can track movement better than the other normal Nest outdoor camera. Totally worth my money.

Outstanding camera for security purposes. Very expensive but the technology this camera has makes the investment worth it. Facial recognition, zoom in of the subject and always on technology makes this a smart buy.

Great quality image, easy to install. Love how I can just feed it power cable through the back of the mount and into the wall for a clean look.
