    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.

    Great cameras. I've installed them on 2 houses now. Very easy to install and the picture and sound quality is fantastic. I will buy this product again.

    Overall seem like nice cameras, everything has been easy to set up so far. Problem is that at night people appear as ghosts, meaning the cameras are slow and don't always capture video of people like they should. Waiting for tech support to come up with solution, they have told me that there is definitely something wrong. If they fix this issue I would give 5 stars, if unable to fix I'll give one star and return for something else capable of recording at night.

    I have been with them three weeks. Is really awesome the easy way to install them. I placed one at driveway and the other one at backyard. It is amazing the auto zoom feature that permit the identification of the person without any distortion. Finally the two way communication work super cool. Two thumps up for nest. I have the nest door bell So I Can monitoring the three cams and the thermostat at the apps. I recommend 100%. When my son saw the performance of the cams, he bought the two package for his home.

    I like the google/nest eco system sand the camera itself is well constructed at fairly easy to install. Although I recommend taking a picture of the serial number before installing should you need it later. My single issue is with the familiar face detection. Does not work or stops working fairly early after activating. This is a known issue at nest which has been an ongoing issue for over a year! There are numerous threads at google/nest on the issues with this feature. So you may want to (re)consider getting the regulate Outdoor ( non IQ ). I have that one as well and it works well.

    We purchased this Nest Cam after our neighborhood had some vandalism to vehicles. At the time, we had a different version of the Nest Cam at our front door. The placement didn't give us a clear view of the driveway and street. The video resolution is incredible, and the ability to zoom in and out is a big plus. This Nest Cam delivers great coverage of our driveway and street in front of our home with a broad viewing range of houses across the street. This Nest Cam was worth the cost and a great addition to the camera at the front door.

    I haven't switched over to the new Nest platform, so I can't say anything positive or negative about it on it. But on the old platform, it's just awesome! I love knowing when the mail/UPS/FedEx has ran, and this bad boi does that perfectly! The image is sooo good! Installation on the other hand... I had to drill through brick, but it's in there and not moving for a looong time. I'd recommend buying the protection plan with this one though. It's pricey enough to justify it, and better safe than sorry. It's outdoors afterall, and I do live in ultra hot humid tropics of Alabama.

    Although a bit pricier than the indoor Nest cameras I have installed over the last year or so, this camera is worth it. In our area outside temperatures can be pretty extreme and this unit has a higher heat tolerance. I'm also impressed with the manner in which it functions. And the installation video and equipment were great and very helpful as well. Probably the best thing I like about my Nest equipment is its reliability and ease of operation. I've used a few other systems and nothing has really compared.

    Excellent camera. Works without problems. Picks up all movements and sounds. Zooms in on people/pets walking on our property. It’s the second one we purchased/installed. First one we needed an electrician since we had no electricity in that particular location where we wanted the camera. Second one we installed ourselves because we had electrical outlet we were able to use inside garage. We are very pleased with the product. Saves a lot of money on surveillance expenses with a surveillance company. Yearly fee for one camera is $30 compared to similar monthly fee. Videos are very clear.

    Really love this camera. The only draw backs are that you have to pay monthly or yearly for Nest Aware and that you have to plug it in. The camera is very nice though.

    The smart Nest IQ camera is durable, it has advanced technology that tracks intruders' movement when they come in view of the camera. The camera also has the ability to zoom in on people who are in the lens view. It is equipped with a microphone which records people talking and noises. The camera's microphone also gives you the ability to speak to those who are in view of the camera. Caution make sure you have the right tools if you are installing the camera through a brick wall.
