Two nice things about these camera are, first, they are compatible with our Google Nest Hub doing don’t need another piece of equipment on which to record events. Secondly, they are clean, i.e., they do not have protruding antennas nor lights that reveal their presence, so they are relatively inconspicuous, a good thing for a security camera.
I give them only 3 stars, however, because I doubt their reliability. I have one mounted over my garage watching my rather long driveway. Rarely does the camera record my car leaving the garage and turning to exit the driveway or returning. And, frequently it does not record the delivery of my newspaper in spite of the fact that the delivery person drives right up to my garage. However, other cameras record the motion of headlights of cars turning around in the cul de sac. I also get numerous bug and bird recordings as well as shadows of trees on my front porch as the sun comes up (90 times one morning).
There are also inexplicable notices of cameras being off line. When I check the app everything appears fine. And, strangely, I have two cameras connected to the same electrical outlet; I got a notice that one of the cameras was off line, but the other was unaffected. So, it was not a power failure that caused the one to go off line.

Brand response from Nest Support

Hi Juddson, we're glad that you liked your Nest Cam Outdoor cameras. However, we do apologize for the issue you're having with the one mounted over your garage.
If you're willing to try, here are some steps you can follow to try fix the recording issue: - Check that power, internet connection and Wi-Fi are on. The offline issue may be related to either a weak Wi-Fi signal from your router or possible congestion on your network. - Make sure the camera can spot the activity you want. You may need to move your camera or change something in the camera’s view to improve motion detection results. - Check for any possible reflective materials or glare that is facing your Nest camera as it is commonly caused by the sun shining into the camera lens or being reflected off a nearby surface. - Check that the camera and microphone are on.
If the issue persists, you may contact our support team for further help. We'd be happy to work with you and improve your experience, if you can reach out to us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

We like the connectivity to the house while away. Occasionally, a camera will drop offline for no apparent reason, then reconnect on its own.

We love these outdoor cameras. We have a second home upstate and we have several on the property. They are easy to use a great design and they help us keep an eye on the place remotely. I do wish they came in black so they didn't stick out so much in the environment but I purchased the silicon sleeves separately and that fixed the issue.

I was using Arlo cameras before this but they only recorded activity for a few seconds when motion was detected. They also weren't the best at detecting motion past 10ft or coming from the front, even at a slight angle. I had a tire slashed in my driveway, with an Arlo cam mounted 15ft away (over my garage door). The Nest cam has been the perfect solution. Now, i get audio and video recordings to easily cycle back through 24/7 and flawless motion detection, even beyond my driveway.
