Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easy to install and app interface is easy to use. Only gave four stars due to the power cord could be a slimline instead of node on end which is harder to drill install through a wall or house and being a clean feed through. I bought two cameras and found that nest charges for additional cameras to monitor so monthly rate is $15 for two $10 for first camera and$5 for second can get pricey for more.

I recently moved and needed camera coverage. I had a camera system at my previous home. Through this, I learned what functions were important to me in a camera system. After much research and even a little trial and error with other systems, I happily landed on the Nest Outdoor Camera. The wide angle view is very important to me because it provides the visibility you would expect which essentially means you need fewer cameras to cover the same area. It turns out Nest has one of, if not the, widest angle views. The other thing I liked is that it has audio. You would think this is a feature all cameras have. Not so much. Many camera systems with DVR setups wireless and/or wired do not have audio. Through the Nest app, you can adjust the sensitivity of the microphone. Niiice. The video clarity and the phone/computer app interface are great. Easy to use, easy to find motion activity, and easy to setup. It is comforting to be able to view it from anywhere on your cell phone. The automatic alerts give you piece of mind. The camera can distinguish between movement and people. The materials are high quality just as you would expect.

Great product! Great clarity. Nite vision is awesome!!

The quality of the live recording is impressive in the day and just as good as at night. I own three of them and happy with my purchase of them however they are a hit on the high side of price. The 130 degree range is great, the distance these cameras pick up is amazing and they are well made. Monthly fee to have access to days in the pasts 24/7 recordings is not expensive and it is cost effective for almost anyone on earth. Audio is great it picks up and you can use two way audio feature and speak to someone outside by camera if you choose to do so and the volume is very loud and clear. Super easy to install and app is also easy to use and operate!

Easy to install and great for keeping an eye on things

Very good quality outside camera. Easy to install and setup. Pricy but time will tell if they are worth the price. Work well with the google home system.

I have to say that it was easy to set up both cameras via my home Wi-Fi. The barcode on each camera makes it easy to set up and the video quality is outstanding. I love the fact that both cameras have speakers so you can hear and talk to whoever comes to your house. I wish the speaker was louder though because I could barely hear it when I was testing it especially if you live in a moderately noisy community. The other down side is the $10 per month if you want your videos saved in the cloud and have ability to play back. Without subscription you only get 3hrs of recording playback and I believe you don't get "person" notification. Make sure you have power source close by or else you might have to drill holes through walls. Overall the nest system works for me and serves my needs. I just want to see who is at my front and back doors and the ability to communicate with the person in real time.

Easy to install, integrates easily with NEST thermostat and fsmoke detectors. Watch live video from your mobile device or computer. Easily review notifications of activity any time and the ability to save if needed. I bought two and am subscribing to NEST Aware for notifications and over a weeks activity at your fingertips,

GET THESE CAMERAS! Great quality. Great set up. Easy application. Nice intuitive app. ONLY drawback is the data usage. One camera can use upwards to 250GB in a month with 1080p setting and Nest Aware subscription.

I love these cameras!! Easy install and clear image

Bought these cameras for of course home security. They worked great up until a few weeks ago when they wouldn't connect to Nest. Their tech support literally knows nothing. They tried to blame my network when nothing on my network has changed since the day I bought these cameras and they worked for 4months or so before they just quit. I tried everything from resetting the cameras, resetting my network. Unplugging the cameras for hours, bringing my laptop up into my attic to connect them directly to nest instead of using there app. Called my internet provider and they said nothing was being blocked from there side. Anyways I tried for two weeks straight to get these to work and then all of a sudden two days they come back online. Without doing anything. I'm guessing it was a bug on their side that their "tech support" knew nothing of and their engineering department had to fix. Just a guess. Anyways when they work they work great. I am however a little upset I didn't know they were making a new IQ Outdoor camera that supports 4k and Tracking and better night vision.

The setup was easy and the camera has great video.

I wanted a simple but nice quality outdoor camera to give me a little peace of mind. This fits the bill nicely. The picture quality is very nice. The night vision is pretty good too but I wish it had a little better range at night. I have it positioned to look down my driveway about 30 ft. Installation was pretty easy. The one bad thing is that the USB connector has a large casing around it so you need to make a hole a little bigger than 1/2 inch in order to feed the wire & connector through a wall. As far as features, the one thing I'm not happy about is that you need a subscription in order to have better features like video recordings instead of picture snapshots. Overall it's a nice camera & I would recommend it. I saw that Ring has a new outdoor floodlight camera & I may have considered that if I wanted more light too, but I didn't really need that feature.

Easy to install and use within the nest app. Very clear, good night vision and love the ability to zoom in and save clips to share or save for later.

These cameras are easy to install and have a great picture/video quality.

Hands down the easiest security camera to install on the market. Excellent image quality. Completely user friendly and the app works perfectly every time. Blends in and looks very nice on my house.

Sure there are more expensive and better clarity outdoor security camera systems out there, but for me, the NEST Outdoor camera met my needs, proved to be a quick and easy self install and paid dividends first night after install, catching a burglary at a neighbors. Was able to use the screen and video grab features to send the homeowner evidence needed. Set up the remote smart device notifications so I am alerted when my camera sees activity or hears sound. All those features are adjustable and optional, so for what I consider a fair price I am in possession of a highly adjustable security system. Would recommend either linking to a recording device / hard drive or signing up for NEST Aware service.

I have been using the Nest(Dropcam) cameras for years. What keeps me a Nest customer has been the great customer service when needed, the awesome easy app, and high quality cameras. This new outdoor is very high quality, comes with the mounting hardware, and an extra durable long cord made for outdoor.

The Nest Cam works for what I got it for which was to see outside to view my porch and driveway. Camera works really well and very easy setup. I didn't have a plug for outside where I placed the camera so I added a socket to my outdoor light bulb that is in an enclosure. My main con with the camera is that the way the camera is designed you can't hide the cord and is easy for someone to go up there and cut the cord. The camera only connects to the celling through a magnetic mount so can also be pulled down and cut. I've installed security cameras in the past and also worked in law enforcement and I've seen cameras being pulled down and ripped off. That is why when you see security cameras the wire usually goes into the wall from the back of the camera so that there is nothing showing. So far I've had no problems and it is working well.

The image is great and it is easy to rotate the camera. The night/dark vision is quite clear as well. The magnet that holds it hasn't slipped in the couple of weeks that I have had it up. The audio isn't very loud but I can hear the wind well.
