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.

Easy set up. Can be plugged outside. Picture is great. Night vision is amazing as well. If you don’t need Face ID for your camera, this is enough.

This is indeed a smart camera made by NEST. Very good to have while you’re not home, it continuously monitor indoor and outdoor. Only thing I don’t agree with are the monthly cost of cloud storage 30 day and 10 Days. The product is already expensive. Why pay more for 30-day or 10 day storage.

Works great. Easy install with the magnet and cord has plenty of length. Synced to my other nest items easily. Great image quality and live the instant email and txt alerts when motion is detected.

These cameras have a sharp image for being just 1080p. Pretty good image at night as well with the infrared night vision. Added several of these around the house for security and theft deterrent. People notifications work great, and they don't false trigger for other objects and bushes/trees moving. The app lets you set the notifications to only notify you when a person is walking around. Easy to add to my WiFi network, and comes with the hardware needed to mount to a wall. I drilled a hole inside my garage and mounted the camera outside, and ran the cable inside.

The Nest system is simple to set up and easy to use. The video is clear, even at night. We subscribe to their service for 10–day archives which is very reasonably priced

I install the nest Wi-Fi last year and this year install the Google cameras. I also ended up buying the nest aware membership which was a completely elegant experience to have with this cameras. The quality of the cameras is good during the daylight time however the night time it is recorded in black and white and there are some minor details missing such as the license plates of the cars and other vehicles. The camera and nest app does a pretty good job in detecting the motions and delivering those notifications to your phone.

They are easy to setup. Effortless to add to Nest account and the night vision is great. Its winter time now so I shall have to see how it holds up in 116 degree heat. The box say its only rated up to 104. They aren't in direct sunlight so I hope that will keep them from malfunctioning.

These cameras are easily hidden, not bulky and ambiguous to those in their view. They pick up good sound quality and the hold storage for up to 10 days (could be upgraded for a longer storage time). Upon buying the cameras I was not informed that there was a trial period involved for all of its features, after that you pay for upgraded features. Overall good product, could be better. Sometimes these cameras lapse and do not report activity for long periods of time. I would recommend to anyone who just generally wants to look over their property, but would recommend something a bit more functional for those protecting their spaces for safety reasons.

I put off installing this for a week after it arrived because I was dreading having to route the power cord through the garage wall. The only down side to this is that the hole needed to be 7/8" in diameter to get the plug through. Not the end of the world, but drilling it took a while! Was totally worth it in the end! The camera records great video and knows how to detect people vs. other motion. The app is very intuitive and quick to navigate to events. Events show up on my smart watch zoomed into whatever caused the motion alert. The app and camera are very configurable - it's a polished product that a lot of thought has gone into, and they got it right.

Bought these cameras to add to my collection of Google Nest products. So far I have had no issues. Easy installation as we did not hard wire them we have them plugged in and hid the wire around the outside window casing. The range is perfect along with the night vision. I love the fact that I can also listen and talk through my NEST app for each camera. I highly recommend Google Nest to all looking for a better solution to security without the high cost and monthly fees.

the 1080p quality is great, very simple to set up, and if you don't want to climb a ladder to re-connect the cam to your network when you change your network name, I suggest to write down the code on the back and just type it into the app using the option "no QR Code" and it works. I HIGHLY suggest running these cams on a 5 GHz network because 2.4 GHz disconnects ALL the time! A lot of interference on 2.4 GHz networks. (always add a password to your WPA2-PSK [AES] network)

The camera is easy to setup and install is quick with all necessary items included like screws, brackets, etc. The extra long power cable is great. Looking forward to adding more cameras to my setup. Only negative would be the voice capability is frustrating sometimes as push to talk creates delays and getting used to waiting takes some time.

What I like about this camera is that is really is easy to use, easy to install, and easy to maintain. I already have a few nest products at home so I don't have to create another account with another password and another application. This camera talks to each other so I don't have to check multiple apps to get updates of my home. The quality is really good, but only if you have strong wi-fi, so make sure you put your router close by your cameras to avoid any interruptions. What I don't like - while this is wireless in terms of streaming and internet connectivity. You still need to find a place to route the power cord. It does include a 25ft cable, but that really is not long enough if I want to put one in the back of the house and route the power cable on the inside.

Great camera. Clear photos and video. Occasionally disconnects with WiFi but that could be where I have it. Never misses an event/motion.

This a wonderful camera for the person that is non-technical or doesn’t want to invest $900 on a complete NVR-based system. This camera is very easy to install and configure from your mobile app. All of your surveillance video is securely stored in cloud. Since Google purchased Nest they’ve restructured the pricing for the recorded material for the budget minded. The video quality is excellent at 1080p but the best part of the whole system is the mobile app interface. They are constantly making it feature packed with ease of use in mind.

Nest Aware should be purchased if you want to take a full advantage of this camera. Without that, it will just take a photo even activity occurs, but it's hard to imagine what actually happened and cannot see the face of the person. Otherwise, it's pretty stable and works well.

Did a lot of research & believe the Google Nest Cam is one of the best on the market. The wiring and hardware that comes with the camera makes it a quick, clean, easy install, and syncing the camera to Wi-Fi is fast & simple, The 1080p picture & video quality is very good, and all of the software options of the camera are very good as well. I picked up the 2-pack for $399 which is a great price since these are $299 ea. most of the time. You can’t go wrong with this outdoor camera.

My only complaint is the wire to power it has a very large round bump on the charging cord, so if you have to drill a hole to feed it outside, the hole is the size of a wine bottle cork. So I used a Winking Owl wine cork to fill the hole in. Otherwise it is a great camera. The definition of the objects it is recording is excellent.
