Great starter camera

I would recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Camera quality
Unreliable
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I know things are not always perfect, but when someone tries to break into your home and the camera doesn't detect the person's motion from 10-15ft in front of it, it's sad (for the cost and what's advertised). When a camera doesn't detect or alert you for simple things, like a person going back and forth while cutting the lawn, its sad. Situations like this when it doesn't detect the people that aren't being sneaky (in my case, and the person that was sneaky) happens all too often smh. Those are my experiences with this camera, to me it lacks, motion detection and alerts/notifications. I thought this would give me some kind of peace of mind, but not at all reliable enough to do so. But I will say the video quality is excellent, even at night.

Posted .Hi Ricky,
Thanks for sharing your feedback on Nest Cam Outdoor. We're are truly sorry for this unpleasant experience. We understand how frustrating it can be when your product doesn't work as expected at such a critical time..
We'd like to know more on why your Nest Cam Outdoor wasn't able to detect this activity, so that we can help accordingly. In the meantime, we can suggest the steps below to make sure the issue wasn't due to external factors:
- Clean the lens with a soft cloth that’s made for cleaning optics. Dust, thumbprints, and dirt can cause poor image quality.
- Turn your camera so that any nearby surfaces or objects (like a wall) are out of view.
- Use the Nest app to zoom and enhance and crop out surfaces or objects that may be causing glare.
- If you see a bright white shape along the edge while everything else is too dark, there might be a surface that’s too close in your camera’s view (like a wall). Angle your camera so the surface stays out of view.
- Move nearby objects that may be reflecting the infrared light.
If you're willing, please reach out to us to take a closer look at your case. You can contact us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/contactflow
Nest cam 2 pack
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was in the market for cams, bought Arlo initially. While Arlo had some nice features, nest has blown it out of the water.

||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a fine product! Wi-Fi based connection is really convenient. Highly recommend this one.
I would recommend this to a friendDaylight
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good for daylight monitoring, night vision is okay but poor when zoomed in. Push to talk then push again to listen slow, by the time you push to stop talking the other person has already replied and you missed it. I have KASA cameras and for free I can review recorded videos at least two weeks in the past, no fee and download as well. So I don’t think I will pay the $6.00 a month for that service.

Posted .Hi Lancaster,
Thanks for sharing your experience with us. We appreciate your feedback as it helps us keep improving our products and services.
We recommend you to try some steps below for the delays you highlighted:
1. If you have a lot of open apps on your phone, they can slow down its overall performance. Try closing some apps, including the Nest app, and then re-open only the Nest app to view your video.
2. If the delay is 10 seconds or more and it happens after you’ve been watching video in the Nest app for a long time, re-load your camera’s feed: navigate back to the Nest app’s home screen and tap on your camera again to refresh the connection.
3. The video can be delayed if your camera, phone, tablet or computer is connected to a Wi-Fi extender, which adds extra relay time to any device that’s using it. If you’re using an extender in your home, connect your camera directly to your Wi-Fi router to help reduce the delay:
- from the Nest app home screen, tap Settings
- then select Home info and
- then choose Home Wi-Fi help and then
- Select your camera and then Update settings.
- Be sure to pick your Wi-Fi router and not the extender.
We also suggest making sure your Wi-Fi network has sufficient bandwidth to accommodate the data transfer from your Nest camera. A minimum of 2Mbps network bandwidth is needed for an effective streaming experience.
We'd love to assist you further to learn more about what is going on regarding the Talk and Listen feature of your Nest Cam Outdoor and improve your experience. You can always rely on us for your support needs if you can reach out us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
