Never Again!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Installed 1st camera, had problems from day one with wifi dropping. Added a mesh system to improve wifi coverage to no avail. Wifi was continually dropping out, toward the end it dropped the signal so much that i just HAD it with the Nest cameras. When i replaced the security cameras at our home,i went to a POE setup and have been pleased. Also, the pixel quality for things like reading a license plate or graphics on side of a vehicle was terrible. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY on this. Also, installation "is just plug and play." They don't tell you that to plug it in requires you figuring out how to get their 3" hockey puck sized power adapter into the attic or wherever you're going to install it. It was a GLORIOUS day when i cut the cord on this camera and threw it in the recycle bin!!!

Good camera but why all the wiring
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Personally I think they need to have more outdoor options for cameras. The wiring can’t be cut so you’d have to have it dangling and zip tied

Expected a lot more.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased these for a customer of mine so they would have access to their property while on vacation. I installed for cameras and only two of them worked. I replaced the two with new ones and they worked, but had issues connecting to Wi-Fi. I had to spend another $500 on an eero system to make them work. If I had known this from the beginning, I would not have purchased them. When they do work, they're great. Too many issues.

Posted .We're sorry to hear about the connection issues you've experienced with the Nest Cam outdoor. Because these are installed outside, we suggest using the 2.4Ghz network to connect them as the physical interference of the house can effect the connectivity, and the 2.4Ghz network is able to get through walls easier than the 5Ghz. Feel free to reach out to us through any of our support channels if we can assist with any issues in the future. Nest.com/help

Mounting is not good for an outside camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.No one wants a camera mount that you can take a broom or stick and knock it off the mount.. No one wants a camera cable that you have to drill a 1/2" hole in the house to run the lines.. The wires should come out of the bottom of the base, hidden.. The camera itself is not secure! I bought one and returned it.. Poor design.. Needs multi-colors.. Brown, Cream, Chemo.. Houses outside have multi-colors..

Not reliable.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these cameras to monitor my property while I was out of the country. The cameras quit working 5 days into my trip. The internet went down for a short time and when it came back on, the cameras didn’t. My previous camera system always reconnected after an outage. For the price I paid, I expected this would not be a problem. Don’t buy these cameras if you’re looking for reliability and piece of mind.

Functions Only Intermittently
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I followed the directions for installation and it found my wireless connection just fine when plugged into the computer. I then moved it to the location I wanted it to be in - in a window - and tested it just inside the window and it worked fine. I then installed it in the outside of the window and it has constantly lost the signal. I checked the signal strength with my laptop and it gets a connection just fine (4 bars), so it appears to be a problem with the camera. I called the company and spent an hour with their tech people but in the end they had no solution other than the camera might have a problem getting a signal thru the glass. Has anyone else had this problem? By the way the router is about 30 feet from the camera, although there are a couple of walls between them (but note that my notebook worked just fine in the same location). Oh, and the tech suggested I get a router range extender – but I am not keep on spending more money on something that may or may not help.

Good camera, terrible program
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this camera in December and have had miserable support from Google. The cameras arbitrarily drop our phones from the program, stop live filming, etc. and you can’t contact Google directly for help, you have to go through Facebook, and type your questions. We are just about ready to pull this camera and go with another that has competent support.

Posted .Hi Barb,
Thanks for sharing your feedback with us. It's very unfortunate to hear you're dealing with this difficulty.
Live streaming and playback in the Nest app is heavily dependent on your Wi-Fi network. Slow download and upload speeds could cause the Nest app to stop playing the live stream as well as stored videos since videos are stored in the cloud. Decongesting your network by temporarily removing some connected devices can help isolate this further. If there is a congestion, we suggest contacting your internet service provider for a resolution. Also, a firewall or other IT policies in place on your network may also prevent your video from loading properly. You can check your firewall settings to fix this issue.
We'd happy to learn more on what's going on to help you further if you can contact us by visiting https://support.google.com/googlenest/contactflow
