What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the camera for excellent video clarity in day and night conditions, effortless setup, and strong magnetic mounting that works indoors and outdoors. Many highlight reliable motion detection, accurate alerts, and impressive battery life lasting weeks or months. However, a significant group expresses frustration with app compatibility issues and the transition away from legacy systems, feeling misled by the change. Some report inconsistent recording behavior and false alerts. Despite these concerns, most customers find the hardware performance and ease of installation worthwhile.

Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I added this camera to the front of my garage so I can see my driveway. It has an excellent picture night and day. The setup was extremely easy. I just had to scan a code and follow the instructions on my phone. Highly recommended!

Cool Cam
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The magnetic base for this wireless cam works very well for holding the cam in place. The obvious con here is anyone can just grab it (steal, vandalize or just play a prank). The battery lasts a while but that probably has more to do with how often it's recording. The video is very clear. Currently, using it for indoor use. The setup is not too frustrating, it sets up fairly quickly. I did not have a "nest" account, I had to set one up. Bu...

Flexibility to Install Anywhere
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ability to mount this anywhere and charge the battery is a feature I've been hoping for. I often set up the cameras to monitor different points in and around my home and the ability to move the camera from location A to location B is ideal for my use case. The video quality and ease of setup is wonderful. I enjoy using the Google Home app to see all my cameras in one app.

Great Product for Security!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The design is sleek and modern, even though it is outdoors, I did not want something that would distract from look of house. The installation of the camera was very easy. Most important, the installation of application and software was a breeze. Overall, it is great product that has truly met my expectations.

Ok so far
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ok so far. Compared to another similar, less expensive camera, the only benefit I have found is this camera is more suited for outdoor use. The magnet which secures the camera to the mount is very sturdy (I have wondered how to protect it against thieves if the camera was placed outside). There have also been black horizontal lines through the picture at various times and I cannot determine what is making it happen. Not sure I would buy aga...

Easy, sturdy, functional...a nice wireless option
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This indoor/outdoor Nest cam with rechargeable battery is a great product. Upon unboxing, the camera is held to the base by a very strong magnet. The base can be mounted wherever you can get a couple screws into a wall. It has two wall anchors and screws. Very simple install. The camera itself is solid and well built and has a nice aesthetic to it. I'm using it under the front porch overhang about 8 feet high so it's outdoors, but protect...

Horrible! Won’t pick up motion
Would Not RecommendThese cameras are horrible. I purchased these to monitor a second home when we are away. I need a camera to let me know when a vehicle enters the driveway etc. These cameras will not pick up motion until your almost right up on them. They all lag at recording. You miss half of what needs to be recorded. A waste of money!!
Good video quality
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This camera had good video quality but not the best. I do like that it can distinguish between animals, people, cars. What I don't particularly care for is that you only have 3 hours of video before its deleted, unless you subscribe to a subscription service. It was easy to install and get set up as well if you are willing to subscribe to the monthly subscription its a decent camera the picture at night isn't as great in the day though.

Works good
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nest cam is easy to set up and use. Can be used inside and out. Have also used arlo system and it is very similar. Nest has a bit bigger screen shot but arlo seems to be more sensitive and pick up movements

Indoor or Outdoor
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Upon opening, my first thought was this camera is heavy! But the magnetic strength is extremely strong, so it attaches to the base easily and firmly, but pivots for adjustment. I have an existing Nest account, with multiple equipment and locations, but haven’t merged it with Google home yet, and you must do that to set up this camera. You can’t unmerge, so I was hesitant to do it. But all the newer equipment is set up that way so it was time. ...

Easy setup, smart design
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] TLDR: This is an excellent security camera with some really great features. This webcam goes out of its way to make everything as easy as possible. Setting it up with the Google Home app was very quick and painless. I love the way magnetism is used to secure the cam to the base. The fact that it uses a battery means you don't have to worry about constantly powering it and taking it down to charge, thanks to the magnet, is a snap. I also ...

Easy install, works as anticipated
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We installed this light in the backyard and have been pleased with its performance. It has a bright light and provides a crisp inn my age. My only complaint is that you need a subscription to the Google Home app in order to use all the features.

I see you!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Installed this on my front porch and love it! I have a doorbell camera but this Nest Cam shows me a much clearer and larger area. I can see when packages are delivers and monitor them while we aren’t home. When we are out of town it’s just nice to see whats going on. The battery life is good and can’t really complain. I’m going to install more soon!

Love this camera!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this camera to keep an eye on my back door and the back yard. I love the panoramic view option. It works with my wifi. I can now see everything in my yard and can record what happens. I love the extra security. I would recommend this product.

Nest is better than blink
Would Not RecommendSuper easy to install and setup. Much better quality picture than the blink cameras. Also actually detects events unlike the blink ones i tried first.

easy to use
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Nest Cam is really easy. To set up and use. The magnetic base this holds the camera is great. It’s very easy to adjust the camera for optimal viewing angel. I use the camera outside to keep an eye on my dog. The features are great. It records movement so you can go back and review. The night vision works extremely well.
