Google - Nest Cam Outdoor security camera
Google - Nest Cam Outdoor security camera
Meet the Nest Cam Outdoor security camera. It stands watch 24/7, rain or shine. Plugs into power so you never have to worry about dead batteries. And sends an alert to your phone when it detects activity. It even lets you talk back through the Nest app. This is what an outdoor security camera should be.

Good quality camera, has a few flaws
on November 1, 2016
Posted by: jdfokc
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Good:
- Great video quality
- Very cool DVR-type interface
- Solid build quality
- People detection with a sub to nest aware (The only reason I kept this camera)
- Setup was a breeze
The Bad:
- The cord and camera are soft white in color, therefore get dirty quite fast
- The web interface requires Adobe Flashplayer (WTF? heard of HTML5??)
- The cost! At $200, and at least $10/mo to get usage out of it!
- The Nest app will nag you until you subscribe to nest aware
- Actual installation is a pain. If you don't have a power outlet nearby, you either need to run an extension cord, or drill a 7/8" hole in a wall just to fit the massive plug through. They could definately use to simplify the power options. Having a brick home and drilling a 7/8" hole took quite a bit of effort.
- The zone detection gets triggered way too easily (birds, cats, wind blowing tree shadows, just no better than any other camera with motion detection
