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.
I'm super happy with my new outdoor nest cam. The hardest part of the setup was drilling holes and hanging 2 plates. Took about 30 minutes for the installation and camera setup. Way faster than the D-Link cameras I have indoors. I have D-Link cameras inside because I was looking for something with PIR motion detection to reduce false alarms with cars going by and the sun on partly cloudy days, so I was a bit apprehensive about false alarms with this camera, but I've been pretty obsessed all weekend watching LIVE and the sightline has true notifications. You can hover over the dot to see if it is the neighborhood cat or something you want to watch. This 1 watches my vehicle, back door and both back windows and the best part is it sends notices, so I will have time before they get in. It is installed 65 feet from my router with no problems. Already planning where I'm putting my front door cam. I know a lot of reviewers say the monthly fee is a con, but I find the off-site recording is necessary since they are stealing the cameras too now. Try to make it as hard as possible and take a picture of the back of your camera before mounting it, so you have those numbers. I feel the only con is the attached cord and limited length. Being attached makes it hard to fish in and out of tight spaces and I don't like using extension cords for the fire hazard factor.
