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.

not dependable!
on July 26, 2017

After having my 2 nest outdoor cams for 3 weeks, here are the pros and cons:
Pros:
1.Very clear picture
2. Can use 5ghz band resulting in less interference from other devices on my and neighbor’s 2.4ghz wireless bands.
Cons:
1.Reviewing saved videos with the Nest iOS and Apple TV 4 apps is terrible! Although I have high-speed internet service, I constantly get the “spinning wheel” buffering symbol while waiting for a video to open. The videos infrequently open and I have to close the app and reopen it to get it to even attempt to load them again. The saved video files can only be reliably opened and/or edited by using the Nest Aware feature (paid subscription) within a browser on a computer.
2.The video can only be viewed and stored with any decent resolution by using the Nest Aware paid subscription. There are instructional videos on the internet that will show you how to use various security camera computer applications to view, save and store your recorded nest cam videos locally to your home computer, but be aware that if you use one of the said programs, the bitrate will only be around 30kbps and frame rates will be between 7 and 9 fps-resulting in poor quality video. There is no way to change either of the rates to improve the quality. Therefore, Nest leaves their subscription as the only true option.
A hole of 7/8” inch minimum is required to pass the power cord through a wall.

Waste of time and money!

Made the mistake of purchasing these 8 of these cameras. After the initial set up of the cameras (which takes hours if they ever work) there were many daily network disconnects, I reset three of the cameras many times (5 hours today) and can't get them to set up again while using their frustrating app. I got temporary relief when I smashed one on the parking lot an hour ago! Still trying to get the other two to set up, but who knows, maybe I'll be smashing two more before too long! Put your money toward a better product! Would never recommend to anyone except an enemy!

Stay safe on the roads with this THINKWARE F750 TW-F750 dash cam, which warns you when your vehicle departs from the lane and when you are in danger of a front-end collision. Other safety alerts ensure awareness of red lights and speed cameras.

Complete waste of Money

Downloaded the Dash Cam app for both iOS and Android as I have both the iPhone 6 and Galaxy S5. I had problems trying to get Wi-Fi to work with both phones. When I finally did get it to connect, it would not reconnect after power down, unless I went back into my phone's Wi-Fi settings, deleted it and added it again. I couldn't get the unit to work properly. The Red Light and Speed warning worked one time only, but I could never get the Lane Departure or Forward Collision features to work. In Live View mode, the picture is terrible and has a great deal of artifacts and latency. I did multiple resets of the device to no avail. No physical manual comes with the camera-you have to download it from the MicroSD Card or Thinkware's website; this is very inconvenient when you are trying to troubleshoot problems. After 10 hours of trying to get the camera to work, I finally have given up and I will be returning it tomorrow.
