Easy-to-use app and desktop controls
Smart alerts
Handy two-way communication

Strong picture quality (day and night)
Rugged and waterproof build
Integration with IFTTT and other products
Really easy to install
Powerful motion detection
Excellent video quality
Geofencing and scheduling
The editors didn't like
It must be said that the USB cable looks rather odd
Emerging from the chin of the camera and not out through the bracket
Which also leaves it vulnerable to burglars
Who might like to steal the camera itself. It is rather expensive and fixed to the wall
Installation pains
Wi-Fi connectivity issues
Costly subscription prices
Not really a secure security camera
The alerts are still sporadic -- you won't get one every time activity takes place. If you want Person Alerts and select other advanced features
You will have to pay a monthly fee for the Nest Aware service
Nest Aware subscription service is too expensive
Some issues with getting the camera online
Functionality is limited without buying Nest Aware
The cameras have worked flawlessly since they were installed and I've been impressed with the quality. Having professional installation available is a great benefit.Do I feel more secure now? Absolutely, and peace-of-mind is something that it's hard to pu...

As a secure security camera the Nest Cam Outdoor is somewhat lacking. But as a smart camera for the home it certainly has a lot of great features.We like the quality of the footage for both day and night capture, the alert system for people detection, and...

Nest Cam Outdoor is up there with Netgear's Arlo as a highly recommendable DIY outdoor camera -- you'll just have to decide if you'd rather deal with Nest's power cord or Arlo's batteries...
Easy to install, Continuous recording with Nest Aware, Doesn't flood you with motion alerts
Easy to steal or knock down, Relies on subscription service for advanced features, Scheduling doesn't play nicely with geolocation
Although there are newer, higher-resolution outdoor cameras available, the Nest Cam Outdoor is still an excellent choice for most people. With its continuous recording, high-quality video, gentle alerts and simple installation, this camera strikes the rig...
Abstract: This isn't the typical camera review; however, the Nest security camera has a very special place in my heart over the recent months. It's helped me identify and catch a couple raccoons and, most recently, a pair of burglars/vandals who broke into my books...
