  • AI detection works well, Multi-camera subscription is well-priced, Good quality video and audio with minimal lag
  • Expensive, Single camera subscription is pricey
  • Overall, though, we do like the indoor Nest Cam. It's nicely made, and works very well. Object and facial recognition is superb, it's very responsive and, for setups involving multiple cameras, the Nest Aware subscription service is good value for money.W...

  • Compact and stylish, Easy to use, Good quality video
  • Very limited video history without subscription, Set up problems, Wire can move camera
  • The Nest Cam for 2021 (indoor, wired) is a nice little security camera from Google. It's compact, well-made and affordable for starts - although there are cheaper options on the market.Barring the frustrating setup process, the camera works very well via...

  • Decent image quality, clear night vision, alert notifications arrive promptly, pivoting base means it'll always be the right way up however you position it, improved Nest ecosystem integration, privacy mode when at home
  • Advanced motion sensing doesn't always work well enough, lacks user profiles for intelligent recognition, tied to monthly/annual fee cloud storage, no microSD for local storage, issues with outage (possibly network/overheating related?)
  • There's a lot to be said for expectation. With Nest being, well, Nest, we anticipated it was going to be a five-star home security camera. But it'd be a stretch to call it the best option going, given the advances other manufacturers have made in fa...

  • The Nest Cam is a well-made piece of hardware that delivers great video, even in the dark. However, the apps and website need a better interface for navigating the timeline and the iOS app needs more features, such as the ability to view your marked video...

  • If you don't need the outdoor ruggedness or the positional flexibility of the battery-powered Arlo system, then the Nest Cam is an excellent option for home monitoring – and the fact that it works with other Nest products makes it all the more attractive...

  • Like Dropcam Pro, Nest Cam is still just a webcam at heart. While it does offer security features like opt-in motion and sound alerts, they aren't especially useful since you can only receive one notification every 30 minutes
  • Given that Nest Cam and Dropcam Pro are pretty similar, it doesn't make a lot of sense for existing users to replace their Pro. But, budding DIYers searching for a high-res live streaming camera really can't beat Nest Cam...
