Description

Combine the Google Nest Cam Outdoor with a Google Nest Hub to directly see on screen what is going on around your house. You can mount the camera outdoors to keep an eye on your garden or driveway. By linking it to the Nest Hub, you no longer need a phone to view the footage. When the camera detects movement or sound, you'll immediately see live footage on the screen of the hub. The screen of the smart home hub also shows the weather, your calendar, or a recipe. This comes in handy if you want to read along with a recipe while cooking. Thanks to the speech recognition, you can use the speaker with up to 6 people. With the two-way audio of the IP camera, you can listen in and talk back remotely.

Google Nest Cam IQ: High-Quality Ease of Use

Simple and quick installation
Very good image quality
Fast motion detection and notifications
Nest Aware required for all features

The Google Nest Cam IQ is an IP camera with a beautiful design. As I am used to from Nest, even the packaging looks slick. I like the camera better than the regular Nest Cam. This is mainly due to its color and the fact that the camera is attached to the holder.

High quality materials I think the Nest IQ looks good. Many IP cameras are made of cheaper material, for example with a shiny plastic housing. That is not the case with this camera. It has a sleek design and matte finish. This makes it not very noticeable, but it does look nice on my closet. Judging by the looks and the price, this is a high-end camera, I'm curious about the functionality.

Quickly finished the installation The Nest Cam IQ is installed in a jiffy. After opening the Nest app on my phone, I press 'add product' in the app settings. After that, all I need to do is scan the QR code on the camera and go through some steps. All in all, it takes me less than 5 minutes to see the first camera images in the app. If you don't already have an account, the installation may take a minute longer. Creating an account also takes little effort.

Excellent image quality What strikes me at first use is the high quality of my camera images. Due to the good WiFi signal where my Nest IQ is located, there is no delay in the images. The camera automatically zooms in on moving people without much loss of quality. I think image quality in the dark is important, because this often disappoints me with IP cameras. With this camera, however, faces are quite distinguishable. Excellent image quality in the dark!

Motion Detection and Notifications I notice that the camera reacts quickly when it detects movement. I regularly receive notifications so that I am immediately aware of activity. He does this consistently and without errors: there are no incorrect movement reports. After a few days of trying, I don't feel that the camera lacks movement. My experience is that the motion detection works fine.

Subscription Fee The main drawback of the Nest Cam IQ is that you need a subscription to store images and use other features. You pay a monthly amount for this. You actually need the subscription to make full use of the camera. For example, facial recognition and setting activity zones without a Nest Aware subscription is not possible. Because several useful options expire without a subscription, I recommend taking a subscription. Therefore, take into account additional monthly costs after purchasing the camera.

Gambled and ..... won.

Perfect picture and sound
nice design
Listen and speak live
Hugely thick USB plug

On December 30, I already posted a review about this camera here. I bought it for the backyard and my conclusion was that this camera is perfect for the backyard, but not suitable for the front of my house. The camera is equipped with a 22 mm thick USB plug. Since I (and most of me) don't have access to a socket at the front of the house, it takes quite a bit of effort to lead that thick plug through a window frame or wall. If you wanted to drill a hole that big..... So I really didn't intend to and with that the expansion of my Nest cameras came to an end. Or not?

It wouldn't let go and the only option I could imagine was to cut the cable, drill a small hole, feed the cable through and reassemble it. With a camera of Â€199.00, that is a very expensive experiment... So I first bought a short USB extension cable, cut it and put it back together and connected the camera to it. And guess what.....the camera worked like a charm!

So then I took the gamble. Cut the wire 20 cm from the plug. Drilled a small hole through the door frame and threaded the wire inside. Then the mounting plate of the camera is screwed tightly onto the cable on the frame and the cam is attached. This makes the cable sit tight under the foot and is therefore much less easy to sabotage.

The cable consists of four wires: A red and black wire for the power supply and a white and green wire for the data (the nest cam only uses the power wires and not those for the data). Put the wires back together, each wrapped with a piece of aluminum foil and then taped around with insulating tape. Plug in the socket inside the house and a super working outdoor cam in the front of my house!!

In the photos the confirmation of the camera and the quality of the image.

Gambled and won!

This Nest Cam Outdoor will become an option for many more people in this way! Please note: I did this at my own risk and this method also voids the warranty on this product!! This option is therefore entirely at your own expense and risk!! But successful for me! :-)

Super camera for the garden; not for the front door...

Good image quality
Beautiful Design
Great sound quality
An outdoor socket is a prerequisite for installation

I already owned two Nest Cams for indoor use. They liked it very much! It is very easy to install and the images are super sharp. In addition, the cam also looks nice (=personal) and that is also very important to me at home. Through the app I always have an overview of my house, belongings and my cats. Really a top product!

I had previously taken out a subscription with Nest for these Nest Cams. That subscription is necessary to be able to use all functions of the camera, such as reviewing the images, recording clips and setting security zones. After a subscription for the first product (Â€ 10.00 p/m) you will receive a 50% discount on the subscription price for every product you add afterwards (so Â€ 5.00 per extra product). Quite pricey, but then you also get something....

I've been looking forward to an outdoor version of the Nest Cam for a long time. I wanted a cam in my backyard and at the front door. Surely it is better to catch someone who wants evil before he/she is already in your house. And when that cam finally launched, I was happy but also quite disappointed!

Nest had decided to design a camera that has the cable at the bottom of the camera (and is therefore quite easy to cut) and has also provided that cable with a MEGA thick (water-resistant) USB plug of 20 mm to connect.

When installing the Outdoor Cam, Nest assumes that you have a socket on the outside of your house and legitimizes (on request) the cable at the bottom of the cam by stating that the person who wants to sabotage that cable will case is on cam .... That is straight talk which is crooked.

In my opinion, the outdoor cam is therefore primarily designed for the American market and not for the European/Dutch market. In the suburbs there are mainly wooden houses where it is easier to run the cable inside. Here in the Netherlands you usually don't have a socket at the front of your house and you therefore have to drill a 22mm (!) hole through your wall to be able to connect things indoors. And so I'm not going to do that.

Finally bought a Nest Cam Outdoor at Coolblue for my backyard. I have a socket there so that I can connect the cam outdoors and (indeed) before someone is at the cam and would want to sabotage it, I already have a message and he / she is already on recorded video.

The installation took me about an hour. Registering the Outdoor Cam on the previously installed Nest app was done in 5 minutes. Egg. You do that at home before you go outside with the cam. Once in the garden it becomes a "thing". First of all, you have to determine the location where you are going to hang the Outdoor Cam and there must therefore be a good WiFi range and there must be a socket nearby. The latter is not really a challenge, because you get all together 7.5 meters of cable! Make sure that your WiFi range is sufficient outside, otherwise it really makes no sense! Then it just won't do it. It is wise to check this in advance before ordering!

With the Nest app on my iPhone in one hand and the Outdoor Cam in the other, I looked for the best location. Nest advises to hang the cam between 2 and 3 meters high and who am I to argue with that... After determining the location, drilled two holes to screw the supplied metal plate against the wall. The magnetic holder for the cam fits there, which is immediately wall-mounted. You can then attach and aim the Outdoor Cam there. And fixed is really fixed!. The cam is hanging! Then neatly fix the wire along the door frame with the supplied clips. Nest really supplies everything you need to install the Outdoor Cam. Top!

Overall, I'm very pleased with this addition to the Nest range. An Outdoor Cam that looks neat with a perfect picture and sound. But for the backyard.

In the images accompanying this review you can see my installation of the Outdoor Cam on the outside wall of my garden and the quality of its image. I am satisfied!

I would have liked to order a second Nest Outdoor Cam for my front door, but unfortunately I don't see any options for installing it there due to the size of the USB plug.

In my eyes a huge miss from Nest.

Anyone have a tip?
