Easy to setup and use ; Excellent image quality in day and night ; Reliable motion detection ; Integration with other Nest products

No ‘Auto Away’ without a thermostat ; Expensive subscription plans ; Needs decent internet connection

A slick, competent home monitoring system, albeit that won’t suit every individual’s needs.

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?)

As home security cameras go it's a familiar tale: Nest Cam has got all the necessary notifications and back-up cloud storage options for a decent core experience, one with great quality Full HD video capture and Night Vision options.

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...

Nest Cam's high-resolution video (1080p), magnetic base, pivoting stand and updated app make this DIY device an improvement over Dropcam Pro -- and many other DIY cameras.

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.

Thinner design ; More mounting options ; Night vision ; Built-in microphone ; 1080p full HD video recording ; Easy to set up and use

Requires subscription service ; Enhance feature doesn't really do anything ; No way to change the time zone from Pacific Time to Eastern Time

The Nest Cam is a powerful Internet-connected security camera that's super easy to setup and use.

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.

Expanded mounting options ; 1080p video ; Clearnight vision

Subscription-based; no option for saving locally ; Doesn't talk toother connected devicesin the home ; Scrubbing through video on the web is frustrating

If you're the owner of a Dropcam Pro, don't bother upgrading to the Nest Cam. Sure the camera is better, but it's only a slight improvement, and with access to Nest's more polished apps, the Dropcam Pro is still a solid camera. If you need to watch...

Sleek, sturdy construction ; Accurate motion detection ; Easy-to-use app

Nest Aware subscription required to access most security features ; Sends alerts only once every 30 minutes ; Weak sound detection

Nest Cam doesn’t improve much on the Dropcam Pro, but it doesn’t need to. It’s an excellent camera if your serious about home security.
