Reviews & Ratings
- Picture quality
- Scope of functions
- No SD card slot
The surveillance camera from the tech company Google is anything but inconspicuous due to its dimensions, but it monitors your home safely and reliably. It is available in two versions - with or without a battery. The battery version we tested is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use...
- Good recordings
- Usable indoors and outdoors
- Battery operation
- Many functions only with subscription
- No photos possible
Many functions are only available with a subscription, which is why the Nest is only ranked fifth. In terms of picture quality, however, it belongs to the top group.

In the test, the Nest Cam Indoor and Nest Cam Outdoor were particularly convincing due to the very good overall package of hardware and software. Not only the technical side and the very good workmanship of the cameras are convincing and make it clear that the buyer is not dealing with a cheap webcam, but also the setup, use and the app are convincing...
