Nest Cam setup and review
The simplicity of setting this up makes it quick and easy for any homeowner or business. Make sure you dowload the Nest app and register an account. Also make sure you do the setup before mounting this camera. The easy setup relies on the QR code scan. The QR code just happens to be at the back of the camera.
Now I need to mention that the Nest Cam gets hot. Definitely more than the other two brands I run and have tested. I am not sure why it gets so much hotter. If that disrupts the functions I will update the review. Remember this is not an outdoor camera, strictly indoor and away from long periods of direct sunlight.
I decided to leave it at 720p (the default) instead of 1080p to save one some bandwidth. The auio listening ability worked great as well as the ability to talk through the camera. I show both of those in the review video.

I tested nightvision and the clarity was excellent. It picked up ambient light and gave a great image. You can see the tin the video as well.
It comes with a decently long cord and mounting hardware. It is not meant to swivel 360 degrees so plan the angle and use the 180 degree tilt ability I show. The metal plate for mounting has screws underneath to use. Or you can detach the camera and mount on any standard camera mount which was a great feature.
Now I mention in the headline that it gets hot. Definitely more than the other two brands i run and have tested. I am not sure why it gets so ugh hotter. If that disrupts the functions I will update the review. Remember this is not an outdoor camera, strictly indoor and away from long periods of direct sunlight.
