When installed, the Nest Cam Outdoor provides a 130-degree view. The camera has eight powerful infrared LEDs and its Night Vision illuminates the entire scene. The presence of Nest app allows users to keep an eye on the live video from anywhere and anytime.
The Nest Cam Outdoor has a built-in microphone and speaker that allows users to listen and talk to people in front of the camera. This feature is ideal for those who want to instruct people, for example, a delivery man on how to leave a package.
Subscribers of Nest Aware, who own Dropcam, Nest Cam Outdoor and Nest Cam Indoor, also benefit from continuous recording throughout the day and night. The recordings are stored in the cloud.
