Easy to set up and great quality
It is easy to install and set up. The USB power cable supplies power only. The pictures are streamed to the Nest cloud service over wifi. This takes most of the technical difficulties out of installation and set up.
My only complaint is the USB power cable has a 20mm diameter water proof sleeve around the connector which requires a very hole through the outside wall. A cable designed for internal power connection would be much more sensible.
Once the hole was drilled, it is simple to plug the USB cable into a mains adapter. The Nest app scans a barcode to add the camera and connect it to and it connected quickly to wifi and the Nest app.
The picture quality is very clear. The Nest cloud service uses artificial intelligence to send alerts and record clips when a person or movement is detected. It is easy for the user to draw polygons to define activity zones, so alerts are sent for movement in a garden, but not by passer bys in the road.
