No Subscription Needed!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm using the Google Nest Outdoor Security Camera to monitor our pool area, and it's been a great setup for peace of mind. The video quality is clear day and night, and the wide view makes it easy to see what's going on outside at a glance. You can use this camera without a subscription and still get the live view, motion alerts, and short event clips, which is enough for everyday monitoring. I like knowing I'll get notified if there's movement near the pool even if I'm not checking the app constantly. With a subscription, you get longer video history and smarter event tracking, which is helpful if you want to go back and review activity from earlier days or missed alerts. I like having that-option, especially when we're away. Overall, it's easy to use, reliable, and works really well for outdoor areas like a pool where visibility and quick alerts matter.
