The camera itself is white, to prevent overheating. The Nest Cam Outdoor's speakers are at the bottom, so that the sound can bounce off of the wall and to minimize the need for waterproofing. The outdoor considerations don't end there it's not as simple as plopping an existing Nest Cam into a case. No outdoor camera is immune from tampering, and the convenience of not busting out the drill seems worth the trade-off. The downside to an outdoor plug is that it's that much easier for a thief to unplug it, but in that event you'll receive an alert and an image of the last thing the camera saw-presumably the face of the perp.
"And they remain off all the time, until they detect motion." Not only that, but Nest's wired version is one of the only on the market that lets you plug in outside-thanks to a rugged power plug-rather than drill a hole through the wall of your house to scavenge some electricity.

"We originally thought of a battery-powered solution, which are technically easy to install but also easy to steal," says Nest product manager Mehul Nariyawala. Still, a wired outdoor security camera arguably makes more sense than a battery-powered version, given that you’ll want as many assurances as possible that it’s actually working. The included AC adapter provides another 15 feet, which, come to think of it, 25 feet is still a little short. The weatherproof case and 10-foot cable lets you wire it up outside, even if 10 feet does sound really short. The big difference is, of course, you can use Nest Cam Outdoor outdoors. At $200, it even costs the same as its indoor counterpart.
It’s got a night-vision mode powered by eight infrared LEDs.

That’s good! It’s among the more capable home security cameras, with 1080p video quality, 130-degree wide-angle lens, and a two-way speaker so you can chat with interlopers. In many ways, Nest Cam Outdoor is identical to the original Nest Cam (itself essentially a rebranded Dropcam). The intrigue surrounding Nest these days-including the recent departure of its founder, Tony Fadell-overshadows some genuinely great products like the Nest Cam, which just leveled up with a new, outdoor-friendly rig.
