Gabe: Hi everybody, this is Gabe at Security Baron.
Today, we are unboxing the Nest Secure alarm system with the Nest Cam Outdoor.
[music]
Gabe: Boom!
Open her up, Johnny.
First thing I see is, let's get started.
[pause]
Gabe: Now we're looking at the Nest Cam Outdoor.
Oh, wow, comes already ready for you.
Take that off.
Interesting, interesting.
This is a very different design than what we've seen.
It's already come connected to the power cord and the adapter.
I am now seeing that you cannot remove that.
It has to be set up this way.
I also note that the end is USB.
I'm assuming this will go into an adapter.
There's a pretty long cord, it's gray, very sleek design.
I am just a little bit surprised about the fact that you cannot detach it.
Let's get everything out of the box before I go deeper into that.
We have some literature, welcome home and Nest Cam Outdoor installation guide.
Put this aside for a second.
What do we have here?
Not a ring.
This is the mounting, everything to mount the camera.
I'm not going to take these all out here, but you see all the screws on the mounting
elements here.
Keep that here.
Place to hold it up.
Hold up, even more.
Even a longer cord so you can extend it even further.
This piece goes into there like that and more pieces to mount.
This outdoor cam is really different than anything we've seen so far when it comes to
outdoor cameras.
One, you cannot take out the power adapter, it is attached to the base of the camera itself.
You see that you've got speakers, a microphone and this long cord.
Before we get too further, this is also pretty long cord and you can attach it with the wall
plate.
It tells you here, remember to screw in the wall plate before attaching me.
You have that there.
This would definitely give you well over, I would say 20 feet, for setting up your outdoor
cam.
This is a lot more static.
There's no real swivel or rotation.
You're going to have to set it up and be ready to go.
It's a white with a gray cord, QR code for setting it up with your Nest app.
I'll go ahead and take that piece off.
You got a glossy finish.
I like it because it does protrude a little bit, but it's not exactly flush.
As you can see, it protrudes a bit, but it's a nice design.
You've got that glossy black.
You can definitely see a little bit of infrared action.
We will definitely get a look later at how well it works in the dark.
Those are [inaudible 4:47] the components of the outdoor camera.
Let's talk about set up.
Now I always loved this part with the Nest cams because it's pretty cool and it's like
the best way to set things up I think.
That is your magnet.
You're going to want to think about where you place your Nest Cam Outdoor.
One, you're going to want to try to avoid direct sunlight.
You're going to want to avoid putting it inside of a plant because that might grow to obscure
your vision.
You're going to want to make sure it's high enough that it can capture everything and
maybe hopefully not be too visible to someone who may be looking out for a camera.
You're going to put it between 7 to 10 feet above everything that's going on.
Then, of course, you'll add these pieces together using the mounting plates and the mounting
screws.
You're going to want to also make sure it's within WiFi range because the best part about
having the Nest Cam is that you can use the Nest app.
You can talk to it.
You can use your Google Assistant, your Google Home.
I'll go ahead and show you right here how to set it up.
Of course, you're going to want to put it outside, it is an outdoor cam.
Nest has plenty of indoor cameras.
Let's take it apart.
You got your QR code here, but before you can jump into that, you'll need to plug it
in.
You plug this in like so.
I'm actually going to go ahead and let this run a bit.
Now take this.
Now that we're plugged up, you can see that the camera's already on and ready to be added
to the system.
Now, Nest makes it really easy for you to go in and add it, so let's go ahead and do
that.
Of course, you're going to unplug it later to set it up outside.
Great thing about Nest is that if you unplug it, it's very easy to get it going again.
I've had experiences with some cameras where you unplug it and you're kind of done.
Go ahead and open up that Nest app, go to add a product, I'll place it here, boom.
It's now just looking for the WiFi networks.
You hear the chime and now you know it's connected.
It's been added to your account.
You should see live video.
There we go.
That's our first look at the Nest Cam Outdoor with a little bit of set up.
Honestly, I'm looking forward to seeing how well it performs out in elements.
