About the Nest Dropcam Pro

Quick and easy home security

The Nest Dropcam Pro lets you check in at home using your smartphone, tablet or computer — whether you're around the block or across the country. Just plug in your camera and launch the Dropcam app on your phone and you'll be streaming video and receiving alerts in moments. The Dropcam is your eyes, ears and even your voice when you're away from home — each camera has a microphone and speaker built in, so you can verbally check in with kids, elderly parents or pets while you're at work.

The Dropcam is your eyes, ears and even your voice when you're away from home — each camera has a microphone and speaker built in, so you can verbally check in with kids, elderly parents or pets while you're at work.

Note: Dropcam does use one USB cord for power, but communicates with your device wirelessly.

Part of your whole-home Nest system

The Dropcam Pro is compatible with other Nest home automation devices:

Your Nest devices work together to give you more control over home security. If your smoke detector sends you an alert while you're at work, you can turn on your Nest camera and assess the situation instantly, then use the camera's microphone and speakers to warn anyone who might be home. Even better, if your Nest Protect senses rising levels of carbon monoxide, your Nest Thermostat can automatically turn off your gas furnace.

More details on the Nest Dropcam Pro

Product Research

Features

Overview: Dropcam Pro is a small, Wi-Fi-capable camera that can help you keep an eye on your home or office. It can securely stream live HD video to your computer, or to an iPhone, iPad, or Android device. It works as a standalone home surveillance camera, or in conjunction with The Nest Protect Smoke and CO alarm and the Nest Thermostat. The Dropcam Pro comes with a 10' Micro USB cable, AC adapter, and a wall-mount bracket.

Installing: Dropcam Pro is mounted to a 3" diameter base, and can tilt up to 180°. It can be placed on a shelf or tabletop, or wall mounted using the included bracket. Dropcam Pro is powered by the supplied AC adapter (5V 2A). The camera is designed to operate with 802.11b/g/n networks on 2.4 GHz frequency bands.

Dropcam App: You can view streaming video from your Dropcam on your iPhone, iPad, or Android device through the free Dropcam App. The app is compatible with Phone 4S or later, iPad 3 or later, iPad mini, and iPod touch 5th gen or later, running iOS 6 or later. It is also compatible with all Samsung devices running Android 4.3 or later, and LG Nexus 5.

Cloud Recording: Dropcam lets you view live streaming on your computer or mobile device. The optional Cloud Recording service lets you save the past 7 or 30 days of video footage in the cloud for review at any time. The service can create a time lapse of an event, or of an entire day, that you can watch in 60 seconds. You can make and save clips to share with friends or family. Custom activity zones can be created to keep an eye on specific areas in your home. Current rates (as of January 2015) are $9.95 per month/$99 per year for 7-day rolling recording service, and $29.95 per month/$299 per year for 30-day recording.

Works With Nest: When Dropcam is added to a home network that includes Nest products, additional features are available. If the Nest Protect Smoke and CO Detector sounds an Emergency Alarm, all of the Dropcams will turn on and start recording video automatically. The recording will continue for 1 hour, or until the Nest Protect senses that the smoke or carbon monoxide has subsided. When paired with a Nest Thermostat, the Dropcams in your home can be set to automatically turn on when you switch to the Away setting on the Thermostat. When you return, and manually set the Thermostat to the Home setting, the Dropcams will automatically turn off. This feature does not work with Nest Thermostat's Auto-Away feature.

Activity Alerts: Dropcam can detect and alert you to either motion in your video or sound picked up by the microphone on the camera. When activity is detected, or if Dropcam is offline, an alert is sent to your mobile device (through the Dropcam App), or to your Dropcam account.

Camera Settings: Using the Dropcam App or your Dropcam Account, you can change the following settings:

  • Camera On/Off: lets you turn the camera video streaming on or off
  • Status Light: turns the status light on or off
  • HD Video: turns HD video on or off (to save bandwidth)
  • Night Vision: activates ring of IR LEDs used for night vision. You can set to Auto, or manual on/off
  • Rotate Image: rotates the video 180° in case you have to invert and mount on the ceiling
  • Audio: turns the camera's microphone on or off
  • Microphone Sensitivity: if microphone is on, this slide control adjusts the mic's sensitivity
  • Camera Scheduling: allows you to set daily schedules for your camera to be on or off
  • Location Schedule: For iOS only, this setting allows you to turn the camera on or off using the location of your iPhone.
  • Dropcam CVR: lets you see your current CVR (cloud video recording) subscription
  • Detect Motion Events: allows you to enable or disable the camera to detect motion events
  • Detect Sound Events: allows you to enable or disable the camera to detect sound events
  • Wi-Fi Network: indicated which Wi-Fi network your camera is connected to.
  • Deactivate The Camera: If you want to use the camera in a different Dropcam account, sell or give away the camera, you must first deactivate it.

You will want to contact an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat to discuss compatibility with your home internet. They will be able to pull up how this will integrate. If it is problematic, then they will also be able to discuss other options with you.
