Google nest 3rd generation camera
Upgraded from the old nest indoor iq cameras. These seem to have a wider view than the old cameras. Miss the ability to create a time lapse over a few hours like the old cameras. Also miss the ability to share the camera with a link and password to family members. All in all video quality seems to slightly improve but not to much. Mostly just a wider view.

Great video and audio. Do you like subscriptions?
Unboxing the Google Nest Cam Indoor was very straightforward. Inside the box is the camera (this thing is hefty for its size and feels like it’s forged from a single steel billet), a 10-foot USB-C power cable (hard-wired), power adapter, wall anchors and screws, and a quick-start guide. Packaging is clean and minimal and completely recyclable. Setup couldn’t be simpler: Plug it in using the included AC adapter, open the Google Home app, and follow the prompts. Easy. Camera placement is limited only by the presence of the power cord. It must be within 10 feet of a wall outlet, and I’ll have to get creative to properly conceal the cord. The Google Nest Cam Indoor can be placed on a table, windowsill, shelf – wherever – and it can also be wall mounted. I have currently placed the camera on a bookshelf in the office. The 2K HDR video is impressive. Colors are accurate, even in low light. Motion is smooth (I noticed no stutter or lag), and the field of view is wide enough to cover the entire room without distortion – though I do note a bit of a fisheye effect. Night vision is outstanding with illumination provided by two infrared LEDs. Yes, the night vision is black and white, but it is easy to identify faces and make out details in little or no light. The LEDs have sufficient range to view the entire office (about 15’) with the lights off. Audio is full-duplex, and it works well. I tested the two-way talk feature with my wife, and it was like using a walkie-talkie with a built-in mute button. Again, no lag, and speech is easily intelligible. Solely based on the function and quality of the audio, I’m contemplating upgrading our video doorbell to Nest. The camera’s built-in intelligence seems pretty cool. Documentation indicates it reliably detects people, pets, and motion, and it can send alerts. With Gemini integration, you can ask plain-language questions and get relevant responses complete with summary and pertinent video clips. Unfortunately, the camera is currently on a shelf in my home office where there is minimal activity. My plan is, come springtime, to set it up in the sunroom where it will have adequate shelter (it is an indoor cam) and a view overlooking the back yard and pool; it’s going to be awesome for monitoring activity. If you’ve ever used the Google Home app, getting to know your Google Nest Cam is very intuitive. Everything works just as you expect, and the interface is clean and easy to navigate. Here is my only complaint: Functionality is hobbled without a subscription. There are no event alerts (people, pets, cars). You’re limited to 3 hours of event video previews. No full video history. No continuous recording. To unlock the full feature set – like 30-day (Standard) or 60-day (Advanced) event history, facial recognition, and 24/7 recording – you’ll need a Google Home subscription, currently either $10/mo. or $20/mo. It’s not outrageous, but it’s a little disappointing. I wish more of the camera’s capabilities were available out of the box. The camera picture and sound quality are excellent. Build quality feels solid. It has a pleasing, unobtrusive design. The performance is top-tier. If you’re already in the Google ecosystem and don’t mind the subscription, this is a fantastic indoor security solution. Overall, the Nest Cam Indoor delivers sharp, colorful video with super-simple setup. Just be aware that full functionality resides behind a paywall. If you’re okay with that, it’s a great addition to your home.
