i bought two and it looks pretty good
so i got two of these new nest cam wired versions, i'm gonna be clear and say that for the price its OK, i do miss the older models that had a better megapixel then these and the images looked better on those when you zoomed in for a close up of a person, but these are not that bad for indoor use but inside of my basement where i have 16 very bright led 5000k led light bars i did experience a lot of banding, now what is Banding You Ask? (Banding) is those black static bars or lines you see scrolling down on your screen whenever someone makes a video with lighting conditions that a camera cant handle and though for cameras like Mirroless, DSLR's and GoPro's you can simply adjust your shutter speed, ISO and Exposure Value (EV) and fix it and if that doesn't work you can go a step further and use ND Filters to fix that. unfortunately this nest cam has its limitations as its intended to be a security camera and nothing more. so adding an ND filter to fix that is not gonna be easy but its possible you just need to make sure not to block the IR sensors for the Night Vision Feature which is super awesome! however if yiu end up using some kind of ND filter and hot glue it on to your nest cam to solve that poor lighting banding issue, you will be sacrificing some of the night vision brightness, in other words the night vision will look a bit darker, i tried this with my go pro hero 10's Polar Pro ND8 filter which solved the banding problem immediately but darkened up the night vision clarity during my testing. i had a video for you guys on that but unfortunately i am limited to images only. anyways for what it is and for its price this is a great camera, somethings to be aware of is that these new cameras cannot be accessed from the nest app, they can only be seen from the google home app which does give you access to all your nest cameras but only through the mobile app. you cant see the footage from your pc like you can with the nest website. so please keep that in mind, i also have the yearly nest aware plus subscription so i have the full access to the cameras. you can still save video footage from the camera but now instead of 1 minute video clips like from nest, with google i was able to get a 5 minute clip saved to my smartphone! that's a BIG PLUS! since i could add the short video i made of this i figured i would add screen shots from it instead. i hope the pictures help with identifying my experience. anyways that's it for my review.

Best in class -Google wins.
I was hesitant to buy one of these because the price is a little ridiculous in my opinion. I'm a long time Google lover and have it all pretty much but for one of these to hit $80 on sale when I can get something just as good for a quarter of the price? I guess it's a question of brand loyalty. I decided to pick it up because I had a couple other cams in our home and I finally upgraded our video doorbell to the real-deal Google video doorbell! Love it! I'm doing so I didn't realize that the Nest Aware subscription (cheapest tier only $6/month) covers unlimited cameras... As long as they're Google! Previously I was paying $5 to $6 per can for the cloud storage and yes you could say the cost is offset by the higher price Google branded product but, come on-it's Google. It's quality. When I buy Google I know what I'm getting. I'm getting tech that's going to last and years of updates issues they'll have my back on if they arrive. Google all the way. Highly recommend! Picture is stunning, mic picks up audio perfect. Wide range angle. I love it.
