    I love the nest cam. Clear picture both day and night, a sensitive motion cam (almost to a fault) but still a good problem to have. I started with one earlier this year and now have 3 around the house. The sound alert is very convenient and actually came in handy while away on a trip. The app and set up is very user friendly.

    works flawlessly, set up easy, does require a good wifi signal, some interference if you are using it in conjunction with another wifi camera system. the integration with the NEST system is flawless. great wide angle lens. sends alerts to cell phone when motion is detected. best is that it has a setting that you can select that it shuts off when nest system detects that you are home and not away.

    Very easy install and great video quality. Connects to wifi using no the best app in minutes and the night vision is great. Motion and sound detection work as they should and I never miss what's happening in the house. Planning on more to add to other areas of the house and going to use in nursery for new baby on the way

    There are many great contenders coming out. Nest Cam is coming out with APIs that work with IFTTT -- so working in tandem with the Nest Thermostat is a great solution. Love the quality, love the customizability for the alerts & zones. I opted for 10 days of history (who really needs more?) and will probably buy a second camera.

    I started my wireless camera search a couple months ago and initially purchased The NetGear Arlo Pro system.....It looked amazing but ended up being expensive and disappointing......I has constant connectivity issues and I could only get 2 of the 4 cameras to operate at the same time so I returned it and purchased the above system. Well so far I'm in love with this system.....It is easy to set up, operate, has decent video quality and was cheaper!! I've had zero connectivity issues and just couldn't be happier......I do have to say I liked the batteryless feature of the NetGear cameras but then again nothing can compete with the raw power of an 120 volt electrical outlet........except a semi-smart thief who turns off the power so a backup power system is needed for all crucial operating systems (modem, router and cameras) and of course with wiring a person must plan a little better. So overall I give it 5 stars which isn't saying much except that it has met my expectations so far and would recommend this product for relatively easy and inexpensive video survellience.

    Definition of plug and play. The quality is great and the controls are customizable. You do have to purchase a NEST aware subscription if you want additional features and the ability to record. It's like $6 a month. Overall a great investment.

    Nest indoor cameras are an easy set up. Able to zoom in and out. Have an intercom so your able to communicate immediately whether your in another room or at another location. Sound is clear and camera also has night vision. The only thing is that it operates with wifi. But overall it is a great camera.

    This is my second camera for my home. I have it facing towards my front steps so I can see when a package is delivered or who is literally knocking at my door. You can watch it live or pay $5 a month for a second camera for a 7 day recording history in the cloud. Works good so far. I have this camera for about 3 months.

    The cameras were easy to set up and connect to wifi. The cameras provide a wide field of view and night vision is good. We have not set up with the cloud yet but likely will. Notifications include some false notifications primarily caused by light changes, but not too many to be irritating. A good product.

    Bought this to keep an eye on an elderly relative while they were home alone. Pretty interesting all the other stuff you see that you didn't expect. Cats and dogs do weird stuff during the day. $100 is either a good price, or too much, depending on who you ask. However, it is nice to be able to scroll back and see all the points of movements that occur. All in all, I would say this is a great purchase. Setup was easy, the Android app is awesome. Google does it again.

    At first glance, the Nest Cam is a really great product. However, for those that are more tech inclined or with needs such as outdoor mounting, the Nest Cam falls short. Pros: +: Great for those with simple recording or technical requirements. +: The Nest Cam integrates tightly with the Nest app on the iOS/Android platforms and Nest.com website. +: Setup is extremely easy. Cons: -: Wireless range and performance isn't great Despite a line of sight to my 802.11AC Apple Airport Extreme router, it often has buffering issues. -: Fully relies on the Nest Cam cloud video recording system to be operational. The highly touted capabilities that require a monthly Nest Aware subscription where motion detection sends alerts to your mobile device, etc. have been down for a subset (myself included) of active Nest Cam users on the Nest Community forums since 7/10/2015 with no notice from Nest. -: Nest's Phone Technical Support is extremely lackluster. Estimated hold time was 30 minutes, my call was disconnected by their phone system at a hold time of 1 hour and 2 minutes. -: Nest's E-mail support is also poor, they tell you to expect a 3-5 day turnaround time before you receive a response. I am now currently trying to engage Nest's support via twitter and other venues. I want a refund, I'll roll my own security camera system.

    Excellent camera and very easy to install. Great and clear night vision . I think that is the best option for inside. The best option to see inside your house from outside and you can receive alert notifications about motions.

    The video that this camera produces is very good. It also has a wide field of view. When buying this, I was concerned about the lack of pan/tilt capability, but the field of view is so wide, that's not an issue. The audio is decent -- I can have a conversation with someone viewing through the nest app or computer. The cam comes with a free 30 day trial of nest aware, which keeps a 10 day video history. I'll probably go ahead and pay the $100 per year for that, but it still provides some basic security features without that. It's pretty easy to scan through the video history on the app as nest aware tags times where it saw movement. I would have given this a 5* rating except the camera disconnects a couple times a week...and only unplugging for a minute fixes things. I now have it plugged into a wemo plug so I can "unplug" the camera remotely. I have screaming fast wifi in my house, so I don't think the issue lies with my wifi. One thing to be aware of...is that nest says the cam uses about 120 gig of data per month...and that's consistent with what I'm seeing. You can set the cam to turn off (eg. at night or when anyone is home) to cut that back a bit. So if your internet provider has a low monthly bandwith max, you could bump into that. (Mine has a 1,000 gig max, so no issues).

    I love these cameras. I now have 4 of them. You get a free month of service each time you add a camera to your system. I suggest you add each camera one at a time to maximize your free months. I have not subscribed to the service. There are different packages , but I have the one that is $100 per year for the first one and $50 per year for each one after that if you pay for the year all at once. It is a little pricey, but I consider it to be like an insurance expense. (The good part is that you don't have to have a DVR or anything at home. No extra equipment. It is all saved in the cloud and you can rewind to see what happened.) This indoor camera does have to be hooked up to electricity at all times. I wish it were wireless. The camera is black, but the cord is white. I wish it were black as well. I wish it did have a longer cord, but we just used an extension cord. It does have a good picture both in light and darkness. It alerts you when there is movement.
