    Disappointing Experience with Google Cameras

    I invested in the Google camera system because I liked that it allows you to check back on full video recordings, not just short clips like the Ring camera — but only if you pay for a subscription. The app itself offers some good features, but the overall experience has been frustrating at times. The video quality could definitely be better. Zooming in distorts the picture so much that it becomes almost useless. For a company like Google, I expected much better clarity. The app also needs serious work. There are times when videos simply won’t load for me, and the only fix (according to Google’s own support team) is to uninstall and reinstall the app. I’ve had to do this every few weeks just to get it working again. Another frustrating part is the shortcuts — they won’t let me see all my cameras at once for some reason. I also purchased the Google floodlight cameras for outside, but I’ve learned that cold temperatures really affect their performance. During really cold weather, the cameras sometimes stop recording altogether. The weather resistance, especially in cold temperatures, definitely needs to be improved for outdoor cameras. Overall, while there are some features I do like, I think this system has a lot of room for improvement. For those of us paying for a subscription, it’s frustrating to see the features not work properly. As of now, I would not recommend this product. There are other cameras out there with better video quality, and the recording feature (which is one of the main reasons I chose this system) only matters if the app works consistently — which it doesn’t.

    Needed to increase security inside my house. I already have cameras outside and have been very happy with them. These were just as easy to set up.

    Pretty good, but I miss the previous Nest cameras that worked with the Nest app. You can really see the design choices that are influenced by Google's product strategy than when Nest was it's own company. This camera doesn't has sacrificed quality in build and features for a cheaper device that can be more mass spread. It also makes you use the Google Home app which doesn't have as much function as the previous Nest app. I do like the smaller form factor and the easy mounting capability.

      Hi Frank, thanks for sharing your feedback with us. We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with the Google Home up and Nest Cam (Indoor, Wired).

      Our goal was to make the Google Home app the one place where you can control all your favorite Google Nest devices and other smart home devices with the Google Assistant. Here are some benefits you can get by using the Google Home app with your Nest Cam (Indoor, Wired):
      - Automatic security protections such as Suspicious activity detection, 2-Step Verification and Security Checkup.
      - Your Google Nest devices and services will work together. For example, if you have a Nest Cam and a Nest Hub, just say, "Hey Google, show me the backyard camera” to cast your camera stream to your display without any additional setup.
      - One account to sign into both the Nest and Google Home apps.
      - Your homes and home members will be aligned across the Nest and Google Home apps.

      If you're willing to try, you may set up your Nest cameras to the Google Home app. Check out this help article: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9893532

      We'd like to hear more about your experience and help you with some features you are having difficulty with. You may reach out to our support team here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
