Great camera, need more of them!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I originally got this for my garage, the install was a breeze, and streaming it to my Nest Hub worked perfectly. Then I moved it to watch my smoker while at my desk to make sure everything was in order. Now it's floating around the house for misc purposes. It seems that I may need another one for the garage now.

Good Camera, Very Limited on AI Saved Footage
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a nice little camera. Good picture quality in light or dark conditions. Easy to set up. Unobtrusive. My only complaint is with the software. You aren't able to just review a few days worth of footage from start to finish. The only footage that saves are clips the camera deems worthy of note. So I'll get a save clip of something, but I'm not able to back up to a minute before the camera decided something interesting was going on, nor am I able to continue with the footage past when the camera decides nothing else interesting happened. Considering you have to pay for the service to save footage at all, they need to make it more flexible and not expect you to just be satisfied with whatever the AI decides is worth watching.

Posted .Hi Drewid83, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear your disappointment about Nest Cam (indoor, wired).
The Nest Cam (indoor, wired) has a basic sound and motion feature that is designed to analyze its video data for people, animals, and moving vehicles, and can recognize when the same people reappear. To detect anything besides a person, animal, or moving vehicle, the camera checks for general motion in the scene. It learns what’s normally in its background view and looks for movement and changes. As a result, it can sometimes trigger not just for important things, but also for minor things like tree branches that sway in the wind. If you only need your camera to detect people, animals, or moving vehicles, it's recommended that you do not turn on this feature.
To change detection settings:
- Open the Google Home app .
- Tap your camera or doorbell.
- Tap Settings > Event.

B+ Camera
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a decent camera. It does great during daylight hours. However at dusk the camera quality is substandard.

Posted .Hey there, TC01! Thanks for posting a review! We appreciate you highlighting the camera's strengths in daylight.
There are different factors that can affect the Night Vision. Try to angle your camera away from bright lights, or to install it in a shady spot. You should also make sure that any nearby surfaces or objects (like a wall) are out of view, since the camera’s infrared light can reflect off a surface. You can also try the simple steps outlined at the following link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9259738

Peace of Mind Anywhere
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really love this camera. It was incredibly easy to set up, and I've enjoyed being Abel to check on it from anywhere. You don't need a storage plan unless you want to keep the history logged for longer than 3 hours.

Great for puppy monitoring.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great indoor camera, perfect for a puppy cam. The quality and night vision is great, and the added microphone support is wonderful. I am dealing with some issues with advertising it with dog barking alerts as they are currently not working in the app. Working with google on that but otherwise a great cam.

Great For Indoor Monitoring
|Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.great use for when i went on my vacation, although my only complaint is connection despite being only 10 feet from my router, although i’ve had issues with my wi-fi lately so i’m not going to totally blame the camera on that.

Posted .Hey there, gamergirllex. We appreciate your feedback, and we’re glad that you like the Nest Cam (indoor, wired). We’re sorry to hear your experience with the connectivity.
A range issue or wireless interference can affect the performance of your camera. Sometimes it may pass the connection test during setup, but will struggle to stay connected if you're experiencing a spotty connection or weak signal. We recommend checking your Wi-Fi network to see if your bandwidth is congested. This may happen if you have too many devices connected on the same bandwidth or if your network package is not enough to handle the data traffic on the network. These few steps may also help:
- Turn off other devices connected to your WiFi that may relieve network congestion.
- You can also try restarting your router to reset your internet connection. You should also restart any Wi-Fi range extenders or repeaters that you have.
If the issues persist, we’d be happy to provide you with further troubleshooting guidance here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
