Works great but can’t stream
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall I like the camera. It was easy to setup. Video is of good quality on my iPhone. Issue I have is Google has blocked the ability’s to stream to another device, like a TV. The Nest doorbell camera is allowed to stream

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this too install in my kids room. Works as intended and is easy to install. Decent image quality and works seamlessly with my other Google displays.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat hardware plague by terrible software
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The camera hardware is amazing, picture is very sharp even in night vision, microphone picks up even the faintest sounds. The camera itself also looks high-end and not out of place no matter where you put it. The Home app however is the worst piece of software Google has ever created. Video history is "missing" half the time, motion detection is extremely hit or miss, and scrubbing through the events is painful. I don't know what happened because all these things worked great on the older generation of Nest cameras. Until Google fixes the Home app I recommend you look elsewhere.

Posted .Hi there ChuckTesta, thanks for trying out the new Nest Cam (Indoor, Wired). We apologize for the negative experience you are having with the Google Home app.
Our priority with the recent launch was to build a complete experience for our new cameras and doorbell in the Google Home app. We wanted to create an integrated experience with other Google Nest speakers and displays. Here are some other 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. Here´s a guide that you can follow: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9893532
Video recording is mostly triggered by the motion detection of your Nest camera, which can be also affected by changes in the light level, and shadows moving across the frame like when a cloud moves in front of the sun. This also includes other movements within the camera's field of view like trees or bushes swaying. If you're not getting any alerts or notifications, we recommend trying out the steps below:
1. Change the Activity Zones on your camera. You can delete your existing Activity Zone and create a new one in any area within your camera's field of view. Just make sure that none of the zones you create overlap.
2. Change the angle of your camera and account for the lighting in the surrounding area.
3. Restart your Camera.

Excellent video and very well built!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Picture is great, face detection is really cool! This thing is very well made and much sturdier and heavier than the images suggest. Plus, you cannot beat the subscription value, esp. if you have all Nest cams.

No
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm really not impressed with this camera. It turns off and if i'm not at home, I have to literally not have any feed until I come home and unplug it and plug it back in. I have dogs and I need to be able to see what they're up to during the day so this is very inconvenient for me.

Not as good as original Nest cam
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not as good as the original, the original nest cam app is superior. The old app you can much more easily scroll through your sight line time lapse. At least the hardware is cheaper.

Posted .Hi JL123, we appreciate your feedback on Nest Cam (indoor, wired) and the Nest App, and we’re sorry to hear that using the Google Home app for your camera is less than ideal for you.
We understand that longtime Nest users enjoy viewing their Nest camera feeds from the Nest app, however, our priority with this launch was building a complete experience for our new cameras and doorbell in the Google Home app. Our teams are working on enabling the ability to set up and control older Nest cameras in the Home app so users will have one app to control all of their devices, and we’re working on bringing full functionality to the Google Home app as we want to create an integrated experience with other Nest and smart home devices.
Meanwhile, we suggest having the latest version of the Google Home app that may improve camera playback controls to make it easier to play, pause, and navigate between events from the camera history view in the Google Home app.
We're always here to help you improve your experience. If you run into an issue with your Nest Cam (indoor, wired) and with using it effectively in the Google Home app, please feel free to let us know here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
Great interior camera! Zero complaints!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The camera is easy to set up and works fantastically to catch and record moments of interest. The Google Home app AI does well to recognize faces and animals. The field of view is surprisingly wide. The audio is crystal clear. You get more than what you pay for.
I would recommend this to a friendBright pink corrupted video -- unusable
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The image quality degrades and becomes bright pink after the camera has been powered on for 12-24 hours. Support claimed it was overheating, but it's in a north-facing Window that never gets sun at any time during the day. It's indoors at 69F and 45% humidity. Replaced the camera and same issue with the new unit. Never had this problem with other products used in the same location. Will return it and try something else.

Posted .Hey RawwrBag, thanks for leaving feedback about the Nest Cam (indoor, wired), and we’re sorry to learn you ran into an issue with the image quality.
if your camera or doorbell’s video looks bad, but it has a good Wi-Fi connectionand is not exposed to direct sunlight, this can happen if your camera gets too hot or too cold, and can be avoided by these:
- Avoid placing your camera near objects that can cause overheating like light bulbs, lamps, large equipment/appliances, air vents, etc. Your camera needs good air circulation. Never install it in any kind of small box or enclosure as this can cause overheating.
- Your doorbell/camera's video might also have a pink, blue or purple hue if there's a problem with the Night vision. You can check this link to learn more about the night vision video quality: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9259738
We’ll be using your feedback to work on improving how we handle customer concerns with care and efficiency. Meanwhile, we’re hoping for another chance to help you with your concern. If you’re willing, please share with us your recent case number so we can continue our investigation: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
