    Good quality; however the auto detect feature may need to be reviewed. Someone entered my home for insect spraying while I was at work, but I was not alerted.

    It works great, but not compatible with Nest. I tried to add to my thermostat and had to get a whole new google app. They want you to merge, but I am not interested in changing over, so now I have two apps.

    Not for security

    We are replacing our Google Nest cameras with a real camera system. The face detection seldom works, video clips are nearly impossible to review and export, and are often unavailable right when needed urgently. Google seems to make very little effort to develop or enhance the application and capabilities of the app, seemingly more focused on getting a little bit into a million things rather than actually making a product with good user experience. The doorbell can be useful at times but overall we regret investing in the over priced Google devices instead of a real camera system where we can access the cameras in real time and easily review and export footage of critical events. I would definitely not want to depend on the Google devices for security, they are more for convenience only to know when a package is delivered.

      Hi there, JMT711. We appreciate your feedback on the Nest Cam (indoor, wired). It's disheartening to know that your experience was less than ideal. We understand your frustration with difficulties in face detection, limited video review options, and inaccessibility during critical moments. Your concern about delays in accessing footage during emergencies is noted. Nest Cameras rely on cloud processing for features like person detection and remote access. It offers security benefits and easy access using your Google Home app. We understand that it might not always meet the real-time needs in every situation and know that we hear you. We always value your feedback to elevate your device experience. We wanted to know more details so we can provide an effective resolution for your concern.

    Excellent video quality! Super easy to install. I decided on getting the wired one instead of the battery one because it was on sale and because I didn't plan on utilizing it outdoors. This was a great purchase and I feel very secured due to Google Nest Aware!

    The weakest part of this is the need to subscribe to a service for more than a day's worth of history, A local storage option would be nice. But it integrates well with all my other google stuff, the video quality is decent, and is easy to setup.

    I’ve noticed these newer cameras that they came out with do not record as much as before and for some reason my camera turns off by itself even I’m trying to use it. The older model indoor camera is a lot better cause I still have one and stays on 24/7 recording every bit of video which I like.

      Hi there, BigJ2049. We're glad to hear that you're finding the camera and build quality of Nest Cam (wired) great. We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with the transition from the Nest app to the Home app for the new generation of Nest cameras.

      We wanted to make the Google Home app as the one place where you can control all your favorite 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 (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 have older Nest cameras, you have the option to set them up within the Google Home app. For a detailed guide on this process, please refer to this informative help article: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9893532

    Had to upgrade with the 2nd gen indoor camera was released. Better all around at a cheaper price. Wish this camera came with a battery back-up as the new outdoor camera. Communication is a little laggy sometimes but overall you can hear and be heard.

      Hi Mike, we´re glad you liked Nest Cam (Indoor,Wired). We´re sorry to hear about the laggy communication issue you are experiencing.

      Laggy issues may be related to the any of the following reasons below:
      - Possible congestion of your network. Removing some of your connected devices may free up some bandwidth space and enable you to test if the issue will happen again. Once you verify congestion, we recommend contacting your Internet service provider for a possible upgrade of your bandwidth connection.
      - Interference caused by electrical appliances and thick walls in your home. Placing your Nest Cam much closer to your router, or in a location where it can get better signal reception may be helpful.

      We value your feedback and we´ll make sure to pass along this information to the right team. If you encounter any further issue, please consider contacting our support team for further troubleshooting and isolation here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

      Hi RichardTheRoofer, thanks for reaching out. We're sorry to hear that 2 of your Nest Cam (Indoor, Wired) loses Wi-Fi connection.

      We recommend checking for possible congestion in your Wi-Fi network. Removing some of your connected devices can help free up some bandwidth space. You may then check to see if you will still experience the same connectivity issue.
