Posted .Hi Flyboy, we're glad to hear your feedback about Nest Cam (Indoor, Wired). We've taken note of your feedback and we'll make sure to pass this along to the right team. If you need to mount your Nest Cam (Indoor, Wired) on a ceiling or overhang, or at an odd angle to get the view you want, you can adjust the video so that it's right side up. In many cases, you can simply turn or twist the camera. If that’s not possible, you can flip the video 180 degrees with the Home app. Alternatively, you can speak to our support team by simply reaching out to us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

I would recommend this to a friendHuge disappointment if you're still using Nest
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly I am disappointed the quality is poorer than my Nest cameras, and the fact that I can't use this on the Nest app is a huge negative! The google home app is not as quick and easy to use as the Nest app, this is a huge step back!

Posted .Hi there Cuong, thanks for sharing your feedback with us. We're sorry to hear about the disappointing experience with Nest Cam (Indoor, Wired).
Our goal is to make the Google Home app 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 (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 to set up your Nest cameras on the Google Home app: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9893532
If you ever have a change of heart and reconsider to keep using Nest Cam (Indoor, Wired). You´re always welcome to contact our support team for any questions or support needs you may have here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

I would recommend this to a friendDoes not work on the Nest App, Not a NEST Camera
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Google Nest Camera that does not work in the Nest App. Whoever made this decision needs to be immediately fired. This is the first time I ever recall buying a next 'gen' product and then immediately being willing to pay MORE for the previous gen. Will be returning this product, the google home app is TERRIBLE for camears

I would recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Video quality
Cannot Download Video History!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall, the camera has a good build quality. However, when you’ll need this camera the most it will be worthless. These new Google home cameras will only allow you to download video history on “Events” that Google has flagged. You cannot download for example a 30 minute clip like you could do with the original Nest cameras. What’s the point in having 24/7 recording if you’re not able to download the footage? I certainly expected more from Google!

good hardware, crappy software
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The hardware is great but forcing this camera to only be used inside Google's Home app is dumb. If you already have gen 1 cameras setup in your house be prepared to switch between the two apps to get full use of your cameras.

Posted .Hi Trogdor, thanks for giving us feedback on Nest Cam (indoor, wired), and we’re sorry to learn of your disappointment that it can only be used inside the Google Home app.
We’re aware 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. While the new Nest cameras and doorbells are exclusive to the Google Home app, users with previous versions of Nest cameras can view their camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new Nest Doorbell and Nest Cams.
If you'd like us to help you with any other questions or concerns, or with using your camera in the Home app effectively, you can let us know here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
