Great for a live view of anywhere inside your home
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Setup was exceptionally easy on my phone via the Google Home app. Since I already have multiple Google home items (speakers, TV), after just a few simple clicks I was ready to run. Camera provides a full HD video feed from your camera and 3 hours worth of events without the need for a DVR or a paid storage service, all accessible via your Android phone, tablet, or Chromebook. Picture both with lighting and night vision are clear and crisp. The camera also allows for two-way audio - both from the camera and to the camera from your viewing device. Only cable needed is the power cable - everything else works via your home WiFi. If you're integrated into the Google Home or Nest eco-system, definitely worth looking into!

Great Camera, good price... But a HUGE MISS
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been a long time support of the Nest Product line. From the first thermostat, to the smoke detectors, to the doorbell, then the first camera, then the IQs, so wanted to add yet another. Before this camera, I have 21 other NEST devices in my home. This particular camera is a a GREAT price point, and is SUPER simple to setup. However, a HUGH miss for someone like myself. I will expand on it in a bit, but it is the Google Home App vs the Nest App. Now for the good: - Extremely easy to setup. Get the Google Home Assistant app (you may have it already), hit just one or two buttons, and scan the bar code. Since I already head some apps in Home Assistant (minis), it had all my details for wifi. In about three minutes, and I was up and had video. - Installation, the video played in app was very tiny... I just went out and found the full screen version on YouTube, and it was easy. Two screws, to the base, align it, and the camera is installed. This is where I took one star off. the mounting base only allows for so much of an angle.. You really do need to set this up at about 6 to 7 feet off the ground to get a good view. That may not be practical for some. I personally would like to mount it a bit higher, so it is out of eye-line sight for the most part. I have the wired version, and have to make sure that this cord. reaches the outlet. but it is easy enough to add a USB extender. - The video quality is good, the microphone is great. pics up a lot. It is what I would expect from this project. So... here is the bad, and to me, it is almost unexcused. And I took 2 stars off because of this... (The other was the limited fixed mounted) Burried deep in the "Specification" listing, it states Compatible with Google Assistant. NO WHERE in the description that the "Nest Cam" won't work with the "Nest App". It is extremely illogical. The VALUE of the Nest echo system, is that I have ONE spot to go to for all my Nest products. That I can see ALL my video camera feeds in one place both web and app. I have 5 other cameras. I spent a health penny to standardize on Nest, I could have gone with many other options, but I wanted the single echo space that would talk to one another. This isn't about a simple compatibly difference, this is a fundamental way of utilizing the camera. No ability to view it from my desktop. (I use that feature OFTEN while I am work, and view my various cameras from my desk, and not my phone). Not able to watch something going on, from multiple views. Google does not "owe" an explanation on why they made this fundamental change, but they should do so somewhere. Or at least make it very clear in the DESCRIPTION (and not buried in the specification, which really even if I had seen it, wouldn't have thought twice)... that you will not have this in the NEST App and home.nest.com. I am going to really debate about taking this camera down, and picking up a used one, that will be in the same functional space as the rest of my cameras.

Posted .Hi Ebonovic, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us about the Nest Cam (Wired). We appreciate you for being a long time Nest user and for being heavily invested with Nest products. It’s unfortunate to learn that your new camera didn’t meet your preference and needs.
We’re aware that longtime Nest users enjoy viewing their Nest camera feeds from the Nest app and web 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. And 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.
We chose to transition to the Home app because this app is designed for the future of the smart home, a single place to set up, manage, automate, and control your home. Most home devices are controlled across multiple apps, but we’re working on making the Google Home app the central controller across all your home devices, including Google devices and devices from other brands.
As for the camera view, try to adjust the camera head 180 degrees then feed the cable through the gaps in the plate. Connect the camera to the wall plate by twisting it on. If you can’t get the view you want, twist the camera off the plate and turn it 180 degrees, then reattach it to the plate.
Here are some benefits you can get by using the Google Home app with your Nest Cam:
- 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.
Your feedback is important to us, and we'll make sure to share it with the product team, as we always aim to improve our products and services. If you have any concerns about your Nest camera, or with using it effectively in the Home app, please feel free to visit us anytime here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Disappointed and let down!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So disappointed, Nest was amazing before google messed it up, this new camera is not ot very good compared to the old IQ cameras, the apps don’t work together, old cameras only work on the nest app and new cameras only work on the google app, they will not work on the nest app at all! The nest app is way better than the google app, nest is streamlined, easy to work and modify each camera to your needs, the new google app is very limited and confusing if your unfamiliar with google apps. It’s a mess! Now iv spent a fortune on these cameras it’s a waste if google doesn’t get its self together. Hey google, leave nest alone.. let the cameras do there thing inclusively on nest! Now I’m wishing I invested in ring instead of nest.

Not what they used to be.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Used these cameras for years and the latest is the worst, mainly because of the app. The nest app works great, however, this new camera only works on the google home app. So if you have older cameras and use to the nest app, you can't see this camera on it. You have to use google home, which is clunky, slow, and forget your history. Look in the past and it just sits and spins. Very disappointed.

Posted .Hi there WhiskyGambler, thanks for being a long time user of Nest cameras. We're sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction with the Google Home app as the main software to manage Nest Cam (Wired)
We understand that you have enjoyed using the Nest app with your Nest cameras. However, our priority with this launch was building a complete experience for our new cameras and doorbell in the Google Home app. We wanted to make the Google Home app as the one place you can control all your favorite Nest and other smart home devices with the Google Assistant. 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 are having issue with the Google Home app, we recommend trying out some steps below that may be helpful with the issue:
- Check your app version. Ensure that you are using the latest version of the Google Home app.
- Restart your router, modem and mobile phone. To restart your Nest Cam (Wired). Locate the reset pin between the cord and the support arm. Press the pin once (you can use an unfolded paper clip or a thumbtack). Your camera will restart, and the status light will be steady, solid white.
- If you are using a dual-band router, just make sure you are connected to your 2.4 GHz Wifi frequency band.
- Check for interference. Almost every network is subject to wireless interference which can cause problems when connecting your camera to the Google Home app. Check for any wireless interference that may be caused by thick walls and floors, competing Wi-Fi networks, from other electronics in your home.
- Check for possible congestion. Removing some of your devices that's connected to your network may help relieve some bandwidth space.
We're hopeful that you will give the Google Home app another shot. If you have any questions, our agents would be happy to answer them. You may reach out to our support team by visiting us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

A must have!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I mainly bought these as "doggy cameras". I got these because the video quality is very good compared to other DIY cameras on the market. They work well with the google home app where I've connected the doorbell, cameras and my nest thermostat.

Lacking in Quality
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have several nest cameras and also quite a few Google products throughout my house. I’ve been very happy with them and how well they sync up with each other. The cameras have been good quality and held up well over the last couple of years. Unfortunately, I was not nearly as satisfied with this new indoor camera. I set it up in a window pointing outside. The first thing that was frustrating to me is that the camera doesn’t auto adjust depending on the angle it’s at. There wasn’t enough room for me to mount the camera from the top of the window frame, so I did it on the side. The problem is my picture is also sideways because of that and there’s no way to adjust it. You can turn the camera head but whatever way the camera is facing is the way your picture will look. I also found that the night vision is pretty much nonexistent, made even worse by the fact that my camera is pointing out a window. It reflects back any light and more often than not I end up with a reflection of my front room instead of what’s outside. Not ideal. The last thing I found that was incredibly frustrating, again since I already have other nest cameras is that this camera can’t be used with the nest app. It’s only compatible with the Google home app. If you’re brand new to nest products, then this won’t be an issue for you as you can just set up in the Google home app with this and any other products. But for me I have everything set up through the nest app including not only my cameras but two smoke detectors. I have this one random camera though now that won’t work with the same app as all of my others. And quite honestly I don’t really like the layout of the cameras in the Google Home app. I much prefer the nest app so this was a huge negative for me. The camera does work and if you can mount it upright and don’t have a problem using the Google home app, then this isn’t a bad little product. But for all of the reasons described above, I feel it’s lacking the usual quality I’ve come to expect from nest products and I’m not a fan.
