Great Plus and Play camera!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great! Easy to setup and great picture. Reason for the 4 stars is it doesn't work with the Nest app...only the Google Home app. This leaves for a disjointed user experience which I'm sure Google will rectify over time.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for an indoor security camera and this one fit my needs perfectly. Easy to install and picture quality is excellent. Pairs nicely on the app with other nest products like the video doorbell.

Posted .Hello there, Thetimefighter. We appreciate that you like the sound and picture quality of the Nest Cam (indoor, wired). It’s unfortunate to hear about your experience with the notifications
Also, there's no fee to stream full resolution live video and receive basic notifications, as long as your doorbell is connected to the internet. However, you’ll need a Nest Aware subscription to record video and receive advanced notifications. Our goal is to give users more options. With event video history, we wanted our products to help our customers understand what’s going on at home easily and highlight the important activity for you. For people who want to see everything that happens at home, we offer 24/7 video history on wired Nest Cams with a Nest Aware Plus subscription. We continue to invest in the use of both technologies
Event detection and notifications depend on the doorbell settings that you select. You can choose which events your doorbell can detect and record (people, motion, package, etc.). From there, you (and each member of your home) can decide which of those events to get notifications for. If an event is turned off, you won’t get notifications for that kind of activity. You can also change the settings like adjusting video quality, wake-up sensitivity, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas.

Built like a tank
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super easy to setup. Great build quality and the audio and video quality was so much better than previous security cameras I have used. However, I am a little bummed that Gen 2 products do NOT work with the Nest app.

Great security camera

I would recommend this to a friendDoes Not Work With Nest App
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love Nest camera’s, but I hate the Google home app camera interface. It is clunky and annoying. You also can’t mute the camera if you view the live feed even if you turn your volume all the way down. I dropped ease of use to 2 stars because of this. Google needs to allow the use of the Nest app again. It’s really unfortunate. I’m keeping the camera, but I will continue to complain about it. I would only recommend this camera if you don’t know how awesome the Nest app is.

Posted .Hi Zach, it's awesome to hear that you love our Nest cameras. We do apologize if the move to the Google Home app for Nest Cam (Indoor, Wired) didn't quite meet your expectations.
The new Nest Cameras and doorbells are exclusive to the Google Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience with other Google Nest speakers and displays. 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. If you already have some Nest cameras installed in your home, you may transfer them to the Google Home app. Here´s a guide that you can follow: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9893532

Good cameras
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love them. I bought the annual subscription so I can keep a log of the videos. The clarity is amazing, the night vision is fantastic, and I feel much more secure now I have them on my home

Posted .Hello there, JamieO. We appreciate your input about the Nest Cam (indoor, wired). We hear your concern, and we understand that having the ability to manage and control the camera through the Nest app can be ideal for you. However, our priority is 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. Other benefits of using the Home app includes the following:
- Automatic security protections such as Suspicious activity detection, 2-Step Verification and Security Checkup.
- Your Google Nest devices and services will work together.
- 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 need help with using the camera and its features effectively in the Home app, feel free to find us anytime here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
No factory reset button
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I plugged it and and got it hooked up and the video was great during it's test. When I went to use it the video sucked. I then disconnected it and same thing happened. The third time I went to set it up, it wouldn't connect, said to do a factory reset, couldn't connect. His camera does not have a factory reset button, nor does Google support have any instructions on doing that thru software. Disappointed, because I have all google products and the nest doorbell is great. I would have exchanged it, but couldn't figure out how to do an exchange online at best but. So sent it back defective.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The camera is great and an improvement to the Nest indoor cameras. However the Google App is horrible point blank! It’s hard to enjoy the hardware when the software keeps crashing constantly!

Posted .Hi there, Billybob. We appreciate your feedback on Nest Cam (Indoor, Wired). We're sorry to hear that the Home app keeps crashing.
Here are some suggested troubleshooting steps you can try out:
- Check the OS version of your mobile phone device. We recommend the following versions:
Android phone or tablet with Android 8.0 or later, and iPhone or iPad with iOS 14.0 or later versions.
- Try updating the Google Home app by going to the Google Play Store and searching for the Home app. Once you find it, tap on Update.
- Try installing the Google Home app, using the same account, on another mobile phone or tablet device, and see if you will experience the issue.
- If you don't experience the same issue with another device, we recommend uninstalling and reinstalling the Google Home app on the main mobile phone device.
If none of the steps prove to be helpful with the issue, please do not hesitate to contact our support team further help here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
Decent camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent camera but I wouldn't consider them an upgrade to the older Next 4K camera's. And these cameras only show up in the Google Home app along with older Nest camera's; they do not show up in the Nest app.

Easy to set up
|Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Takes unflattering photos of faces unrecognized. Knows the difference between a car driving by, or people. It can also hear sounds like a smoke detector, and recognizes what it is. Very smart google.
I would recommend this to a friendDoesn't work with Nest
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
