Posted .Hi there, DanielM. Thank you for your feedback about the Nest Cam indoor wired.Your Nest Cam indoor wired has a 135° field of view and we understand that you would prefer a wider field of view to cover a larger area. Know that we hear you and we've taken note of it. In the meantime, you can try mounting the camera in a different location to get a better view of the area you want to monitor.

Posted .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

Continuous Streaming, Easy Setup
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Finally a camera that has great quality, shows me continuous stream without timing out (cough cough BLINK!) and integrates with my smart home system. In love with this for our baby’s room!
I would recommend this to a friendNot for security
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .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. We recommend reaching out to our dedicated team of specialists on the Google Help Center here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
Very sleek, but could use more features
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy set up and works well with all my other Google home devices. There's no way to disable the led light so it can be kind of distracting as a baby monitor, but ultimately gets the job done

Recording
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Almost one year after, the camera flashes/flickers violently.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.dislike it because problems connection to nest wifi could be a wifi problem. Sometimes screen goes black after motion sensor. Good for price. Works great.
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from Nest Support
Posted .Hi Catglasses, thanks for your insights. We´re sorry to hear that you disliked Nest Cam (Indoor, Wired) because of the connectivity issue with your Nest Wifi, and that the screen goes black right after the motion sensor is activated.
The issue is most likely related to an insufficient bandwidth on your network, which may be caused by a possible congestion. Removing some of your connected devices may help free up some bandwidth space and enable you to test and see if you get a better connection between Nest Cam (Indoor, Wired) and your Nest Wifi network. Once you verify congestion, we recommend contacting your Internet service provider to check your network and upgrade your bandwidth if needed.

Junk compared to the Original Nests
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have 9 Original Nest Thermostats, 2 doorbells, and 4 cameras. Google ruined Nest, it’s not a Nest anymore without the functionality of the Nest app nor is the actual camera as good as the original. Google Home is just another poorly built privacy and data grab app by Google. It’s so bad you have to use the Nest app to add the camera to Google Home, but they intentionally won’t let you see your “new” camera in Nest. REALLY? What a joke. This is all a way to force you to google home. If you wanted me in google home then adapt Google home to Nest, then I might consider migrating. They admit they are trying to force you to their inferior Home app in many of the complaint reviews about the app. Don’t have Alexa, don’t want google spying on every word I say just so I can turn my lights on. This “google” camera replaced a Nest I moved outside. The google camera does not have remotely the same flexibility of the “true” Nest it replaced. It’s harder to see the video feed in the home app vs the Nest app, it’s harder to add to the home app than it was in Nest. If you are a google drone already, you will probably not care. If you are legacy Nest, everything about the Google migration and the hardware is inferior. When google quits supporting the Nest App, I’m converting to something else, if one of my Legacy Nest products breaks, I’m replacing with anything but a google product.

Posted .Hi YMMV, thanks for sharing your experience. We apologize that you’re unable to use Nest Cam (indoor, wired) on Nest App.
The new Nest Cam (indoor, wired) is exclusive to the Home app. Our long term plan is to use the Google Home app as the one place you can control all of your favorite Nest and other smart home devices, as well as Google Assistant. In the near future, we’ll allow users to set up previous Nest devices and have full control in the Home app. Users with older cameras can view their camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new Nest Cams. Our team is working on bringing full functionality to the Google Home app so all of your cameras can be set up and controlled in one place.
Your feedback is important to us as it will greatly help us in improving our products and services. Feel free to contact our support team here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
