I put this in a window to overlook a parking lot after a car break-in. You can disable the IR lights in settings, so it works at night without reflections off the glass. You get notifications of movement telling you vehicles, animals or people, through the Google Home app and 3 hours of free recordings. The app lets you download clips to share. The cord is fairly long and the camera is easy to setup. 1080 is pretty good, but not like CSI enhance! levels of detail. Good value if on sale.

Camera is fine for what it is. Just like any camera of this type, a subscription is basically required to use this fully.
IR lights are insanely bright, so bright that you can put tape over them and still retain some functionality. That being said, Ive never heard a louder click come from a camera when switching to IR. Good lord, lol.
The audio is very "meh". Anything making noise near the camera will completely drown out anything else. Not ideal.
The provided cord for power is USB? WHY?! Im not cutting the cable to find out, but I doubt you could extend this wire as easily. Im talking cutting and splicing. Most USB extension cables require...power...soooo....poor planning on their part. Who knows, maybe the only wires being used are power and ground.
Camera feels sturdy. I wouldnt mount this outdoors, though.

Snow White Nest Cam, Indoor, Wired (2nd generation

I’m sure the camera works good. I have the Nest app and have 2 cameras (from 2017) that still work great. I thought since it’s a 2nd generation that I could use Google Home app to set it up. Not so. I get the message that I have to migrate my Nest account. Birds migrate. Butterflies migrate. Now my app migrates too. What does that really mean in laymen’s talk not IT talk. I don’t want to lose what I see in my Nest app so I haven’t set up this camera yet.

Hi Jakey, thanks for the feedback that you shared about the Nest Cam (indoor, wired), and we’re sorry to learn you came across this issue about account migration.
If you migrate your Nest Account to a Google Account, your experience of your Nest home and products will change. Migration is optional, and once completed, is not reversible, so it’s important to understand the changes that migration will bring before you start. We recommend that you read all the information in the “Important changes when you migrate” and “Privacy and Terms of Service” sections to help decide if migration is right for you at this time, here’s the link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9297676
Migrating your Nest Account to a Google Account is optional to create one unified Google Account that you can use to manage products and homes in both the Nest and Google Home apps. If you migrate, your Nest data will be associated with your Google Account. To learn how Google will use your Nest data if you migrate and how you can manage your Google settings, read our Privacy FAQs here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9415830
You’re more than welcome to contact us anytime at the following link if you have any questions about the account migration process, or if you need help with the performance and features of the camera: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Put this camera in my garage to monitor my CNC machine. Easy setup and connection. Had everything running in just a few minutes.
Would not suggest letting Best Buy deliver via Shipt. Shipt is AWEFUL. Said it would be delivered on Tuesday, didn't get delivered until Wednesday. Tracking kept showing picked up and on its way. I would have been better off to pick up at the store.

It has been over one year that I bought a pair of these indoor wired cameras. It was soooo easy to set up these two cameras within my home. These cameras connect easily with the Google Nest. Home security has never been this easy! In closing, today I have ordered another pair of these cameras for greater security.

Google cameras have excellent quality and practicality. This is perfect for use in garages or backyards where you have a cover and an outlet nearby. Installation is simple and integration with the Google Home app is practically automatic. The night vision and motion detection sensors are excellent.

The Cameras are good. The problem I have with the new Nest cameras is you can't open them in the Nest App. The NestApp was so simple, one step, open the app and all the cameras are visible. Now you have to opengoogle home, then select cameras, then you can veiw them. That ia not so bad, but the Nest app also includes the Nest thermostat. For me, the old Nest app was more user friendly.

Hello Chris, we’re thankful for the feedback you shared about the Nest Cam (indoor, wired). We appreciate that you like them, and we hear your concerns about using the Nest app, compared to Google Home app, to view and manage your cameras including your other Nest devices.
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.
We request for your patience as we’re working on a seamless solution to create a better user experience. Meanwhile, we suggest having the latest version of the Google Home app that may improve camera playback controls to make it easier to play, pause, and navigate between events from the camera history view for cameras set up in the Google Home app. And if you need help with any concerns about the performance and functionality of the camera, contact us anytime here and we’ll gladly help you the best we can: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Had to get two of these to replace two other cameras that were 10 years old. They still worked but won't be supported anymore on the app. So, we love these cameras. Obviously they last a long time. Just a little sad the old ones are being phased out. That said, the new cameras have a much better picture quality.

If you're already part of the Google/Nest Home ecosystem, then this is definitely the camera for you. I have two properties that I monitor, 500 miles apart. I previously used Arlo battery-powered cameras connected to solar panels. Both cameras suffered the same hardware failure after less than two years of service and I replaced them with these. What a difference. I changed the monitoring location to a more sheltered area where these camera could be plugged into AC mains all the time (as they must be). That solved all the environmental problems I used to have with the Arlos' batteries being either too hot or too cold to charge properly. That also solved the problem of having to do hard resets with battery pulls. I also experienced a 7-second-plus lag when monitoring the Arlo cameras, both locally and at the remote location. With these Nest cameras, it's less than a second, effectively negligible. The video quality is superb. The data throughput is peerless. And finally, the facial, object and motion recognition is both more accurate and less prone to false notifications. You can designate familiar faces, so that you don't have to check the video feed every time you get an alert. You simply get an alert that says "Your annoying neighbor Cletus detected on Front Door camera." (Don't have to check the feed.) Or, "unfamiliar face detected." (DO have to check the feed.) In short, a tremendously reliable, fast, useful camera. Highly recommended.

This camera works great. It can detect where a person or the dogs are in the room and alert just the dogs if I would like. It has facial recognition and will let me know if there is a stranger in the house. This is my 8th Nest Camera and I love them. They are great products.
