Great product, terrible software
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Although these new Nest Cam themselves are great (good video quality and nice product materials) the Google Home service itself is a mess. I have the old Nest camera products as well as these new Google Nest cameras. The older Nest cameras still work on the Nest app, which is MUCH better at handling the security footage compared to the Google Home app. The problem with the Google Home app is that you can't playback footage that has just been recorded - you have to wait several minutes before it's accessible. This completely defeats the purpose of these cameras as security cameras when you want to see the footage from the notification you just received. Also just scrubbing through footage is noticeably worse on the Google Home app compared to the Nest app. These new Google Nest cameras may be great products themselves, but the software interface makes this just a "meh" product. The fact that we are no longer able to add these new cameras to the old Nest app (that still works perfectly, especially compared to the Google Home interface) just ruins it. Alphabet needs to make their Google Home app as comprehensive and functional as the Nest app before I can recommend these cameras to anyone. Live view works great, but trying to playback anything is going to be problematic.

Posted .Hi LMRN, thanks for sharing the details of your feedback on Nest Cam (Indoor, Wired), and we’re sorry to learn your expectations are not met. The new Nest cameras and doorbell are exclusive to the Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience with your speakers and displays. A Nest Aware subscription applies to all of your cameras, speakers, and displays in the same home structure. And you can view both your old and new Nest Cams together in the Home app.
We request for your patience as we’re working on a seamless solution to create a better user experience. And 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.
Meanwhile, we’d like an opportunity to investigate why it takes a few minutes before you can see the footage from your notification. If you’re willing to share more details about this issue, please get in touch with us anytime here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Snow White Nest Cam, Indoor, Wired (2nd generation
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .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

Nest Google Cameras
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .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

Best camera

I would recommend this to a friend Camera great! Delivery via Shipt is AWEFUL
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Works well.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have two and they are good quality as far as video whether day or night but I have a problem where sometimes they just say connection problem even though they will still display a warning if the see someone. I am guessing it’s more of a problem with my wifi but still cannot figure it out.
