Good camera if youre in the Google ecosystem
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My apartment has the Nest thermostat, so i got a Nest & Lenovo display. Adsing this and the Doorbell camera have been freat additions. I replaced a $25 Yi camera with this. I love that i dont have to pay for a monthly subscription if I don’t need it, but the camera is still bery useful. It covers my entire living room, dinning room and front door. If i speak theought it, i can be headd clearly. I can view it on my Google displays, or in the Google Home app on my iphone, Android or iPads (I have a lot of devices). I would definitely recommend. I had one glitch where i couldnonly see a white screen on my phone, but audio was working. I unplugged the can, plugged it back ij and it started working again. I also have Google Fiber for internet, so everything just works really well together.

Nice wired camera

view without presense
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife, who is a caregiver needed to see her invalid mother when she would not be in the room. The camera allows my wife to see her mother anywhere by looking on her cell phone. The camera greatly serves our need.

Good Camera, Very Limited on AI Saved Footage
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a nice little camera. Good picture quality in light or dark conditions. Easy to set up. Unobtrusive. My only complaint is with the software. You aren't able to just review a few days worth of footage from start to finish. The only footage that saves are clips the camera deems worthy of note. So I'll get a save clip of something, but I'm not able to back up to a minute before the camera decided something interesting was going on, nor am I able to continue with the footage past when the camera decides nothing else interesting happened. Considering you have to pay for the service to save footage at all, they need to make it more flexible and not expect you to just be satisfied with whatever the AI decides is worth watching.

Posted .Hi Drewid83, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear your disappointment about Nest Cam (indoor, wired).
The Nest Cam (indoor, wired) has a basic sound and motion feature that is designed to analyze its video data for people, animals, and moving vehicles, and can recognize when the same people reappear. To detect anything besides a person, animal, or moving vehicle, the camera checks for general motion in the scene. It learns what’s normally in its background view and looks for movement and changes. As a result, it can sometimes trigger not just for important things, but also for minor things like tree branches that sway in the wind. If you only need your camera to detect people, animals, or moving vehicles, it's recommended that you do not turn on this feature.
To change detection settings:
- Open the Google Home app .
- Tap your camera or doorbell.
- Tap Settings > Event.

I would recommend this to a friend Great camera, need more of them!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I originally got this for my garage, the install was a breeze, and streaming it to my Nest Hub worked perfectly. Then I moved it to watch my smoker while at my desk to make sure everything was in order. Now it's floating around the house for misc purposes. It seems that I may need another one for the garage now.

I would recommend this to a friendEasy to set up
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cam is easy to set up and I've had no errors with it at all. The cam has an extra long wire if you need to attach it anywhere high to get a better view of the room you put it in. The only time it's ever turned off is during a power outage.

Solid, reliable camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great camera, excellent image. That said, I am NOT a fan of the Google app that you're forced to use. Terrible format, horrible user interface. Surprising Google hasn't figured this out yet and upgraded - if you're a Nest user, their app was incredible.

Posted .Hi osbrown, thanks for sharing your experience. We apologize if you’re unable to add your Nest Cam (indoor, wired) in the Nest App.
The new Nest Cam (indoor, wired) is exclusive to the Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience. 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.
We value your feedback and your satisfaction is what drives us in improving our products and services. If you have any questions or concerns, you can always reach out to our support team. We’d be more than happy to help here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Great security cam for a great price!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camera works great for those who want to run a security camera thru wifi network. The Google Home app works great as well and very simple. Great addition for peace of mind when away from home.
I would recommend this to a friend Works for what I needed it for
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought it to watch the new pups for the brief periods that they're left alone while I go to the store. Only 3 hours free otherwise I hear you have to pay, so if I am gone 2 hours I quickly preview what's happened and delete that 2 hours thus leaving me 3 hours free ahain. Plus I delete the history once home and all is fine. Complaints are bad feedback microphone speaker noise when I walk in the room and still have the app open. I usually have to turn the camera off via the app before entering witch I shouldn't have to. App can be confusing to remember where to find some of the features perhaps after I use it enough I will remember.

Nest wired camera
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great little camera for inside auto the weather. I added this to my garage always paranoid if the garage is closed or not so it’s nice to just go and check on the app. Not too bad of a price, but even better if you can catch it on at a discount

Peace of mind
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is additional to 2 existing Nest Cams to my parents home.

Shift life helper
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not perfect, it does have some odd quirks and isn't the best without the subscription which is kind of annoying. But it does allow me to check in on pets while I'm away on shift for 24 hours
