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

Started okay; now a potential source for epilepsy
||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. Have to manually disconnect the product (& re-plug) and the problem will go away temporarily (but comes back too quickly). I put my camera in night vision mode nowadays to prevent epilepsy.

Pretty good camera, with some flaws
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty good, but I miss the previous Nest cameras that worked with the Nest app. You can really see the design choices that are influenced by Google's product strategy than when Nest was it's own company. This camera doesn't has sacrificed quality in build and features for a cheaper device that can be more mass spread. It also makes you use the Google Home app which doesn't have as much function as the previous Nest app. I do like the smaller form factor and the easy mounting capability.

Posted .Hi Frank, thanks for sharing your feedback with us. We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with the Google Home up and Nest Cam (Indoor, Wired).
Our goal was to make the Google Home app the one place where you can control all your favorite Google 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 (Indoor, 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're willing to try, you may set up your Nest cameras to the Google Home app. Check out this help article: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9893532
