Posted .Hi Justin, we truly appreciate your feedback on Nest Cam (indoor, wired), and we’re sorry to learn of your disappointment that you can’t use the camera through the Nest app.
The new Nest Cam (indoor, wired) is exclusive to the Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience. We chose to transition to the Home app because this app is designed for the future of the smart home, a single place to set up, manage, automate, and control your home. 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.
We’ve taken note of our feedback and we’ll pass it along to our dedicated team as it helps us identify areas we can improve for our users like you. And for any concerns about using the Nest camera and the Home app, our dedicated team will always be ready to help you here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Great hardware.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product (as all previous Nest cameras were). The only caveat is that it does not work with the Nest app, only google app (which is inferior).

Posted .Hi JimiD, we're glad you liked Nest Cam (Indoor, Wired). We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with the Google Home app.
The new Nest Cameras and doorbells are exclusive to the Google Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience with other Google Nest speakers and displays. We wanted to make the Google Home app as the one place you can control all your favorite Nest and other smart home devices with the Google Assistant. If you already have some Nest cameras installed in your home, you may transfer them to the Google Home app. Here´s a guide that you can follow: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9893532

Spying is awesome
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Let’s my spy on my house when I’m not home. I love spying on my kids and husband. Makes me feel part of the day when I’m at work.
I would recommend this to a friend quick and easy setup
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I installed this in my garage on the ceiling in the corner. This allows me to monitor inside my garage (and also ensure that I have the garage door closed). Since I installed from the ceiling my image was flipped. When you are setting up the camera in the app you can flip it so that it appears normal. The camera also allows you to talk through it as well which is nice. The audio quality (ability to listen to others from the camera) is difficult at times.
