    Far better than Ring, but horrible setup process

    Years ago, I started off with Ring cameras, but after upgrading one camera to Google Nest, I had to upgrade them all. The quality of the motion detection is far superior, but the setup process is horrible. The nest devices do not support 5GHz Wi-Fi and to get them to connect, after wasting a couple frustrating hours and starting over and over, I found that temporarily disabling 5GHz during setup resolved this. The worst part is that google support only provides useless fake/canned responses. They are so obviously canned auto-responses as they repeat your question in their useless response and do not answer the question and mark the topic as closed so that you cannot even follow up. Also, they still rely on BOTH the nest app and the home app to get multiple devices to work together, and you cannot find this anywhere in their documentation. They are far better than Ring, but they have a long way to go a leave a lot to be desired.

    Great product! We needed a wired indoor solution. Affordable, sharp, great functionality! Nest has always been easy to install with great setup guides and intuitive interfaces. If you're reading this review, you already know you should buy!

    Just what we were needing. Very easy setup (I already had the Google Home app) and it looks classy on my bookshelf. Quality of the camera is much better than my former camera. I highly recommend.

    The microphone system on this camera is amazing and the picture clarity is among the best. I'm able to switch seamlessly from camera view to other apps with very little lag in the picture

    I bought it to watch my father's sleeping pattern at night and it is quite useful. I don't have to get up all night to check on him. I just watch the camera and make sure he is comfortably sleeping. I highly recommend inside the home to keep an eye on the elderly if you are in a different part of the house.

    There are a lot of choices in the market when you're looking for a security home camera/indoor, and variations of it. I won't get into the classifications, but just know there are 1080p, 2k, 4k, wired, wireless, indoors outdoors, weather, etc. The nice thing about this product is it's supported by google and well integrated into the ios/android app environment. Pop up the app, and click all cameras, and the neat little app nicely shows all your cameras. You can control things like night vision, off/on, sound, etc, but you won't be able to move the camera/rotate the camera, just be aware. Another thing to be aware of is the subscription vs non subscription for this and all the competitors, and what they bring to the table, I recommend do a little search on it before settling on the brand also. Finally, the picture quality is great, I would give it a 8.5/10. The speed/update/responsiveness is industry standard, and it's not great, but it's not bad either. I wish all the cameras of all brands are more responsive, or pull data from the camera or the cloud faster, but in time hopefully that improves but not right now. Overall, still a good price to performance ratio, highly recommend it.

    These Google Nest Cams are great. We use them to keep an eye on our pets while we are working, either from home or the office. The wide angles and clear picture at night and day are great. A little pricey compared to other cameras, but can be worth it since everything integrates well into the Google Home app.

    We use these cameras both as a monitor in our young son's room, and in our living area to monitor the dogs while we're out. They are easy to set up and provide great quality footage.

    Great upgrade for our family. We have the legacy Nest camera which we had in place for 7+ years and made the leap by purchasing one of these cameras. The amazing upgrade in clarity and quality of the video had me refresh all 8 cameras around the house.

    I got this to cover my covered in patio, good choice so far, wanted something cheaper than the outside camera as was not really needed. Moved home with a covered patio, we will see how it fares outside. Does what I want to monitor my patio door and see when the dog eants to come back inside. Good animal detction would work well in side also but dont need that.

    so i got two of these new nest cam wired versions, i'm gonna be clear and say that for the price its OK, i do miss the older models that had a better megapixel then these and the images looked better on those when you zoomed in for a close up of a person, but these are not that bad for indoor use but inside of my basement where i have 16 very bright led
