Great Plus and Play camera!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great! Easy to setup and great picture. Reason for the 4 stars is it doesn't work with the Nest app...only the Google Home app. This leaves for a disjointed user experience which I'm sure Google will rectify over time.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat Value
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great little camera, day and night vision. It's very sensitive and you can set up a lot of different controls over what it alerts to. The microphone is phenomenal. You can hear a whisper from across a room. We installed one to test it and have gotten 2 more. For the money its a stellar product.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super easy to setup. Great build quality and the audio and video quality was so much better than previous security cameras I have used. However, I am a little bummed that Gen 2 products do NOT work with the Nest app.

||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love this product. My whole house is set up with these Google cameras along with Google hubs and other accessories.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat Camera with a couple misses.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have multiple Nest cameras around my house, and this was my first of the next generation. Easy to setup and add to your environment, great night shot ability and clear picture to boot. It is a bit disappointing that it does not integrate into the existing Nest Aware infrastructure so using the Nest App doesn't integrate this camera. Google Home is used instead. The adjustability when mounting directly to a wall is also lacking, I ended up buying a wall mount that provided more directions of freedom in adjustment.

Posted .Hi there, MichaelT. Thank you for being a loyal advocate of our Google Nest cameras. We appreciate that you had an easy time setting up your Nest Cam (Indoor, Wired) and that you liked the image quality. However, we understand your disappointment with the move to the Home app.
We wanted to create the Google Home app as the one place where you can control all your favorite 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. The Home app offers features like suspicious activity detection, 2-Step Verification, and Security Checkup to enhance your security.
- Seamless device integration. Your Google Nest devices and services will work together efficiently. For instance, if you have a Nest Cam and a Nest Hub, you can simply say, "Hey Google, show me the backyard camera" to cast your camera stream to your display without any additional setup.
- Simplified account management. You can use one account to sign into both the Nest and Google Home apps, making the user experience more streamlined.
- Consistent settings. Your homes and home members will be aligned across the Nest and Google Home apps, providing you with a more cohesive and coherent user experience.
- You may set up your older Nest cameras to the Google Home app. Check out this help article to learn more: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9893532
We understand that you may have some questions and concerns about the transition. Our support team would be delighted to answer them and ensure that you have a worthwhile experience throughout the process. Please feel free to reach out to us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

I would recommend this to a friendDisappointing Experience with Google Cameras
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I invested in the Google camera system because I liked that it allows you to check back on full video recordings, not just short clips like the Ring camera — but only if you pay for a subscription. The app itself offers some good features, but the overall experience has been frustrating at times. The video quality could definitely be better. Zooming in distorts the picture so much that it becomes almost useless. For a company like Google, I expected much better clarity. The app also needs serious work. There are times when videos simply won’t load for me, and the only fix (according to Google’s own support team) is to uninstall and reinstall the app. I’ve had to do this every few weeks just to get it working again. Another frustrating part is the shortcuts — they won’t let me see all my cameras at once for some reason. I also purchased the Google floodlight cameras for outside, but I’ve learned that cold temperatures really affect their performance. During really cold weather, the cameras sometimes stop recording altogether. The weather resistance, especially in cold temperatures, definitely needs to be improved for outdoor cameras. Overall, while there are some features I do like, I think this system has a lot of room for improvement. For those of us paying for a subscription, it’s frustrating to see the features not work properly. As of now, I would not recommend this product. There are other cameras out there with better video quality, and the recording feature (which is one of the main reasons I chose this system) only matters if the app works consistently — which it doesn’t.

BEST BUY EVER
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best buy no pun intended I have ever purchased at Best Buy I was able to keep an eye out on my cat hear water running, send people to check talk to my cat. I want more Google products
I would recommend this to a friendNice size, good price, easy setup and quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this new camera but wish it had more angle to maneuver. Great image quality and easy to setup and configure. Not bulky and doesn't stand out much wherever you put it. Hoping Google will improve the level of angle it can make when setting on walls.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works well! Easy to setup, no hassle at all. There are way cheaper options, but the catch is that they don't integrate with google assistant. Still not a bad price for a great product.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat Camera, Bad Software
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a really good camera for interior applications. The only issue I have is that you are forced to view the camera feed in Google Home, which is fine unless you have four other existing cameras that are in Nest Home. You can see the full camera installation in Google Home, but for your "legacy" cameras, there is no history or clip extraction available. Why?

Great camera
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The camera is great and an improvement to the Nest indoor cameras. However the Google App is horrible point blank! It’s hard to enjoy the hardware when the software keeps crashing constantly!

Posted .Hi there, Billybob. We appreciate your feedback on Nest Cam (Indoor, Wired). We're sorry to hear that the Home app keeps crashing.
Here are some suggested troubleshooting steps you can try out:
- Check the OS version of your mobile phone device. We recommend the following versions:
Android phone or tablet with Android 8.0 or later, and iPhone or iPad with iOS 14.0 or later versions.
- Try updating the Google Home app by going to the Google Play Store and searching for the Home app. Once you find it, tap on Update.
- Try installing the Google Home app, using the same account, on another mobile phone or tablet device, and see if you will experience the issue.
- If you don't experience the same issue with another device, we recommend uninstalling and reinstalling the Google Home app on the main mobile phone device.
If none of the steps prove to be helpful with the issue, please do not hesitate to contact our support team further help here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
