Good value for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had to upgrade with the 2nd gen indoor camera was released. Better all around at a cheaper price. Wish this camera came with a battery back-up as the new outdoor camera. Communication is a little laggy sometimes but overall you can hear and be heard.

Posted .Hi Mike, we´re glad you liked Nest Cam (Indoor,Wired). We´re sorry to hear about the laggy communication issue you are experiencing.
Laggy issues may be related to the any of the following reasons below:
- Possible congestion of your network. Removing some of your connected devices may free up some bandwidth space and enable you to test if the issue will happen again. Once you verify congestion, we recommend contacting your Internet service provider for a possible upgrade of your bandwidth connection.
- Interference caused by electrical appliances and thick walls in your home. Placing your Nest Cam much closer to your router, or in a location where it can get better signal reception may be helpful.
We value your feedback and we´ll make sure to pass along this information to the right team. If you encounter any further issue, please consider contacting our support team for further troubleshooting and isolation here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
Very sleek, but could use more features
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy set up and works well with all my other Google home devices. There's no way to disable the led light so it can be kind of distracting as a baby monitor, but ultimately gets the job done

I would recommend this to a friendStarted 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.

Security camera

I would recommend this to a friendJunk 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
