Cool Down Kills Functionality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The "cool down" period for the Nest Cam wired and also Nest Cam battery is completely unacceptable and renders an otherwise stellar product nearly useless. If you get a notifcation from the Nest Cam wired, you will not get another notifcation for the next ten minutes. So if you have this camera watching a room with pets or an elder or child, or if something triggers the camera and then someone breaks in a few minutes later, you will NEVER RECEIVE A NOTIFICATION for the new event. It will record the new event that takes place within the ten minutes after the first notification, but it will not notify you. Makes absolutely no sense - let the user decide how often they want to receive notifications. Google has something good here, nice wide angle, neat design, but they are absolutely killing the potential and expected use of this Nest Cam wired with this ridiculously unacceptable cool down period.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great! Was worried about mixing 1st gen nest cameras with these newer gen Google cams. Easy to use both in the Google Home app.
I would recommend this to a friendVery good
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good product with no subscription fee it awesome
I would recommend this to a friendNOT for those with existing Nest equipment
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Maybe good if new to Google/Nest, horrible bait and switch if an existing Nest customer. You'll be forced to create a Google Home account, which disables most of the Nest integrations (such as turning off the HVAC when there's a fire). Nest smoke detectors aren't supported by the Google Home app, so now you're stuck with two apps. The Google Home app (the only place to access your new camera) is horrible. Home Screen shows useless icons with no current status views until you drill into specific categories or devices. Viewing prior video is based on clips, and can't be smoothly swiped through. This is the first Nest device I've ever returned, and the last I'll ever buy. Google has managed to destroy the Nest brand.

Posted .Hi Mike, thank you for sharing your review. We're sorry to learn that your experience with your Nest Cam (indoor, wired) has been less than ideal when it comes to using the Nest app for your device and that you had to return it. Our priority with this launch was to create an integrated experience with other Google Nest products and to make the Google Home app as the one place you can control all your Nest and other smart home devices with the Google Assistant.
If your willing to give it another go and need any assistance or have additional questions with your Nest Cam, please don't hesitate to contact us on our Google Help page here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Posted .Hi LowerEastDee, thanks for the feedback, and we’re glad to hear that you love the Nest Cam (indoor, wired). We understand that having the ability to view and control your camera in the Nest app could be convenient for you. However, our priority is to create an integrated experience with other Nest and smart home devices. While the new Nest cameras and doorbells are exclusive to the Google Home app, users with previous versions of Nest cameras, like you, can view your camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new Nest Doorbell and Nest Cams.
We hope you’re making the most out of its features, and if you run into any concerns about the Nest cameras, you can contact our support team here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
