Incompatible with Nest and Google Home
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Camera was not compatible with Nest App. The Nest App gave instructions to set up in Google Home, but the Google Home app said to use the Nest App to set up. Bottom line: set up was incompatible with both Nest and Google Home apps. Returning this product to the store.

I would recommend this to a friendHalf of the features behind a pay wall
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The amount of features locked behind a pay wall honestly turned me off after buying the product, and eventually led to its eventual return. It is a quality camera, however, I can’t help but feel there’s better options on the market.

I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from Nest Support
Posted .Hello Nest user, we’re grateful for your feedback, and we hear your concern about the data usage of Nest Cam (indoor, wired).
When you pick video quality and bandwidth settings, you set the maximum video quality for your camera. Your camera will automatically adjust video resolution and compression according to how much bandwidth is available. You only use download bandwidth when you watch video in the app over Wi-Fi. This typically requires the same amount of bandwidth it takes to upload the video. Your camera also uses a small amount of bandwidth to download software updates and other information from the Nest service. If you need your camera to use less data over the course of a month, you can try some of the things below:
- Lower the video quality and bandwidth settings so that your camera won't use as much data to upload video to the cloud.
- Use Home & Away Routines (Home app) or Home/Away Assist (Nest app) to turn your camera on and off automatically. This is especially useful if your camera has 24/7 video history, so that it doesn't constantly upload video to the Nest service.
- Some camera and doorbell models can also use camera schedules to turn on and off automatically to help reduce the amount of data used. Please note that It's not recommended to stream camera video with a mobile hotspot.

Sleek design
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve owned Nest cameras since they first came out. The new Google Nest cameras are just as good. Nice and clean look.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great smart cam. Unfortunately doesn't work with the nest app but I've slowly moved everything over to the Google Home platform
I would recommend this to a friendGreat value camera

I would recommend this to a friendPretty Good
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good for the kids room. We're able to keep an eye on the kids and talk them from wherever we are if need. Sometimes it randomly disconnects from Google Home and I have to reconnect in the app. Only thing I really dont like is that you can't stream video from the camera; not compatible with the latest Chromecast with Google TV.

Posted .Hi NotoriousJt, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to learn that you’re having connectivity issues, and that you’re unable to stream videos with your Nest Cam (indoor, wired).
For connectivity issues, you can check the following:
- Check the location and distance of Nest Cam (indoor,wired). Make sure the device is within the recommended distance (15-20 ft.) away from the router.
- Check for possible sources of interference such as microwave ovens, refrigerator or other devices in your home that may weaken Wi-Fi signals.
- If you have a dual band router, try setting up your device on either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz bands and see which band is more stable.
- Outdated phone and Google Home app.
We understand that being able to stream videos using the new Nest Cam (indoor,wired) is a great feature. We’ve taken note of your feedback, and we’ll make sure this gets passed along to the right team. If you need assistance, our support team is always here to help. Feel free to contact us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
nice addition

Posted .Hi pet22, we really appreciate your insights with the Nest Cam (indoor, wired). We’re aware that longtime Nest users enjoy viewing their Nest camera feeds from the Nest app. However, our priority with this launch was building a complete experience for our new cameras and doorbell in the Google Home app. We’re working on bringing full functionality to the Home app as we want 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 like you with previous versions of Nest cameras can view your camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new Nest Doorbell and Nest Cams.
We're always here to help you improve your experience. If you run into an issue with your Nest camera and with using it effectively in the Google Home app, you're always welcome to contact us using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
