Customer Ratings & Reviews

We bought 2 one for my house and one for my daddys we absolutely love these great pic great recording view is great i love the face recognition highly recommend

Excellent camera for monitoring our pets! We've had no issues over the 1+ month of use so far.

I love this product, I placed in family room to monitor my 4 grandkids when I’m upstairs. Able to hear clearly, speak clearly and see them clear

Have multiple of these and they’ve always worked great. I love the whole ecosystem they work within.

This camera and Google Home are garbage! I have been a big supporter of the nest cameras but since Google is now trying to move everything to google home it’s a disaster. I can't believe they released this Nest camera without Nest App support. I own 16 Nest / Drop -cams and 10 Nest outdoor cameras. All of the previous models I have purchased have been a breeze to install and manage. The magnetic attachment on the outdoor cameras was brilliant. These new cameras are very poor quality and have some major limitations. The first issue is the power cord is fixed to the camera. The camera might be ok sitting on a desk when there is not a need to install on a wall however wall installations are a serious problem. The camera cannot rotate with ease and is limited to the angle. If the camera is not installed in the perfect location on the wall then the camera image crooked. The base is silicone, so you can't mount it to the wall with 3M Velcro strips like you used to be easily able to. Rotation angle from the base is also restricted, but it's not obvious how the range of motion is restricted by looking at it. There is no way to compensate for this on the camera app “Google Home” which Is also garbage at the moment. One of the main reasons I like the nest cameras is the nest app. Don’t plan on using this any longer because google has ruined it by making users only use the Google Home app for these cameras. Even though these cameras are supposedly nest cameras they don’t work with the nest app. A HUGE MISS ON GOOGLES PART. I called google and they said they are moving to google home. In my opinion google should be migrating their software from google home to the nest app and not the opposite which is what they are currently doing. Onto the Google home app. Where to start? Well the first problem is on the google home app its slow, and doesn’t allow for live feeds. To review the cameras history you have to use a timeline that doesn’t work or in my case says the camera feeds are not available at the moment and to come back. The Home App doesn't let you see more than one live feed per page, so you have to manually select each camera to see its feed. With the Nest App (and Nest webpage) you can have a panel where you can see all of your cameras live at the same time. Google did mention they have had a lot of feedback with the request to show the camera live views when you open the app but it doesn’t work at the moment. So google how do you plan to migrate all the cameras from nest to google home? Now I have two apps to use cameras! I am not sure who the development team for Google home is but they should be all fired. Reluctantly, I am returning all 6 of the new google nest indoor wired cameras. Guessing at some point I will be forced to use the Google home app at which point I will most likely have to find a new camera company.

This new Nest camera only works with Google Home, it doesn't work with the Nest app. I will be returning the 4 cameras I bought because Google Home is a horrible app and a lot of the features of the Nest app are not available. It is very misleading to call it a Nest camera.

Easy set up, works as it should. Great product, great price.

Great purchase! I definitely plan on setting up the rest of the house on the Nest ecosystem.

working good and worth buy it. Excellent value for money.

I've been a heavy Nest Cam user for awhile now and they've been fairly great for what they are. The new lineup however, forces you to use the Google Home application - which is not at all fully baked. The things you lose by being forced into the Google Home App: - Consistent fast connection to multiple cameras; the App loads each camera stream individually and will only load a few at a time with 5-15seconds to connect. Not what you want if you're trying to see something happening. - Web interface; this one's a huge deal breaker. Being able to quickly load up my Nest cameras while at my computer is fantastic. Finding my phone, loading the Home App, Clicking to "Cameras" and then clicking each one when I want it... not so much. - Reliability... something that's super important for... yaknow, a security camera. The Google Home App really falls down when it comes to reliably connecting to cameras. You regularly have to force-close the Google Home App and restart the whole thing over again to get to a camera - which, again - you probably want to see NOW. Google's MO is to release and abandon software, so I really wouldn't count on this ever improving - only getting worse. I definitely recommend looking into a different ecosystem, or getting the older pre-Google Nest Cameras. It's a great piece of hardware... the software that you have to use to interface with it is just terrible, making the whole thing not worth it.

This product does not work with the NEST app (despite the fact that it is a NEST product). It also does not allow the cam to be viewed from your computer's browser. Google has responded here with what "their" priority was for this product which is to push people to the Google Home app. Well Google I'm hear to tell you that "my" priority as a consumer is to have a product that works. And this one falls short in many ways. You haven't answered why it would have been such a tall task for you to include the new line of cams in the NEST app until such time that the Google Home app was ready and usable (which is isn't). Also, telling the user base that we will see the NEST App features appear in the Google Home app sometime in 2022 is completely not acceptable to me.

I picked one of these up about a year ago. I'm a big Google fanboy and I'm very much engrained in the Google ecosystem. My house has several Nest/Google Home Speakers, a hub, a few smart clocks, Chromecasts, Google TV devices, etc. I'm very tech savvy and have no problem setting up, using, and troubleshooting devices in general. Short version is: These are almost unusable. Despite having a Nest Wifi mesh network across my house, and trying this camera in multiple locations (including about 15 ft from the primary router with a direct line of sight), it's almost not even worth having. I can connect to the camera and view the stream, but it only takes about 30 seconds before the stream freezes and then shows a spinner. Sometimes it'll recover, only to pause again shortly after, but most of the time it disconnects completely and says it's unable to display the video feed. If you try again, most of the time it will just continue to say it can't display the video feed until you wait and try again later. And forget trying to talk through it. This is on a home network with gigabit fiber internet (tested at about 800mbps down & up), with practically no other device activity (no one is even home), and confirmed to not suffer from bufferbloat or anything. It doesn't matter what quality setting you use, what device you view from, or how good your internet connection is on the client. I can close the Google Home app, and check my $50 Eufy camera, and get a quick, reliable video stream. It's farther from the router, and honestly the quality is better too. The only reason I didn't give this 1 star for quality is because the actual physical hardware presentation is nice. It feels like a high-end product. It just doesn't perform like one.

Excellent product. Nice color blend Will recommend

So disappointed, Nest was amazing before google messed it up, this new camera is not ot very good compared to the old IQ cameras, the apps don’t work together, old cameras only work on the nest app and new cameras only work on the google app, they will not work on the nest app at all! The nest app is way better than the google app, nest is streamlined, easy to work and modify each camera to your needs, the new google app is very limited and confusing if your unfamiliar with google apps. It’s a mess! Now iv spent a fortune on these cameras it’s a waste if google doesn’t get its self together. Hey google, leave nest alone.. let the cameras do there thing inclusively on nest! Now I’m wishing I invested in ring instead of nest.

These cameras claim to be 1080p, except when in live video mode, they only transmitt at 360-480p at best. I have 3 Nest indoor wired cameras throughout interior of our home. They are connected to gigabit internet on a mesh router with two satellite routers. Even the camera that is 8 feet from the router with a clear line of sight has same crappy live video feed. Even when viewing device is connected to home internet, the quality remains the same. I have even tried resetting the cameras to fix issue, but nothing works. Buyer Beware.

Fantastic product! Sure helps with security and peace of mind.

At first it was great if you have the subscription, once its expires you have such little time, compared to others. It also randomly stopped working. I went to try to reset it and the whole process was a pain that I gave up. Its junk, try another or just install an actual camera system to never pay subscription for life.

I can't believe they released this Nest camera without Nest App support. I own 7 Nest / Drop -cams with 6 Protects and love being able to see all the live feeds on one page. The Home App doesn't let you see more than one live feed per page, so you have to manually select each camera to see its feed. With the Nest App (and Nest webpage) you can have a panel where you can see all of your cameras live at the same time. The cord is not detachable like the old Nest Cam; it's soldered in the back of the camera itself. This wouldn't be a problem if it weren't so long, but it's bulky as heck. What if your cord breaks or your cat chews on it? You can't just buy another cord. The base is silicone, so you can't mount it to the wall with 3M Velcro strips like you used to be easily able to. Rotation angle from the base is also restricted, but it's not obvious how the range of motion is restricted by looking at it. Various features are missing in the Home app, like being able to scrub through 24/7 video history and record clips wherever you want. As a long time Nest supporter since the Dropcam days, I am so disappointed with this launch : / At least the new talking alert tone is nice...

Camera is fine and Google home is fine but you can not cast to anything other then the nest hub. This is a step backwards and very disappointing. All other nest cameras can cast to any device (Google TV, Nvidia Shield, Lenovo smart Clock, etc.) If this is not addressed ASAP then what is the point of a smart home when you cant ask google to see your same branded camera.

I was essentially forced to purchase this when Google shutdown all older Nest and Dropcams. So fine i'll be the new one since mine is now "obsolete" according to google. After receiving the new camera and setting it up I find out that it lacks functionality that my dropcam pro had, which makes it absolutely useless for me. So just buyer beware, Google will probably decide to remotely shut these down after a few years whether they are working or not.
