Posted .Hi aspears1935, we appreciate your feedback that the Nest Cam (indoor, wired) is of good quality, and we’re sorry to learn of your difficult experience with accessing videos, and with its connectivity.
A range issue or wireless interference can cause your camera to disconnect from your Wi-Fi. Sometimes it may pass the connection test during setup, but will struggle to stay connected if it’s just a bit too far away. You may also check for objects such as mirrors and refrigerators between the camera and your router as these items could block the connection. For more help, read Troubleshooting wireless interference here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9276282
You may also reach out to us anytime so we can check for other reasons why your camera is behaving differently. You’ll find us always ready to help you here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelpith

Great product, terrible software
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Although these new Nest Cam themselves are great (good video quality and nice product materials) the Google Home service itself is a mess. I have the old Nest camera products as well as these new Google Nest cameras. The older Nest cameras still work on the Nest app, which is MUCH better at handling the security footage compared to the Google Home app. The problem with the Google Home app is that you can't playback footage that has just been recorded - you have to wait several minutes before it's accessible. This completely defeats the purpose of these cameras as security cameras when you want to see the footage from the notification you just received. Also just scrubbing through footage is noticeably worse on the Google Home app compared to the Nest app. These new Google Nest cameras may be great products themselves, but the software interface makes this just a "meh" product. The fact that we are no longer able to add these new cameras to the old Nest app (that still works perfectly, especially compared to the Google Home interface) just ruins it. Alphabet needs to make their Google Home app as comprehensive and functional as the Nest app before I can recommend these cameras to anyone. Live view works great, but trying to playback anything is going to be problematic.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Nest Support
Posted .Hi LMRN, thanks for sharing the details of your feedback on Nest Cam (Indoor, Wired), and we’re sorry to learn your expectations are not met. The new Nest cameras and doorbell are exclusive to the Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience with your speakers and displays. A Nest Aware subscription applies to all of your cameras, speakers, and displays in the same home structure. And you can view both your old and new Nest Cams together in the Home app.
We request for your patience as we’re working on a seamless solution to create a better user experience. And we suggest having the latest version of the Google Home app that may improve camera playback controls to make it easier to play, pause, and navigate between events from the camera history view for cameras set up in the Google Home app.
Meanwhile, we’d like an opportunity to investigate why it takes a few minutes before you can see the footage from your notification. If you’re willing to share more details about this issue, please get in touch with us anytime here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Snow White Nest Cam, Indoor, Wired (2nd generation
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m sure the camera works good. I have the Nest app and have 2 cameras (from 2017) that still work great. I thought since it’s a 2nd generation that I could use Google Home app to set it up. Not so. I get the message that I have to migrate my Nest account. Birds migrate. Butterflies migrate. Now my app migrates too. What does that really mean in laymen’s talk not IT talk. I don’t want to lose what I see in my Nest app so I haven’t set up this camera yet.

Posted .Hi Jakey, thanks for the feedback that you shared about the Nest Cam (indoor, wired), and we’re sorry to learn you came across this issue about account migration.
If you migrate your Nest Account to a Google Account, your experience of your Nest home and products will change. Migration is optional, and once completed, is not reversible, so it’s important to understand the changes that migration will bring before you start. We recommend that you read all the information in the “Important changes when you migrate” and “Privacy and Terms of Service” sections to help decide if migration is right for you at this time, here’s the link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9297676
Migrating your Nest Account to a Google Account is optional to create one unified Google Account that you can use to manage products and homes in both the Nest and Google Home apps. If you migrate, your Nest data will be associated with your Google Account. To learn how Google will use your Nest data if you migrate and how you can manage your Google settings, read our Privacy FAQs here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9415830
You’re more than welcome to contact us anytime at the following link if you have any questions about the account migration process, or if you need help with the performance and features of the camera: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
