    Camera is fine for what it is. Just like any camera of this type, a subscription is basically required to use this fully. IR lights are insanely bright, so bright that you can put tape over them and still retain some functionality. That being said, Ive never heard a louder click come from a camera when switching to IR. Good lord, lol. The audio is very "meh". Anything making noise near the camera will completely drown out anything else. Not ideal. The provided cord for power is USB? WHY?! Im not cutting the cable to find out, but I doubt you could extend this wire as easily. Im talking cutting and splicing. Most USB extension cables require...power...soooo....poor planning on their part. Who knows, maybe the only wires being used are power and ground. Camera feels sturdy. I wouldnt mount this outdoors, though.

    I have multiple Nest cameras around my house, and this was my first of the next generation. Easy to setup and add to your environment, great night shot ability and clear picture to boot. It is a bit disappointing that it does not integrate into the existing Nest Aware infrastructure so using the Nest App doesn't integrate this camera. Google Home is used instead. The adjustability when mounting directly to a wall is also lacking, I ended up buying a wall mount that provided more directions of freedom in adjustment.

      Hi there, MichaelT. Thank you for being a loyal advocate of our Google Nest cameras. We appreciate that you had an easy time setting up your Nest Cam (Indoor, Wired) and that you liked the image quality. However, we understand your disappointment with the move to the Home app.

      We wanted to create the Google Home app as the one place where you can control all your favorite Nest devices and other smart home devices with the Google Assistant. Here are some benefits you can get by using the Google Home app with your Nest Cam (Indoor, Wired):
      - Automatic security protections. The Home app offers features like suspicious activity detection, 2-Step Verification, and Security Checkup to enhance your security.
      - Seamless device integration. Your Google Nest devices and services will work together efficiently. For instance, if you have a Nest Cam and a Nest Hub, you can simply say, "Hey Google, show me the backyard camera" to cast your camera stream to your display without any additional setup.
      - Simplified account management. You can use one account to sign into both the Nest and Google Home apps, making the user experience more streamlined.
      - Consistent settings. Your homes and home members will be aligned across the Nest and Google Home apps, providing you with a more cohesive and coherent user experience.
      - You may set up your older Nest cameras to the Google Home app. Check out this help article to learn more: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9893532

      We understand that you may have some questions and concerns about the transition. Our support team would be delighted to answer them and ensure that you have a worthwhile experience throughout the process.

    The Google Nest Cam (Wired) in Snow has been a reliable addition to my home security setup. Its crisp video quality and wide-angle lens provide comprehensive coverage. The wired connection ensures a stable and consistent feed. The Nest app's user-friendly interface and smart alerts keep me informed of any activity. Installation was straightforward, and the sleek, white design seamlessly blends into my home decor. Overall, a highly effective and aesthetically pleasing choice for those prioritizing home security and surveillance.

    Great overall camera, would recommend. Easy to setup but strong wifi is a must. Reconnecting to a new wifi can be annoying but overall 8/10 camera. Picture is great during the day but does need some light at night if the camera is looking out a front door window etc. I think a mix of outdoor and this indoor cam would be perfect. Find what your needs will be before purchasing. 30 day recording history is also $8 a month..... keep in mind.

    I put this in a window to overlook a parking lot after a car break-in. You can disable the IR lights in settings, so it works at night without reflections off the glass. You get notifications of movement telling you vehicles, animals or people, through the Google Home app and 3 hours of free recordings. The app lets you download clips to share. The cord is fairly long and the camera is easy to setup. 1080 is pretty good, but not like CSI enhance! levels of detail. Good value if on sale.

    The built-in AI, especially the garage door sensors, is a great addition for security and convenience. The image quality is much clearer, and the integrated microphone offers significantly better sound and range compared to previous models. My only suggestion is to include 4K resolution in future versions for improved zoom and detail.

    The Nest Cam Indoor is the perfect addition to any smart home. The video quality is excellent, even in low light, and the two-way audio works great for communicating with family or pets. Setup was simple through the Google Home app, and I love the real-time alerts and activity history. It gives me peace of mind when I'm away from home. Definitely recommend it!

    Best helper with my kids

    Perfect to supervise my kids while they stay alone at home as I work. Easy to talk to them without waiting until one of them picks a phone or anything. Just talking straight out to them on the cam, we can choose together their dinner so I buy it and send it to them. No more rush from farmlands to the city and I know they won´t have upside down the house when I arrive after work. It setups in minutes with Nest Hub scanning the QR provided with the cam. Use it with Google Home on your phone. Is a great pairing, google tv, cams, lights, air conditioner, all together. I can manage temperature as kids always want colder. And I see them when doing so. So I can see who is guilty of charges all the time.

    The hardware itself is high-quality and durable, but the software (via google home) can sometimes be lacking. Good option if you are looking for a quick/easy to set up camera with pretty high quality video feed.

    I purchased this Nest camera to install in my basement so I could watch my young children playing in the play area while working upstairs. It was worked very well and was very simple to set up and start using. I can easily pull up the video feed on my smart phone or from the Nest Hub that I purchased as well. The field of view on this camera is very wide and I'm able to clearly see the entire area. I would definitely purchase another one if I need another area covered.

    Great wired camera for your home

    I already had the Nest doorbell camera, and I was looking for an accompanying indoor camera to keep an eye on my dog when I wasn’t home. I chose the Google Nest wired indoor camera to fit my needs. The first task I had to do was migrate my Nest doorbell camera to my Google account, since the Nest account does not accommodate the Google indoor camera. Once the accounts were merged, the process of adding the Google Nest camera was very easy. Using your smart phone’s camera to capture the smart label on the camera identifies all the information needed by the app to begin the setup process. Within five minutes and after accepting the google user agreements and naming the camera you’re up and running. The camera gives you the option to mount the camera on a wall or the ceiling or use the camera’s stand to place it on a flat surface. For my application I chose to place it in a cabinet to keep it out of site. The app gives you three hour history look back and Google-Nest have plans for you to capture longer history from the camera. All in all this is a very good indoor camera for keeping an eye on your home while you are away.

    We set up our camera in one of our sheds to monitor our feral cat and it’s done well throughout all seasons! Never lose connection and the night vision is perfect. We are looking forward to buying additional cameras for the rest of the home.

    Great if you are invested in the nest ecosystem

    Really nice camera; well built and heavy. Picture quality is perfectly adequate. For the $100 price, it’s a solid camera if you are in the Nest ecosystem. Unlike the new outdoor/battery cameras (which I also have), this unit records 24/7 video vs just event history. If you aren’t in the Nest ecosystem, there are cheaper alternatives that offer the same video quality and similar features. Also note, annoyingly (and this has nothing to do with the camera itself) Google’s migration from the Nest app to Google Home isn’t complete, and this camera isn’t compatible with the Nest app, which impacts the user experience for those who already have older Nest products.

    Solid Indoor Camera

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The camera quality is good and since it's a wired device, I have not had any issues with connectivity. For an indoor camera, you won't be disappointed. For install, when you take the sticker off the camera itself, don't throw it away as it has the QR code and you will want it for an easier installation. I am just not much of a Google Home app fan. It just lacks the ability to set alerts that make sense. I have all alerts turned off because you cannot set it up to only get alerts from specific times of the day. I have yet to research other options but I'm sure there is a solution out there.
