    There are a lot of choices in the market when you're looking for a security home camera/indoor, and variations of it. I won't get into the classifications, but just know there are 1080p, 2k, 4k, wired, wireless, indoors outdoors, weather, etc. The nice thing about this product is it's supported by google and well integrated into the ios/android app environment. Pop up the app, and click all cameras, and the neat little app nicely shows all your cameras. You can control things like night vision, off/on, sound, etc, but you won't be able to move the camera/rotate the camera, just be aware. Another thing to be aware of is the subscription vs non subscription for this and all the competitors, and what they bring to the table, I recommend do a little search on it before settling on the brand also. Finally, the picture quality is great, I would give it a 8.5/10. The speed/update/responsiveness is industry standard, and it's not great, but it's not bad either. I wish all the cameras of all brands are more responsive, or pull data from the camera or the cloud faster, but in time hopefully that improves but not right now. Overall, still a good price to performance ratio, highly recommend it.

    We use these cameras both as a monitor in our young son's room, and in our living area to monitor the dogs while we're out. They are easy to set up and provide great quality footage.

    Great upgrade for our family. We have the legacy Nest camera which we had in place for 7+ years and made the leap by purchasing one of these cameras. The amazing upgrade in clarity and quality of the video had me refresh all 8 cameras around the house.

    I got this to cover my covered in patio, good choice so far, wanted something cheaper than the outside camera as was not really needed. Moved home with a covered patio, we will see how it fares outside. Does what I want to monitor my patio door and see when the dog eants to come back inside. Good animal detction would work well in side also but dont need that.

    so i got two of these new nest cam wired versions, i'm gonna be clear and say that for the price its OK, i do miss the older models that had a better megapixel then these and the images looked better on those when you zoomed in for a close up of a person, but these are not that bad for indoor use but inside of my basement where i have 16 very bright led

    Nice camera. No issues. It paired well with the Google app. It was an additional camera for my home. I just wish they had a more attractive price. I still think they cost too much compared to other cameras.

    I like this little camara and it works quite well, but my only issue is it continues to turn itself off and I constantly have to turn it on in the Google Home App. Other than that I would have given it a 5 star rating.

      Hi there, Sonya! It's great to hear that you're liking Nest Cam (Indoor, Wired). We do apologize if it keeps turning off constantly.

      The issue may be related to a power issue. We recommend plugging your camera into a different power outlet and checking if it turns on. If your camera works with the new outlet without turning off again, you might have to move your camera or contact an electrician to fix the outlet. However, if power is on for your home but your camera doesn't seem to work in any outlet, the power cable might have an issue. Replace the cable and check whether your camera works. Finally, if none of the recommended steps work and the issue persists, please do not hesitate to reach out to our support team. We may need to have a closer look at your Nest Cam (Indoor, Wired) and figure out what may be causing the issue and see how we can help you best. You may contact us via the Google Nest help page here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Great in home camera. I purchased this to be able to keep an eye on my new puppy. Clarity is great. Facial recognition is actually really good. Love that I can talk through the camera to her. Super easy to install and very reliable. Bought a second one for my daughter to watch her pups.

    Reliable Surveillance with Smart Features

    I recently had the opportunity to experience the Google Nest Cam (Wired) in Snow, and it certainly stands out as a dependable home surveillance solution with some impressive smart functionalities. Here's a breakdown of my thoughts: Pros: Reliability: The Nest Cam's reliability is its strong suit. It delivers consistent, high-quality video, providing a clear view of the surroundings. The 1080p HD resolution captures details effectively, making it easy to discern faces and other critical features within the frame. Smart Features: The integration of smart features is impressive. The ability to set activity zones and receive specific alerts based on these zones is incredibly useful. Additionally, the two-way audio feature works well for communication and surveillance purposes. Ease of Use: Setting up the Nest Cam was straightforward. The user interface is intuitive, and the app is user-friendly, allowing for easy navigation and control. Monitoring and adjusting settings can be done from anywhere, offering peace of mind even when away from home. Compatibility: It seamlessly integrates with other Google Nest products and smart home devices. The wider Nest ecosystem allows for a more connected and streamlined home surveillance experience. Cons: Subscription for Full Features: While the basic functionalities are quite impressive, to unlock the full potential of the Nest Cam, a subscription for the Nest Aware service is required. This might be an additional cost that some users may not initially anticipate. In summary, the Google Nest Cam (Wired) in Snow offers excellent reliability, smart features, and ease of use, making it a strong contender in the home surveillance market. It provides peace of mind for homeowners looking to keep an eye on their property. However, the necessity of a subscription for advanced features could be a drawback for some potential users. Overall, I rate it 4 out of 5 stars for its consistent performance and smart capabilities, though the subscription requirement is a point to consider.
