I would recommend this to a friend Reasons why I like Google Nest Cams
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is not my first Google Nest Cam. I use them indoors and outdoors to be able to monitor the various rooms in the house and the pool area in the back yard. 1) I use the notifications to alert me to when the pool cleaner, lawn maintenance, AC maintenance and others are in the yard. 2) The Cams also work well with my Lifx (Nightvision) bulbs which "light" areas I want to be able to monitor in the dark. 3) Can be integrated into Apple HomeKit. 4) They also act as a motion sensor for turning lights on and off with Apple HomeKit. (very pricey verses dedicated motion sensors but if I am going to place a cam somewhere where and it can act as a motion sensor, why not)
I would recommend this to a friendFine camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Camera works fine easy to set up. But unfortunately I can’t merge it onto my nest site. Only on my google account. Which I fine odd since I have my nest thermostat on my google site.

It does what it needs to do…
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall it does what it needs to do. I do wish it had a little wider field of view, but by no means is it bad.

Posted .Hi there, DanielM. Thank you for your feedback about the Nest Cam indoor wired.Your Nest Cam indoor wired has a 135° field of view and we understand that you would prefer a wider field of view to cover a larger area. Know that we hear you and we've taken note of it. In the meantime, you can try mounting the camera in a different location to get a better view of the area you want to monitor. If you need technical assistance or you have questions, please reach out to our dedicated team of specialists on the Google Help Center here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Posted .Hi there, BigJ2049. We're glad to hear that you're finding the camera and build quality of Nest Cam (wired) great. We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with the transition from the Nest app to the Home app for the new generation of Nest cameras.
We wanted to make 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 (wired):
- Automatic security protections such as Suspicious activity detection, 2-Step Verification and Security Checkup.
- Your Google Nest devices and services will work together. For example, if you have a Nest Cam and a Nest Hub, just say, """"Hey Google, show me the backyard camera” to cast your camera stream to your display without any additional setup.
- One account to sign into both the Nest and Google Home apps.
- Your homes and home members will be aligned across the Nest and Google Home apps.
- If you have older Nest cameras, you have the option to set them up within the Google Home app. For a detailed guide on this process, please refer to this informative help article: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9893532
If you need further help, or would like us to answer any other questions you may still have, please do not hesitate to reach out to us using this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Junk compared to the Original Nests
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have 9 Original Nest Thermostats, 2 doorbells, and 4 cameras. Google ruined Nest, it’s not a Nest anymore without the functionality of the Nest app nor is the actual camera as good as the original. Google Home is just another poorly built privacy and data grab app by Google. It’s so bad you have to use the Nest app to add the camera to Google Home, but they intentionally won’t let you see your “new” camera in Nest. REALLY? What a joke. This is all a way to force you to google home. If you wanted me in google home then adapt Google home to Nest, then I might consider migrating. They admit they are trying to force you to their inferior Home app in many of the complaint reviews about the app. Don’t have Alexa, don’t want google spying on every word I say just so I can turn my lights on. This “google” camera replaced a Nest I moved outside. The google camera does not have remotely the same flexibility of the “true” Nest it replaced. It’s harder to see the video feed in the home app vs the Nest app, it’s harder to add to the home app than it was in Nest. If you are a google drone already, you will probably not care. If you are legacy Nest, everything about the Google migration and the hardware is inferior. When google quits supporting the Nest App, I’m converting to something else, if one of my Legacy Nest products breaks, I’m replacing with anything but a google product.

Posted .Hi YMMV, thanks for sharing your experience. We apologize that you’re unable to use Nest Cam (indoor, wired) on Nest App.
The new Nest Cam (indoor, wired) is exclusive to the Home app. Our long term plan is to use the Google Home app as the one place you can control all of your favorite Nest and other smart home devices, as well as Google Assistant. In the near future, we’ll allow users to set up previous Nest devices and have full control in the Home app. Users with older cameras can view their camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new Nest Cams. Our team is working on bringing full functionality to the Google Home app so all of your cameras can be set up and controlled in one place.
