Great

I would recommend this to a friend Camera great! Delivery via Shipt is AWEFUL
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Put this camera in my garage to monitor my CNC machine. Easy setup and connection. Had everything running in just a few minutes. Would not suggest letting Best Buy deliver via Shipt. Shipt is AWEFUL. Said it would be delivered on Tuesday, didn't get delivered until Wednesday. Tracking kept showing picked up and on its way. I would have been better off to pick up at the store.

An excellent and affordable security option
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Simple. Efficient. Reliable. The camera quality is excellent with very little lag, nightvision enables quickly as lights dim and brighten, and the audio pick-up and mic are fantastic!

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.

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
Peace of mind
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased these cameras because they add peace of mind, especially at an apartment complex and the fact that I am home only on weekends. it makes it very nice to be able to view them at any given time so that way I know what is going on
I would recommend this to a friendVery good

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Is a great camera - pretty easy to set up - Good clarity. I just wished I could zoom in more with the app but haven’t been able to.
I would recommend this to a friendSmart, Clear, and Always Connected
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Google Nest Cam is a reliable security camera with clear 1080p HD video, night vision, and smart alerts, that can tell the difference between people, pets, and vehicles. It offers live streaming and two-way audio, so you can check in and talk through the camera from anywhere. It works smoothly with Google Home, and the set up was very easy. It's a great choice for keeping an eye on your home.

Great cameras and long lasting
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had to get two of these to replace two other cameras that were 10 years old. They still worked but won't be supported anymore on the app. So, we love these cameras. Obviously they last a long time. Just a little sad the old ones are being phased out. That said, the new cameras have a much better picture quality.

I would recommend this to a friend Nest Google Cameras
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Cameras are good. The problem I have with the new Nest cameras is you can't open them in the Nest App. The NestApp was so simple, one step, open the app and all the cameras are visible. Now you have to opengoogle home, then select cameras, then you can veiw them. That ia not so bad, but the Nest app also includes the Nest thermostat. For me, the old Nest app was more user friendly.

Posted .Hello Chris, we’re thankful for the feedback you shared about the Nest Cam (indoor, wired). We appreciate that you like them, and we hear your concerns about using the Nest app, compared to Google Home app, to view and manage your cameras including your other Nest devices.
We’re aware that longtime Nest users enjoy viewing their Nest camera feeds from the Nest app. However, our priority with this launch was building a complete experience for our new cameras and doorbell in the Google Home app. Our teams are working on enabling the ability to set up and control older Nest cameras in the Home app so users will have one app to control all of their devices, and we’re working on bringing full functionality to the Google Home app as we want to create an integrated experience with other Nest and smart home devices. While the new Nest cameras and doorbells are exclusive to the Google Home app, users with previous versions of Nest cameras can view their camera feeds in the Google Home app alongside the new Nest Doorbell and Nest Cams.
We request for your patience as we’re working on a seamless solution to create a better user experience. Meanwhile, 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. And if you need help with any concerns about the performance and functionality of the camera, contact us anytime here and we’ll gladly help you the best we can: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Much Better than Older Nest Cams
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the new design, picture is much clearer than the older models. I like this one because it is wired. We have Google Mesh, no issues at all with set up or network connections.
I would recommend this to a friend Night Vision does not automatically switch off
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have two Nest Cams for indoor use. For both of them, the Auto setting for night vision is not reliable. I have to continually go to the settings and turn night vision off, then turn Auto on again. Basically, the Auto feature is not Auto at all and I have to do this daily on both cameras (in different structures and on different networks). I have read reviews from others with this same issue where they did a factory reset of the camera and still had the issue, so seems to be a camera and/or software bug. Other than this, I am completely satisfied with everything else.

||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had to get a couple of these to replace my old drop cams because they're no longer supported, wasn't really thrilled with them at first, but between the easy set up, the crystal clear picture quality, and getting used to the app, I highly recommend these

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We wanted a little piece of mind when we left our dog home alone for extended periods of time. This indoor camera is perfect! We love the talk and listen feature. The home and away settings are very easy to set up, and it’s great to have a camera that integrates right into our Google Home.
