Google Cam

I would recommend this to a friend Perfect camera
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect camera for my needs. Set up was simple and I needed the plug in version since we are away for an extended period of time. Very reliable.
I would recommend this to a friendEasy to set up
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cam is easy to set up and I've had no errors with it at all. The cam has an extra long wire if you need to attach it anywhere high to get a better view of the room you put it in. The only time it's ever turned off is during a power outage.
I would recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Overall performance
Peace of mind
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is additional to 2 existing Nest Cams to my parents home. All are working well with Google Home app and setup was straight forward. I feel more secure for them with live feed and do quality video call sometimes with them.

Good Camera, Very Limited on AI Saved Footage
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a nice little camera. Good picture quality in light or dark conditions. Easy to set up. Unobtrusive. My only complaint is with the software. You aren't able to just review a few days worth of footage from start to finish. The only footage that saves are clips the camera deems worthy of note. So I'll get a save clip of something, but I'm not able to back up to a minute before the camera decided something interesting was going on, nor am I able to continue with the footage past when the camera decides nothing else interesting happened. Considering you have to pay for the service to save footage at all, they need to make it more flexible and not expect you to just be satisfied with whatever the AI decides is worth watching.

Posted .Hi Drewid83, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear your disappointment about Nest Cam (indoor, wired).
The Nest Cam (indoor, wired) has a basic sound and motion feature that is designed to analyze its video data for people, animals, and moving vehicles, and can recognize when the same people reappear. To detect anything besides a person, animal, or moving vehicle, the camera checks for general motion in the scene. It learns what’s normally in its background view and looks for movement and changes. As a result, it can sometimes trigger not just for important things, but also for minor things like tree branches that sway in the wind. If you only need your camera to detect people, animals, or moving vehicles, it's recommended that you do not turn on this feature.
To change detection settings:
- Open the Google Home app .
- Tap your camera or doorbell.
- Tap Settings > Event.

view without presense
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife, who is a caregiver needed to see her invalid mother when she would not be in the room. The camera allows my wife to see her mother anywhere by looking on her cell phone. The camera greatly serves our need.
I would recommend this to a friend So far so good
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good, it does the job, I had the old nest cameras which still work and we needed more. The only thing I don’t like is it’s two different apps now. Even though the old cameras show on the google home app

Great camera, need more of them!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I originally got this for my garage, the install was a breeze, and streaming it to my Nest Hub worked perfectly. Then I moved it to watch my smoker while at my desk to make sure everything was in order. Now it's floating around the house for misc purposes. It seems that I may need another one for the garage now.

Posted .Hey there, TC01! Thanks for posting a review! We appreciate you highlighting the camera's strengths in daylight.
There are different factors that can affect the Night Vision. Try to angle your camera away from bright lights, or to install it in a shady spot. You should also make sure that any nearby surfaces or objects (like a wall) are out of view, since the camera’s infrared light can reflect off a surface. You can also try the simple steps outlined at the following link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9259738
