    Great product, video and sound quality and facial recognition work excellently, and the Google Home connectivity makes Google wifi controlled devices a breeze to navigate from a centralized app.

    Camera works ok but it’s more expensive than similar items. I’m trying to stay with google products to work with my google hub. I would have chosen the ring option if it was compatible

    I really love this camera. It was incredibly easy to set up, and I've enjoyed being Abel to check on it from anywhere. You don't need a storage plan unless you want to keep the history logged for longer than 3 hours.

    Got this unit because my old was (nest 1st gen) was randomly turning off. This one works as well and has the additional smart features to detect people and animals. So far its been great.

    This is the 11th nest cam I've bought between two homes and they are Elian me and so easy to set up. Scan a QR code and follow the instructions in the google jome app. Takes about 5 mins and a media novice can set them up.

    Disappointing Experience with Google Cameras

    |

    Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I invested in the Google camera system because I liked that it allows you to check back on full video recordings, not just short clips like the Ring camera — but only if you pay for a subscription. The app itself offers some good features, but the overall experience has been frustrating at times. The video quality could definitely be better. Zooming in distorts the picture so much that it becomes almost useless. For a company like Google, I expected much better clarity. The app also needs serious work. There are times when videos simply won’t load for me, and the only fix (according to Google’s own support team) is to uninstall and reinstall the app. I’ve had to do this every few weeks just to get it working again. Another frustrating part is the shortcuts — they won’t let me see all my cameras at once for some reason. I also purchased the Google floodlight cameras for outside, but I’ve learned that cold temperatures really affect their performance. During really cold weather, the cameras sometimes stop recording altogether. The weather resistance, especially in cold temperatures, definitely needs to be improved for outdoor cameras. Overall, while there are some features I do like, I think this system has a lot of room for improvement. For those of us paying for a subscription, it’s frustrating to see the features not work properly. As of now, I would not recommend this product. There are other cameras out there with better video quality, and the recording feature (which is one of the main reasons I chose this system) only matters if the app works consistently — which it doesn’t.

    Great indoor camera, perfect for a puppy cam. The quality and night vision is great, and the added microphone support is wonderful. I am dealing with some issues with advertising it with dog barking alerts as they are currently not working in the app. Working with google on that but otherwise a great cam.

    great use for when i went on my vacation, although my only complaint is connection despite being only 10 feet from my router, although i’ve had issues with my wi-fi lately so i’m not going to totally blame the camera on that.

      Hey there, gamergirllex. We appreciate your feedback, and we’re glad that you like the Nest Cam (indoor, wired). We’re sorry to hear your experience with the connectivity.

      A range issue or wireless interference can affect the performance of your camera. Sometimes it may pass the connection test during setup, but will struggle to stay connected if you're experiencing a spotty connection or weak signal. We recommend checking your Wi-Fi network to see if your bandwidth is congested. This may happen if you have too many devices connected on the same bandwidth or if your network package is not enough to handle the data traffic on the network. These few steps may also help:
      - Turn off other devices connected to your WiFi that may relieve network congestion.
      - You can also try restarting your router to reset your internet connection. You should also restart any Wi-Fi range extenders or repeaters that you have.

      If the issues persist, we’d be happy to provide you with further troubleshooting guidance here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    I paired this with my google/nest hub. Instead of purchasing baby monitors these provide higher quality imaging and noise. It also serves as home security. Again, the camera quality is clear even in the IR (night mode). Installation and integration is an absolute breeze and I highly recommend this product.

    Exactly what I need for monitoring the basement. Easy to setup and great quality image. Appreciate the features to turn on/off through the Google Home app and it's night vision mode is pretty good too. A little more expensive than other competitors out there, but if you're a Google fan, it's the right one for you.
