    Great cameras, simply setup. Now that they've moved to one price for the entire house, no matter how many NEST cameras you have, it's pretty good value. What makes NEST a lot better than the other brands is the 24/7 recording. RING cameras only record 30s which isn't enough time.

    I Wouldn't Bother With Anything Else

    If you're already part of the Google/Nest Home ecosystem, then this is definitely the camera for you. I have two properties that I monitor, 500 miles apart. I previously used Arlo battery-powered cameras connected to solar panels. Both cameras suffered the same hardware failure after less than two years of service and I replaced them with these. What a difference. I changed the monitoring location to a more sheltered area where these camera could be plugged into AC mains all the time (as they must be). That solved all the environmental problems I used to have with the Arlos' batteries being either too hot or too cold to charge properly. That also solved the problem of having to do hard resets with battery pulls. I also experienced a 7-second-plus lag when monitoring the Arlo cameras, both locally and at the remote location. With these Nest cameras, it's less than a second, effectively negligible. The video quality is superb. The data throughput is peerless. And finally, the facial, object and motion recognition is both more accurate and less prone to false notifications. You can designate familiar faces, so that you don't have to check the video feed every time you get an alert. You simply get an alert that says "Your annoying neighbor Cletus detected on Front Door camera." (Don't have to check the feed.) Or, "unfamiliar face detected." (DO have to check the feed.) In short, a tremendously reliable, fast, useful camera. Highly recommended.

    Much improved over the last gen Nest camera

    The video and audio quality for this camera is much better than the 1st Gen camera that I just replaced it with. It has a heavier base that makes it much more sturdy as well. The only downside is that I can't use my 30' USB cable that I purchased for my 1st Gen cam since the new camera has the cable built in. I'm sure I can get something else to extend it if needed but the built-in cable seems to be long enough for now. Other than that it's great and worth the update from the previous gen camera.

    Far better than Ring, but horrible setup process

    Years ago, I started off with Ring cameras, but after upgrading one camera to Google Nest, I had to upgrade them all. The quality of the motion detection is far superior, but the setup process is horrible. The nest devices do not support 5GHz Wi-Fi and to get them to connect, after wasting a couple frustrating hours and starting over and over, I found that temporarily disabling 5GHz during setup resolved this. The worst part is that google support only provides useless fake/canned responses. They are so obviously canned auto-responses as they repeat your question in their useless response and do not answer the question and mark the topic as closed so that you cannot even follow up. Also, they still rely on BOTH the nest app and the home app to get multiple devices to work together, and you cannot find this anywhere in their documentation. They are far better than Ring, but they have a long way to go a leave a lot to be desired.

    Just what we were needing. Very easy setup (I already had the Google Home app) and it looks classy on my bookshelf. Quality of the camera is much better than my former camera. I highly recommend.

    Great product! We needed a wired indoor solution. Affordable, sharp, great functionality! Nest has always been easy to install with great setup guides and intuitive interfaces. If you're reading this review, you already know you should buy!

    Great Little Camera

    Purchased this camera to keep an eye on my home while I’m away, and it does a great job in serving this purpose. Set up was quick and simple with the Google Home App which also allows you to configure this product and its notifications to your liking. While its not the camera with the highest quality, in my opinion, the video quality is great. My only complaint is that the video stream can only be rotated 180 degrees, so this limits mounting options.

    These Google Nest Cams are great. We use them to keep an eye on our pets while we are working, either from home or the office. The wide angles and clear picture at night and day are great. A little pricey compared to other cameras, but can be worth it since everything integrates well into the Google Home app.
