The camera is easy to set up and works fantastically to catch and record moments of interest. The Google Home app AI does well to recognize faces and animals. The field of view is surprisingly wide. The audio is crystal clear. You get more than what you pay for.

The hardware itself is high-quality and durable, but the software (via google home) can sometimes be lacking. Good option if you are looking for a quick/easy to set up camera with pretty high quality video feed.

Real easy to set up and if you have the google home app on your phone than this is so well integrated. I like this wired one better than the battery ones from indoor/outdoor. Very worth buying and made well.

I had been using the 1st generation nest indoor camera in my home for a few years, and decided it was time to upgrade to the newer generation to see if it was worth it. As others have stated, this does not work with the Nest app, it is setup and accessed through the google home app. Not a huge deal, just takes some time to adjust, but the integration is easy as I still have a nest doorbell and thermostat. The video quality is a night and day difference. It’s not 4K, but at the price point, it’s a good purchase. I like that there’s different color options as well to blend with your decor. Overall, happy with the upgrade.

Great little camera. Good clarity and great night vision. Wish it had a SD card to avoid the dreaded cloud.

Works great, wide angle is nice. The price is even better. Google Home app is so much nicer than the Nest app, I’m glad they’re migrating over. People complaining that it didn’t work in the Nest app aren’t paying much attention to what they’re purchasing. They’re bringing all their products under one app, not sure how that’s a bad thing.

I purchased this camera for indoor security, mounted high on a beige-colored wall looking down into a 2 story foyer. The detail and zoom are excellent, and controlling the camera through Google Home works quite well. I’d highly recommend!

I recently had the opportunity to experience the Google Nest Cam (Wired) in Snow, and it certainly stands out as a dependable home surveillance solution with some impressive smart functionalities. Here's a breakdown of my thoughts: Pros: Reliability: The Nest Cam's reliability is its strong suit. It delivers consistent, high-quality video, providing a clear view of the surroundings. The 1080p HD resolution captures details effectively, making it easy to discern faces and other critical features within the frame. Smart Features: The integration of smart features is impressive. The ability to set activity zones and receive specific alerts based on these zones is incredibly useful. Additionally, the two-way audio feature works well for communication and surveillance purposes. Ease of Use: Setting up the Nest Cam was straightforward. The user interface is intuitive, and the app is user-friendly, allowing for easy navigation and control. Monitoring and adjusting settings can be done from anywhere, offering peace of mind even when away from home. Compatibility: It seamlessly integrates with other Google Nest products and smart home devices. The wider Nest ecosystem allows for a more connected and streamlined home surveillance experience. Cons: Subscription for Full Features: While the basic functionalities are quite impressive, to unlock the full potential of the Nest Cam, a subscription for the Nest Aware service is required. This might be an additional cost that some users may not initially anticipate. In summary, the Google Nest Cam (Wired) in Snow offers excellent reliability, smart features, and ease of use, making it a strong contender in the home surveillance market. It provides peace of mind for homeowners looking to keep an eye on their property. However, the necessity of a subscription for advanced features could be a drawback for some potential users. Overall, I rate it 4 out of 5 stars for its consistent performance and smart capabilities, though the subscription requirement is a point to consider.

It works great, but not compatible with Nest. I tried to add to my thermostat and had to get a whole new google app. They want you to merge, but I am not interested in changing over, so now I have two apps.

I bought a used Google Nest Cam Indoor (Wired, Snow), and the experience was great from start to finish. The camera looked almost brand new, worked perfectly right out of the box, and synced with my Google Home setup without any issues. The team at the store was knowledgeable and honest about the product’s condition, which I really appreciated. For a used item, the value and quality were outstanding. If you’re shopping for reliable smart home devices—new or used—this Best Buy location is definitely worth a visit.

Camera has a wide view and has decent quality video. Night vision works ok. Talking through the camera works very well conpared to other cameras I have tried. Only two things stop this from being a five star product. 1. It has a facial recognition which is cool but when activated it constantly notifies your phone of someones presence even if you set it to recognize you. I figured the point was to alert you of strangers in your house but I guess not. 2. When zooming in, especially while night vision is activated, the video quality drops the more zoomed in you are.

Hi Nicholas, thanks for sharing your insights. We´re sorry to hear that you are experiencing too many notifications for Nest Cam (Indoor, Wired), and that the quality drops when zooming with the night vision feature.
We recommend combining the faces that were identified as different people. Here's how:
- Open the Google Home app.
- Tap Settings > And then Nest Aware And then Familiar face detection.
- Start edit mode (two different ways):
a. At the top right corner of the screen, tap Edit. Then, select the faces you want to merge.
b. To select the first face in edit mode, touch and hold a face on the screen. Then, tap the other face you want to merge. Both faces are selected when you do this.
- At the top right corner of the screen, tap Merge.
Night vision range depends on how much light there is, and which camera or doorbell you have. Test your camera’s recorded or live video when it’s dark out and adjust its position, or add lighting if needed.

I got this to cover my covered in patio, good choice so far, wanted something cheaper than the outside camera as was not really needed. Moved home with a covered patio, we will see how it fares outside. Does what I want to monitor my patio door and see when the dog eants to come back inside. Good animal detction would work well in side also but dont need that.

so i got two of these new nest cam wired versions, i'm gonna be clear and say that for the price its OK, i do miss the older models that had a better megapixel then these and the images looked better on those when you zoomed in for a close up of a person, but these are not that bad for indoor use but inside of my basement where i have 16 very bright led

This is second Google nest cam purchased but for some reason this one was more difficult to connect. Connected to Google Home after several tries, but am still unable to connect to my Nest app for some reason. Have not been able to get any assistance on how to connect other than telling me I have to delete all current settings in my nest app and then recreate the app by adding each product. That seems to be a very clumsy and inefficient process. Only reason lower rating is provided is because the quality of the product itself and the functionality with the current Google app is very good. Main issue is with synching and adding to Nest application.

Hi lr51, thanks for posting your review. We apologize that you’re unable to use your 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.
Your feedback is important to us, as we are always working to improve our products and services. For further assistance, our support team is always here to help. Feel free to contact us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

Works great. Does require you to use to Google home app instead of the nest app anymore so some features are lost
