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.

Great audio and picture quality. I just think the notifications don't work as well if you don't purchase the google nest aware subscription

Hello there, Thetimefighter. We appreciate that you like the sound and picture quality of the Nest Cam (indoor, wired). It’s unfortunate to hear about your experience with the notifications
Also, there's no fee to stream full resolution live video and receive basic notifications, as long as your doorbell is connected to the internet. However, you’ll need a Nest Aware subscription to record video and receive advanced notifications. Our goal is to give users more options. With event video history, we wanted our products to help our customers understand what’s going on at home easily and highlight the important activity for you. For people who want to see everything that happens at home, we offer 24/7 video history on wired Nest Cams with a Nest Aware Plus subscription. We continue to invest in the use of both technologies
Event detection and notifications depend on the doorbell settings that you select. You can choose which events your doorbell can detect and record (people, motion, package, etc.). From there, you (and each member of your home) can decide which of those events to get notifications for. If an event is turned off, you won’t get notifications for that kind of activity. You can also change the settings like adjusting video quality, wake-up sensitivity, length of video clips, time between recorded events, and using activity zones to monitor specific areas.

Camera is fine for what it is. Just like any camera of this type, a subscription is basically required to use this fully.
IR lights are insanely bright, so bright that you can put tape over them and still retain some functionality. That being said, Ive never heard a louder click come from a camera when switching to IR. Good lord, lol.
The audio is very "meh". Anything making noise near the camera will completely drown out anything else. Not ideal.
The provided cord for power is USB? WHY?! Im not cutting the cable to find out, but I doubt you could extend this wire as easily. Im talking cutting and splicing. Most USB extension cables require...power...soooo....poor planning on their part. Who knows, maybe the only wires being used are power and ground.
Camera feels sturdy. I wouldnt mount this outdoors, though.

Cameras and 2-way intercom work great. A couple steps in the setup procedure are not quite smooth, but can be figured out with a few tries. I purchased a reconditioned model that was missing the QR code. Be sure to use the code in the base instead.A
For additional users to an established location; don't forget to accept the terms and conditions to get automatically connected

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.

Camera is pretty easy to use. Set up was difficult with the spotty wifi we had and made the process much longer than it should have been. We connected our nest device to our google home for easier access for more than one user. Video quality is good. Audio is good, but if you have more than one camera and use the "talk" feature there is an echo. We had to scale back the notifications as it would notify us every time it saw someone. But overall, good system thats easy to use.
