Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've owned more than my fair share of security cameras, always looking for the next best thing that captures good video day and night and activates appropriately with motion, and identifies things correctly. Honestly the Nest Cam with Gemini seemed like the ticket, and maybe it is, but it seems I cannot use the features yet. Packaging: To start, the packaging for Google products is usually bare-bones and easy to deal with, unfortunately with this device that's not the case, it's weirdly overcomplicated to get out and uses far too much excess cardboard for no real good reason. Setup: Once you do manage to get it out of the packaging then setup is reasonably straightforward, scan the QR code, plug it into the wall and let the google home app finish the setup with a few basic questions. Use: I already had one Google Nest camera though it was an older generation, this one makes my second, the video is excellent, the person identification is good, though not always accurate, but the advertised Gemini feature constantly throws an error saying it's not available in my home yet. Unsure what that's about but hopefully it'll work soon. It did immediately identify a person that crossed in front of it, and with it being the primary camera for my driveway the vehicle identification is valuable and accurate. Bear in mind if you want long term recording storage you will need to get a subscription. Overall: It's a decent security camera, but the feature that it is touted to have with Gemini doesn't appear to work for me.

Bought as Christmas gift for husband & he loves. Was easy for him to self install but we had a hiccup because when I ordered, I added installation & on the day of, got a call telling me they do not install it. Otherwise great product. Only reason not 5 stars is that the product doesn’t explain that you have to PAY for app to have storage of camera feed. Only for a temporary time do you get that access.

Great camera, just wish there was a wireless battery powered model. The integration to Gemini and 2k video are phenomenal.

I got a couple of these and love them. They hold up to the weather and are very smart cameras.
