Google Nest Cam Indoor - 1st Generation - Wired Indoor Camera - Control with Your Phone and Get Mobile Alerts - Surveillance Camera with 24/7 Live Video and Night Vision

Best camera ever! I don’t know what other reviews are talking about with the constant banner. I received a notification that my free trial was ending and that was it. I use this for my children’s monitors so I don’t need a playback option. The picture quality is superior to all my friends video monitors, the sound is clear with little to no delay and the app allows me to see both monitors simultaneously AND shows when there was movement in their rooms. You can chose to let the system know when you are away so it won’t send you notifications as well. All around very please with this camera and app. It has only rarely not loaded and I’m pretty sure that was bc of my WiFi and not the camera. Great product from a brand you know and love!

Finally a product for which a person can open a package and be amazed. seems to have quality build. App has work 99% flawlessly. It took 30 seconds to link can to app. Another 2min to mount to wall. Cam comes with peg out the bottom which is screwed into a flat circular base stand. There is a circular wall mount which attaches with three provided screws. Secure said mount to wall and simply place flat base stand on/against wall mount and it will hold there because they are magnetic. Super easy and mobile. Just remember that you need a power outlet(110) within about 25ft unless you run an extension cord, to power the cam. Clear image,easy to run app,night vision could see a little more reach but overall not bad. These cams seem to have been very well thought out and developed. Would definitely recommend buy them, plus once you scan the QR code on the back of the cam to link it to your app and your wireless internet you get a free trial month of nest aware. I have no negatives at this point other than reach of night vision and thats not really bad. Will update.

I was away for two months and these cameras worked very well. They do get hot but they keep going. The image is very clear, also at night. The only issue we had was when there was a storm and power went off, so there was no internet. The camera couldnt connect without rebooting the internet. I had someone come to my house to reboot the router and after that the camera worked smoothly again. This is the only drawback because once there is no internet, the camera wont work at all.

Great camera! Really clear picture even at 720p. I wasnt sure about needing the subscription service because we only need 1 day of video history, but it seems ok without it. I will definitely be getting this camera again for household security if needed! As a side note we also bought the clock that this sits in so it could be hidden in my grandmas rehab facility and it works really well. It has two knobs that looks pretty fake, but no one has noticed it yet.

I hate that I can only give Nest 3 stars. I was one of the first people to start with nest years ago. I had 2 cams at the time. One started showing in monochrome colors and though it was out of warrantee they sent me a refurbished replacement. That one suddenly stopped working within the year or less. The other I had in issue with because IT GOT HACKED!!!! Yes, admittedly by Nest because there was no way around what happen. The camera should have been off while I was home and as I walked by one day I realized the light was blue. I was shocked because I KNEW i had it turned off. I approached the camera and as I got closer and i was looking into it and it turned off. The person was looking into my loft as I was approaching. That freaked me out. Soon after that one suddenly stopped working as well. So, recently I had an issue with crazy excessive noise from the upstairs neighbors and torturous retaliation they took because of my complaining to management, Its almost impossible to get someone evicted in the state of California so I needed proof of all the things they were doing to us so I bought 3 NestCams. Unfortunately NestCams COULD NOT not pick up the terribly loud banging that iPhone picked up clearly. I dont understand why, so disappointing because thats what I bought them for. You could hear someone whisper on these cams but NO major sounds, it was BEYOND disappointing. I could only use them to visually capture us being startled awake at 5am each morning - luckily it was obvious by watching but it did not have the most important component I needed. Also, the output mic sucks. My dog is skittish to say the least and she cannot hear when I speak into the mic...i dont understand why the audio/sound is SO BAD on these. I ended up keeping them but I must say I still fear for my privacy and feel like I have to babysit them and flipping them downward when home or turning them off/unplugged. Oh, that reminds me...the home/away option doesnt work, I have all the settings correctly programmed. They never turn off when we are home, ever, so you keep getting notifications every moment wheel they are on and the censors go off. The ones I had a few years ago didnt have the home/away working either. I thought by now that would have been fixed but no. I hope these get better soon, they arent cheap.

Very easy set up. Sturdy product. I highly recommend for all people. Our house was broken into a few months back, and despite the enormous financial loss to us, my wife and I were dumbfounded that in this day in age, why the heck didnt we have cameras?!?! Especially since we are somewhat tech-savvy. Decided to purchase this 3-pack and for 3 months now were very pleased. In the beginning we had minor difficulties changing the different notifications because our iPhones and emails would constantly get alerts. But after fiddling around with the settings, we got things under control. You may experience at times WiFi issues (loss of signal) depending on the distance between your router and camera. On days when AT&T has weak home internet service due to weather or other circumstances, you may get bombarded with email notifications because each time the camera loses signal, you get an alert the camera is off. Its not a big deal, and Id rather get the alerts than none at all. Because I travel a lot, I like the fact I can use their simple App on iPhone or iPad and randomly check the inside my house to ensure the family is safe. $10 per month for 10-days of cloud recording storage, and $5 for each additional camera. So youre basically looking at a combined $20 fee for all 3 cams. A discount of roughly 2 months is offered if you pay 12 months in advance (meaning I paid $100 for the first camera for 10-days recording for the year and $50 per year for each additional camera -- for a total of $200 for all 3 cams for the year).

This is a great little camera. Great sound and you can even check from your cell and speak to whomever is in house. Worth the money. Package did arrive late but overall was in great shape.

Its great...until your Nest Aware trial expires. Nest Aware is a buy up service that Nest offers that gives you better alerts on your phone of activity, plays back video clips, and stores it in their cloud services for 30 days. Without it, the camera just snags 1 still image, which usually doesnt show whats going on in the frame hardly at all. For example, it took a picture of someone running away from my front door (turns out it was a delivery guy trying to stay out of the rain). If it was suspicious activity however, it wouldnt have given me a view of the persons face. So not helpful. I also have no idea if Id be able to download that image to provide it to the police (assuming there was a crime involved) For this price, to have to pay an additional $10/month for this thing to actually be useful is a crime. The minimum Nest should be offering here without Nest Aware is playing back clips/images, with high resolution downloads, and storage for 1-3 days. Your money can be better spent elsewhere

it arrived the next day after I ordered it. I set it up immediately. It does not connect to Alexa, I found out that its only the nest thermostat that connects. You have to download the nest app and it tracks the location of your phone and alerts you of any movement when youre not home. You can turn it off and on as you wish. You can add family/ friends they get an email invite and accept it and can receive notifications too. It has night vision with great clarity. Im pleased with the product.

The camera is a good quality and super easy to set up and use. Out of the box, mounted, and used inside 10 minutes. Done. The app is comprehensive if you have any tech experience. Seems to be secure as long as you protect you network. Buy this and enjoy the features. I do wish the nest aware was free for a daily use, but the cost is negligible compared to the comfort I have now.... AND the money I didnt spend on a big security company that would have access to everything including my cameras. Privacy is important. Talking through the camera is pretty cool too! I havent figured out the time lapse feature but cant wait to use it too. My Nest family is always watching my home.
