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

First off, this is a solid camera. The material seems durable, does not feel cheaply made. The Picture quality is very good, even has night vision with a clear picture. The sound quality I have not really tried using the two way talk, I have tried using with me in the room with the cam and the quality does not sound clear. The app is easy to use, you can also see a live feed from a desktop/laptop by going to Nest, the camera was easy to setup. As far as the functionality of the camera, I will echo what everyone else is saying in that you will need to purchase a subscription to use to its full potential. Once the 30 day trial ends, you only get still pictures when the camera detects motion, sometimes not even that. The camera motion could go off for any little thing, wind gust, an insect flying in front of the camera, etc.. Due to needing to purchase a subscription to keep a log of the videos I am giving it 3 stars. I did notice that Nest has come up with a new lower priced subscription plan but I will probably just use the live video feed feature for now.

This camera is even better than I thought it would be. I did a LOT of online research and considered this and a Foscam. The security breaches from the other, and the fact that this is Google-related, helped me decide. We put it in our nursery for our toddler. The room is a FROG, just as big as a 2-car garage, and the camera captures everything in incoming audio/video, night vision, outbound audio, etc etc etc. Its awesome! The night vision works really well, too. Incredibly easy to install and setup. I can monitor it from anywhere, in and out of the home. It was pricey, but definitely worth the peace of mind. We just transitioned to a toddler bed so LO has more free reign of the room, and we wanted to make sure that shes safe and comfortable when shes in there alone.

My husband and I bought this for our new babys nursery. It is so much better than monitors marketed for nurseries.The installation was easy, and we can watch our baby from any smartphone device or computer. I love the convenience of this while I work, and when my husband travels, he can peek in on baby girl while she is sleeping. We have used it for him to tell her goodnight while he is on the road. It has been wonderful!

Labor day weekend, just got my Nest cam, went to connect, NEST server is down. Verified this via [...] called NEST support,after 1/2 hour wait, phone support verified server was down, with no estimated time for when it would be back up. Camera will not work without access to NEST servers. If they cant keep thir servers running on a holiday weekend ( which is when Im most likely to be gone and when I would most likely want to use the camera) then whats the use ? I know there are many frustrated users ! .... Kody Belt · 6 mins ago · · Chrome 44.0 on Windows have had 2 dropcams for a year and little to no issue, these are used as a baby monitor so very important they work.

This camera was very easy to set up, very easy to navigate the settings and presents a fabulous live picture. I was so pleased with the overall performance that I bought two more. I have had them in operation for 2 months. It is hard to justify the $10/month alert history, unless you have a concern for crime, then it is cheap security.

Well worth the price. I now wish that I had bought the 3 pack. The set up was very quick and easy. The wide angle is in fact very wide and the clarity of the video is amazing, even when it is dark inside the house! I was at work 20 miles from home when I tested the 2 way audio. I spoke just above a whisper and my dog heard me immediately and jumped off the couch. Very impressed with the audio.

We have invested heavily in Nest equipment due to reviews. The thermostats are quirky and undependable. The camera has now started to not recognize when I am at home with my cell, thereby sending endless reports of activity whenever we walk by. I finally had to turn the camera off. I have had to re-do settings on my outdoor camera over and over. Also, when i click on the alert to see the activity, it just spins and spins. I have to save it as a clip and then view it. Pathetic. The camera clarity is fine, but the technology behind it is flawed and undependable. This is a serious flaw when you purchase these in most cases for viewing when you are away. If you cant depend on them . . . Update: alerts are a little better; apparently it is learning. However, it just is not dependable. Sometimes it turns off when Im in the house with the cell phone which is designated to trigger turning the camera off, sometimes it doesnt. The software is just not dependable yet, on either the cameras or the thermostats. We have two houses and it is very irritating when I have to keep resetting, re-entering info, manually turning cameras off, etc.

WHY would one give this product anything BUT a ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ review! The Nest Cam Indoor Security camera is easily the best product that I have ever purchased on Amazon. Paired with my ADT system it completes surveillance playback and live, color, wide angle viewing 24/7. Easy installation, simple syncing, quick registration to your iPhone, and quick access from your computer. I had heard a lot from my neighborhood Block Watch members that Nest was the system to buy -- it is!! Endorsement!!

I have a total of five Nest Cams and Outdoor Nest Cams at two different homes. The video quality is the best Ive seen. The microphone is very sensitive, and its surprising how often it helps being able to hear whats going on. I primarily use my iPhone X and my iPad to receive security alerts from my Nest Cams. Im really impressed at how well the app handles multiple cameras at two different homes. Its very helpful to be able to see the video from multiple cameras at the same time.

I live alone and was looking for a good camera to give me a little peace of mind. After comparing several different cameras, I settled on the Nest Cam and I couldnt be more pleased. It is extremely easy to install and very unobtrusive. I set mine up so that I could view activity at both the front and back door - it works like a charm! I can also keep an eye on my pets throughout the day. The app and website are very user-friendly. The only thing I would change would be the frequency of notifications - while it does keep track of every instance of motion, it only alerts you every 30 minutes. It would be nice to be able to set my own notification frequency.
