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

I bought this Nest Cam when I knew I was going to be out of my house for an extended period of time. Generally the Nest Cam works well. The images it captures are decent, although Im not sure if they are crisp enough for identifying someone if I have a break-in. I have set the camera up so that it only records when I am away, using my cell phone to trigger the away event. That has worked well. I also have it send me alerts when the camera detects movements while Im away: I get a few false positives from the camera when evening lights (on a timer) come on, or light in the house changes as the day goes by. Still, I appreciate the vigilance, and it doesnt happen often. After the initial 30-day trial of Nest Aware (their cloud based video storage) I did opt to pay the $100/yr fee for storage of a 10-day history. I dont like paying an extra fee, but it is quite convenient and I fell necessary in case there is a security incident that needs capturing. As for the mobile app and web site, they work quite well and its easy to monitor the house while Im away. I would recommend this camera.

I ordered this camera so I could keep an eye on my dog when Im at work all day and its a good quality product. Picture quality is great, and I can talk to my dog through the camera when I want. The motion detection is very accurate also.

Love my cameras. Extra measure of protection is exactly what I needed. When leaving my apartment. I can communicate with my kids when I leave them home alone and keep an eye on things when my apartment is empty. I get notifications when it picks up a sound or movement and I absolutely love it. You can play back movements there really nothing wrong that I can think of. The unit does get hot so I have it set to turn off when I am home. I used to have them on 24/7.

Really love the Nest Cam. Video clarity is very good, software interface is also excellent. Only area for improvement I see is when going through the history to find recorded clips the interface can be quite sluggish and the actual video segments take a long time to appear. This is over WiFi as well so not due to my LTE connectivity. But that said, the Nest Cam is pretty awesome.

Love my nest camera it not only records clear day and night time video but it also records sound. Instead of wasting thousands of dollars on a home security system I choose to get this and am extremely happy with it. The night vision is awesome. Its so easy to move and relocate the camera. I use it for home security and also when I leave my son who is 2 with a baby sitter I can login at any time and see how everything is going. I get alerts right across my cell phone when there is movement in certain zones that I have set. It could be a little less sensitive however I absolutely love this camera!

We installed it about two weeks ago. The installation was super easy. Having the bar code reader to set up made everything extremely easy. Picture quality is great and having the ability to set up zones has been inetrest8ng and fun. It has help us prioritize the alerts we receive. Today we had three packages delivered by UPS which were stolen. The thief backed up his white extra cab GMC Sierra truck onto our drive way and his license plate is visible. The police took the report and we have already emailed them the video clip of the perpetrator. We dont know if they will catch the guy but having him on video has made us feel better and we know who to look out for in the neighborhood.

I ordered two different versions of the Nest, and this one was the lower price, the same great quality it just doesnt have face recognition (which in my opinion can be a bit annoying in the notifications after some time). This camera has a great wide angle view and I would order more for other parts of my house when I get the chance.

I bought the nest camera to monitor my dog who was recently diagnosed with epilepsy. I already have a nest thermostat, and adding the camera to the app was super easy. The picture is clear and shows all of the room with its wide angle lens. The design & packaging is great. Now I now feel confident leaving my dog home alone, knowing I can always check on her and even talk to her. Loved the product so much, I bought a 2nd nest camera the very next day.

Let me clarify my 1 star review - when it was a Dropcam product and corresponding App, it was 5 stars and I would have rated it higher! But now that it is owned by Nest, it is just tortuous at best. I would have expected Nest to do things well especially since they have such great products over the years, but they seemed to have put their C-team on this product. The camera is now just plain crap. When it works, its a miracle. Then there is the App - wow did they mess this up. Its probably the worst app for an iPhone - period. No joke. I am thoroughly disappointed and will move on to the new Arlo system in January, plus I wont have to pay for the overpriced subscriptions anymore. Wait for the newest Arlo coming out January 29th, dont buy this POS. update: Nest commented that they are here 24/7 for support. This might be true, but getting anybody that knows what they are doing on the phone as well as actually completing request(s)...is a minor miracle like I said above. I have also had so many problems with a NEST Thermostat and never received any concrete answers, so its sitting in a box in the closet for a long time now. Im really glad that the Dropcam people made some $ from the Nest buyout, but with that Im sorry to say Im done with Nest as a company as soon as it is convenient to move to something else.

I unboxed this item, unfortunately, after the return window closed. It would not power on. I contacted google and was told the serial number was flagged as fraudulent and they couldn’t help me. I contacted Amazon, who allowed a return with “full” refund, but included a restocking fee from the company that sold me a unit that wouldn’t work and SN flagged as fraudulent. So they can restock and sell to another unsuspecting consumer. Don’t buy from this store!!
