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

Very happy with this security system.. Got 2 of them and for $15/month, I can see live action or go back 10 days to see what was going on in my house. Wide viewing range, and very easy to mount. My IPAD does not seem to allow me to play back past video, but a Windows PC or Iphone (I have an Iphone 5) seem to work fine to review past activity. It look a while to figure out the proper activity zones so my cats would not set the sensor off.. My only complaint is the cameras think there is movement when the sun comes out or the lighting in the house changes. Doesnt seem to be much that can be done, so again, configuring the activity zones becomes important. Can also have it send you messages when it detects movement when you are not home,. but setting your phone so Nest knows you are away is also tricky, several settings need to be in place or you get endless false messages when you are home.

Super-easy install. Decent quality image. Glad that the same app works for both the cameras and our thermostat. Love it. Only complaints are with the on/off scheduling (could be simplified, takes far too long) and the Home/Away Assist not working with two separate devices. I’d like it to know whether me or my wife are home, not just one of us at a time.

LOVE this cam! It is very addictive & provides free security to your home as you receive a notifications to your phone whenever there is an activity in your house. I mainly purchased the cam to watch my doggies when at work, and I like that I can talk to them via a microphone & see what they are up to all day long. This was a second cam I got as the first one broke (I couldnt get it to come on and if it did it went offline right away) after almost two years of use, but the manufacturer sent me a replacement right away free of charge, so I am very happy with the CS as well. You will not want to go back to pre-cam life :)

The delivery of the product was horrible, but thats all on Amazon. Attempted to leave a review stating that the driver threw it on my porch even though the stairs to my door were about 8 feet away, but I couldnt. Product itself is amazing. I used it to replace a HORRIBLE Owlette camera I had purchased previously, and I wish I wouldve gone with my gut and picked this one up first. 5Ghz support means much higher quality, and the audio is really good for a 130 dollar camera. I understand people have issue with the subscription when using it as a security camera, but as just a live feed camera, its probably the best out there. Only downside is the push notifications I have yet to find a disable button for. I use a hardcoded relay to turn it off and on when I leave, and the constant push notification that it turned off is a bit bothersome, but thats a very niche problem.

It is easy to install and it works very nice. No issues so far.

Finally I decided to spend the money on the Nest cam after trying another one that didnt want to connect to my Wi-Fi; This set up seamlessly with my Nest app after just scanning the back of the unit - it was good to go. It alerts as expected, the picture is very clear, and I am very happy. Will now probably buy the outside version.

Easy to assemble and easy to link to internet. Excellent choice

Using it for few days as a baby monitor and really impressed. Setup was really a piece of cake, couple of minutes on Windows then apps were installed on Android and IOs .No issues with association with another account. Everything went really smooth. I am able to watch my baby on all the gadgets we have with no issues. Good picture and voice, good night view, reliable. Mainly we are watching our baby on a dedicated Windows Laptop and it serves our needs. 1080P didn’t really impress me and I didn’t really notice the difference between 720p but I am fine with 720p. Scheduler is working just fine, no issues so far, switches on and off every time as expected. I am able to turn the cam on/off whenever I want from wherever I want. Not really going to use cloud recording so cannot tell anything about this one. This is my 3rd experience with IP cams which I use to watch my baby. I have the cheapest MyDLINK cam and wouldn’t think to switch to more expensive one until they started having problems with java plugins that running out of support on windows browsers. We are using it now as backup camera. The second one was Simplicam from ArcSoft and I really wanted it to work, but after a week of trying I am returning it coz the software is not reliable and can crash in the middle of the night which is unacceptable when you use it to watch your baby from another room and it costs $150. So my conclusion is that Nest Cam is a good cam to use as a baby monitor, although, it could be cheaper.

I did much research before selecting a security camera. Nest had the best reviews and features. It was very easy to install, worked right out of the box, the supporting apps (PC and iPhone) work great and are easy to use. The day and night quality is excellent and the form factor is easy to install. I would certainly recommend it to friends. I dislike that the price is fixed, with no competition for sales. I call it price fixing. Though, in my experience, many products have fixed prices.

My review is based on using this camera as a baby monitor, which it does not work well as for a few reasons. First is that the audio wont run in the background. So if you switch apps to check email, facebook, etc., you will no longer hear whats going on in the room. Doing some research on this, it seems this has been a problem for many years before Nest (Google) bought Dropcam. Second is that it really drains your battery to have the video streaming. This is different than another wifi video monitor we had for our other kid that would allow background audio and battery would last at least 2 hours on your iphone. Lastly, you cannot view more than one camera stream at a time. So if you have multiple kids, you cant watch them all at the same time. I was told that this is only on the iphone, but on an iPad, you can view multiple streams. Its a shame because set up was easy and the viewing angle is great. Baby monitor is not a good use case for this product, but it probably works well if you are only going to check in from time to time on the video. Note that I didnt have any setup issues, it took me less than 5 minutes to have it up and running.
