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

Ended up returning this item after a few weeks of use. Key points that led to my return: 1) Watermark logo on images blocked robbers face. My car was burgled; caught it on camera, robber walk right at the camera... into the watermark. Whoops. 2) Not that easy to set up. No where near the one minute setup they claim. 3) All traffic goes through their Amazon EC2 instances. EC2 went down one morning, taking the camera down with it. I couldnt access video on a camera 25 feet away from me... 4) On the day that EC2 went down, Nest sent me an email saying that I would lose my video history unless I paid for a $10/month subscription. Bad timing... whoops. Sorry Nest, $500+ for this camera over a 3 year period is really not worth it. 5) Camera overheated and stopped working in direct sunlight. 6) No local storage. Things I liked about this camera: 1) Fantastic streaming quality (1080). The quality of the recorded history seemed to not be as good. Great night vision. 2) Nice mobile app. Better than almost all the other ones Ive seen, not perfect, but still very good. 3) Nice footprint. If they had dropped the subscription price to $5/month, I would have considered keeping it. However, the real downside of this camera seems to be bad product decisions. The hardware is fantastic, the software is good, its the overall product that isnt good. Case in point - the watermark on the image screams product manager ego, at the expense of usability.

I work all day this gave me peace of mind to watch over my mom.

First of all, I have a Nest thermostat already so setup was super easy. All I had to do was scan the barcode in the app and it was good to go. The picture quality is pretty good and the night vision works really well. I havent had any problems other than it recognizing my dog as a person. I set up activity zones on the door and window and the problem was solved. The only downside of this camera is that you have to pay $10 a month for a Nest Aware subscription of you want to do anything other than look at a live feed. I still think its worth it though because its a lot cheaper than a traditional security system.

This is a great camera and very easy to use. The picture quality is great and the iPhone app is very easy to use. The only reason why it lost a star is the high price and the extra price for cloud recording. A more inexpensive option would be the YI Home Camera.

I bought the camera even with all the negative reviews. I am completely satisfied with this purchase. One thing I notices that the 2 way audio wasnt loud enough on my phone or pc. I looked into it further and discovered the mic sensitivity needed to be increased. Now I can communicate and hear. The setup was easy. Took more than a minute as I have a really long passcode for my wifi with upper case and lowercase mixed in. The subscription service is not a big deal to me as a security company charges more than that for their video service. With Nest aware its great because you can create zones that will trigger an alert. I didnt want all movement in my family room to trigger it so I created zones at the windows and doors. Im buying another. Wish they made an outdoor version that had one way audio. Dont really need the 2 way for outdoor.

Bought to monitor our baby while he is at home with the nanny. absolutely loved it. its quite expensive but completely worth every cent. the ease of installation is one of our key favorite features. works very well with the app. we can see and even hear our little one from our offices. we bought a set of three cameras but once we installed we realised that the scope covered by the camera is so wide that we could have just bought one for the entire living/dining room area.

I use this to spy on our foster kittens! Seriously! With this camera, I can make sure that theyre eating and drinking well and track down who may not be quite at the litter box stage, without spending hours upon hours sitting in their room observing them. I can remotely go back on the video and catch moments needed. Super easy setup - literally plug it in - and its working! This has given me peace of mind and has been a helpful training tool! Update May 2018. Ive been using this camera indoors-only for 2 months, and now suddenly it has no power going to it. So next up is calling Nest customer support to see what they can do.

I like the concept of having a home camera. The camera quality is just average. Can be a little grainy. Perhaps it’s my Internet but I would give it a C+. It was easy to install.

The initial setup with a password protected Wi-Fi was easier than expected. The quality of the images was pretty good on 720P but not a LOT better on the 1080 setting. Only downside was the frequent eMail warnings that someone was in the field of the motion sensors. For most environments, this would be terrific but when covering part of a public area - this got annoying. Still would get and use again.

So I got this when I moved into my first house and the paranoia of break ins set in. At first it was super awesome with the 2 way microphones and being able to see my cat whenever. But after like a month it got old. The app kept sending me 100+ notifications a day because it saw literally any type of motion, But it wouldn’t notify me when an actual delivery person was here. The app was also spotty and slow to see live videos other than when I was home. But when the app works the cameras have awesome picture quality and night vision. The 2 way audio is great like 80% of the time. And it was super interesting to my cats.
