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 already own the nest 3rd gen. thermostat (which i love). So the setup was even simplier that before. It is small and discrete and isnt an eyesore. I used the QR code to set up the camera and it was that simple. I also have DSL for internet so i only use 720 without any issues. if i tried the 1080 i dont think it would work well streaming. Nest does charge a premium but it works great and the customer service is outstanding.

works great under the free subscription. Once the 30 days were over, I keep getting false alarms left and right. All of the features do not work when you do not subscribe. While I knew this when I bought it, I wasnt expecting all the false alarms. Nest says they use a different algorithm when you do not subscribe. That is just BS. If you dont need to know if there has been sound or motion and just use it when you want to monitor a room, then it will be great. If you want notifications when someone or something moves in front of the camera, then you have to subscribe, otherwise expect false alarms.

Great camera ! Very impressed with this product ! Easy to setup and use. Has the look and feel of a quality product. Performs perfectly. I am using it indoors in 4 different locations around my house as an outdoor surveillance camera. Works perfectly for this application ! Reasonably priced for such a great product, and if you purchase the 3 pack, the price is even more favorable ! The Nest online app works perfectly as well. Easy to access on any smartphone , computer or other mobile device. App downloads quickly and efficiently. Gives timely and useful alerts when motion and/or sound is detected so you can immediately view the activity. Very pleased with this purchase ! Great product !

The video quality of this camera is really good. That being said it is unfortunately a lag on your internet as you would expect. So if you dont have a really amazing internet speeds this camera will have a noticeable presence on your bandwidth. Which means you will have to start lowering the video quality to get it to stream. Even then its still pretty good.

This is the first indoor cam we have purchased and upon setup and earliy use seemed like it functioned well. After a few weeks of using though there are two serious issues. The first is the audio output using my Samsung S10. The output through the Nest cam is so faint its almost inaudible. There is no fix. We put the app on my laptop and the audio output works as it should. Do a search for Nest cam Android audio ouput and there are plenty of complaints with Android users for the past 2 years and Google has yet to update the app with a fix. The second major issue is the excessive notifications because of a change in room lighting. We have an open window in the room and any time the room goes lighter or darker it sends a notification, which equals a huge amount of false movement alerts. Using as a baby cam makes this super annoying and like the audio issue there is no fix to this. Im not a software tech by any means but in this day in age I cant imagine these issues arent fixable. I do not write many reviews. But this product needs software updating badly. Cheers

I cannot say enough good things about the Nest Cam. I purchased a 3 pack and a single camera (total 4 cameras) for my mothers apartment. My Mom is 86 years old and is in stage 3 of Alzheimers disease. She forgets everything all of the time. We live 1200 miles apart. The Nest Cam has helped me help her with her daily routines. We do not use the Nest Cam with a video tape. We just use it as a live camera so I can check in with her & help her follow through on her chores. The picture quality is excellent. There is even sound so you can have a full conversation over the Nest Cam. You can talk and be heard and listen to what the person at the other end of the camera is saying. Cameras were very fast and easy to set up and move around. Setting up your on line account was simple. Anyone can do it. You need 0 experience to set up & use. When using the camera this way, there is no monthly charge of any kind. If you want to move the camera around frequently, just purchase an extension cord. I frequently help my mother while she is on the computer. My mother moves the camera directly in front of her computer screen so I can see what she is doing, read her computer screen & assist her with tasks she finds difficult. I can make sure she turns off the oven after she cooks. The customer service at Nest is among the best I have ever come across. They are friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and available 24/7. I called them a few time before purchasing the Nest Cam and 2X afterwards.I was speaking to someone at Nest within 1-2 minutes each time I called which was very impressive. I am used to being put on hold listening to bad music for 10-15 minutes when calling customer service at other companies. Another good feature is that Nest e-mails you every time there is a break in Wi-Fi service. The Nest camera system would be a great security camera system but it is also ideal to help and keep track of elderly parents. I highly recommend the Nest Cam system.

The set-up is very simple and the product works as advertised for the most part. The history feeds are slightly kludgy and do not always load or rotate for me and others I have seen. The content you want is there, but it isnt always easy to get to (if that makes sense). The mobile app looks very nice but the process for navigation is different than the FAQs on the site, and are not always intuitive with lots of dead-ends. An example is the sign-up process for Nest Aware (the history subscription).

Extremely unhappy with this product. Biggest problems are: 1) Camera has disappeared from my apps which necessitates reinstalling the camera from scratch. Unfortunately, when you go through Nests recommended process you are notified that your camera is already associated with an account (most likely from the first time you set it up) and that you must plug it into your computer to attempt a burdensome debug process. A quick google search for Nestcam disappears returns ample links showing that Nest has known about this issue for some time and has done absolutely nothing to resolve it. Ive now been waiting for a Nest customer service representative to pick up the phone for over 20 minutes with no help in sight. 2) Occasional lag in picking up the camera feed initially. Basically, you cannot count on this camera to be available when you need it which somewhat defeats the purpose of having a security camera (or in my case, baby monitor) in the first place. These issues are completely UNACCEPTABLE for a camera at this price point and not what I expect from a Google subsidiary! Anybody looking for camera/security products should seriously consider competitors like Canary, Get Piper, SimpliSafe, Samsung and others. Get your act together Nest, or dissatisfied customers like myself are going to inflict some serious brand damage on social media and applicable review sites.

Nest has gone so far downhill since being acquired by Google. My company has over 1,000 Nest cams under management, the older cams made by Nest are still rock solid.m but major issues with the cameras made recently. The biggest issue is very weak Wi-Fi radios. Unless your camera is extremely close to an access point, you can forget about the camera being useful. Constant disconnecting and reconnecting and weak signals. There are much cheaper, better cameras on out there. For example, we have a $18 smart plug that a Nest Indoor cam is plugged into. The smart plug has a 98% Wi-Fi signal strength with the same access point that the Nest Indoor cam is on, and the Nest has a 74% signal strength.
