Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Setting up the Indoor Nest Cam was simple and straightforward. After downloading the Google Home app, you use the setup wizard and scan the QR code on the sticker covering the lens. Immediately upon connection, you can view live video footage. Google allows you to view 3 hours of history and you must sign up for their service for more. Unfortunately, if something happens while you are gone you can only view the last 3 hrs. The 1080p vide...

Great cam
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are great cameras. Very user friendly and extremely easy to navigate the app. The picture quality is actually pretty impressive compared to some of the other cams. The price is so reasonable it makes you worry it will have issues or not be a quality cam but it is. Def recommend getting a couple and trying it out.

Great features
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Clear picture The set up was super simple and it probably took me about 5 minutes from opening the box to fully operational nestcam. This camera is definitely better than one of those cheap, never-heard-of-companys' security cameras. I know because I owned one before.

Cabin eyes
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a perfect camera to set up to gain a second set of eyes on our Tahoe cabin! When we are not there, we like to be able to see what’s going on outside with the surrounding wildlife and now that the winter snow is on its way! I find myself tapping in and imagine being there even when i can’t be!

Great
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this indoor cam especially when used as a baby monitor. Any device that can download the app either nest or Google home can use this really easily. It has great angle view and the night vision works great. Also the microphone is very sensitive so that's also plus if your baby moves around a little bit and having the subscription allows you to get notifications of any movement or sound.Awesome and easy to use would definitely recommend.

works!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed a camera to use to monitor one area in my house and this worked out perfect for the job. It was easy to set up and I did not have any issues in that department. I like that I could link it to my phone and existing google devices. I like that it has a two way speaker and mic.

Better than the competitors
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is super sharp and pairs well with all of my other nest products. I am really appreciating the alerts to help me know the difference between my dog, and my wife (or anybody else). Video encryption is actually a really important thing for my family... the idea of someone being able to see my video freaks me out. But nest makes that near impossible, which is a huge advantage

Excellent product
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was initially concerned about installation but found the process was a simple one. Appreciate having the ability to see what is happening in the home with this device. Working full time, it is definitely a plus.

Best camera out there!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best camera out there! I have had MANY cameras over the years, from expensive to super cheap and based on all the features and quality - the NEST is the best. The picture is always so clear and the features are great. Yes it does require a monthly payment - but so do all the other cameras out there, that are cloud enabled. High recommend.

Great once installed with just a couple hiccups
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With most google products there's a slight annoyance with installing with the Google Home app, like being unable to detect a connection or just slightly not close enough to a router to get it up and running, so if you're prepared for that you should go with this cam. Quality is great and works perfectly with audio input and output, alerts if any person (or animal/pet) happens to walk by when you're not home with historical playback, although th...

Beware - these do not work with Nest App
Would Not RecommendThis camera will not work with the standard Nest app. These new models will only work with the Google Home app. The Google Home app is terrible for monitoring your cameras, making clips, reviewing history, etc. Google is forcing people to switch from Nest, which is a great app. There's no warning about this. Set up is also not as easy as before. It also has far less range of motion and adjustment than the Nest IQ cameras.

What Google doesn't want you to know.
Would Not RecommendWhat Google doesn't want you to know is that this product doesn't work with your Nest account. It requires Google Home, which is the service that works with their smart speaker product line. No thank you. After doing a bit more research, turns out many developers in the construction space have also abandoned Google Nest products for the same reason, as Google Home isn't compatible with many of the other devices that the developers install on behalf of their buyers.

Love the Nest!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although this is wired, it works great. We don’t have a ton of google products but I am happy with this one.

Great motion detection and high-def video footage
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After researching various baby cams, our friend recommended the Nest Cam as a solid option. The actual device itself is sturdy and durable. Setup was easy, and the magnetic bottom was useful. We were very pleased with the high-def video quality, wide coverage, as well as accurate motion-detection; it can tell the difference between a person vs. pet. Picture quality is high with minimal pixelation and offers a nice zoom and enhance feature. R...

Easy to use with great image
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this camera to be able to keep an eye on my grandmother who still lives on her own but still needs to be checked on throughout the day. This camera with the app helps me to be able to check on her at any time without spending gas money or missing work just to check especially when she doesn’t answer the phone. The camera shows a great clear image with great versatility and options.

Easy to open the box, easy to setup, easy to use phone app. I love that it can tell the difference between people, animals, and cars. That is so cool!

Nest camera
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just love the Google indoor Nest Cam 2nd generation security camera. The camera knows the difference between a person and a pet, and alerts you about things that matter. Check in anytime with 24/7 live view. I would recommend this to anyone.

Great camera
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The camera is excellent. The setup was quite easy. I don’t like the idea of the subscription necessary to get all the features, but it seems like it will be worth it in the long run. I’m interested to see how much I like this down the line.
