What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the camera for exceptional video clarity, effortless setup, and reliable performance. The crisp, crystal-clear daytime and nighttime images, combined with intuitive app integration and smart detection features that distinguish people, animals, and vehicles, make it a top-tier security solution. Setup takes under five minutes with straightforward QR code scanning and Wi-Fi connection. Two-way audio and detection features are valued bonuses. Some reviewers note frustration with app ecosystem changes and limited free video history, but these concerns remain secondary to strong satisfaction with the hardware itself.

Unusable bright pink video
Would Not RecommendThe image quality degrades and becomes bright pink after the camera has been powered on for 12-24 hours. Support claimed it was overheating, but it's in a north-facing Window that never gets sun at any time during the day. It's indoors at 69F and 45% humidity. Replaced the camera and same issue with the new unit. Never had this problem with other products used in the same location. Will return it and try something else.
Google home app is disappointing
Would Not RecommendThe original Nest cameras that use the Nest app are amazing. I have had zero issues with them. These new cameras are great but the Home app SUCKS. It is more difficult to play back, and sometimes it can take hours before video from 10 minutes ago can be seen. Stay away. Notice the time on the screen shot and the time from my phone.

Absolute garbage
Would Not RecommendOnly buy this camera if you want to see the message “live video unavailable” 90% of the time. No fixes on the internet and tons of people posting the same problem. Here’s another fun feature, it’ll alert you to a persons presence but then say… you guessed it “live video unavailable”. I think, why is it unavailable? This is the singular purpose it was purchased for, what more important thing could it possibly be doing except providing me with the video of the person it’s alerting me to?? Don’t b...

Great picture
Would RecommendFirst we purchased the battery outdoor Nest cam's. While they were okay, they did not tape constantly, only clips with motion. The main reason for returning them was having to take them down and recharge the battery every 3 weeks. That's when we decided to get the wired Nest cams. The wired Nest cameras run constantly. We can go back in time and view, which is perfect for us. These are for indoor only. The night vision picture is very good quality. We have several cameras, Blink. Ri...

More useful than expected
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has been one of those things that I didn’t know I needed until I had it. Took me a while to set it up after getting it, but will not go without it again and will likely get a few more. Maybe even splurge and get the wireless ones. I originally thought the wired state would be a massive inconvenience, but it wasn’t so bad because the cord is really long. I wouldn’t recommend you use it outside since it could easily be unplugged and ca...

Very disappointing
Would Not RecommendWas expecting much better performance out of Google with this camera. The interface is useful, allowing multiple zones to be set up for different alert types (people, animals, etc.) but without paying for Google's monitoring service, the video from event triggers is deleted after only three hours. The camera repeatedly has gone offline with no alert in the Google Home app that it has done so and requires a power cycle to come back online. My cheap momentum camera in my garage consistently outper...

Google Nest Camera Doesn’t Work with Nest Cameras
Would Not RecommendIf you already have Nest cameras in your home, you can’t use this Google Nest camera. You could probably set up a separate account but who wants to pay for two accounts and go through the hassle of using two apps each time you check your cameras.

Disappointed with Google/Nest
Would Not RecommendWhile I’m happy with the clarity of the nest camera, because it is a 2nd generation, the consumer is unable to add to existing Nest app. You must access footage through Google Home. Google AND Lowes should make it clear in the description of this negative feature! Ad with anything with Google, the rules changes in the middle of the game! Just to be clear, I did reach out to Google customer support.
