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

Mostly satisfied with this. The zoom is only so so, but otherwise picture and sensitivity to motion and sound are good.

As rich as Google is I would have expected them to have a software support. The customer service had no interest in getting the camera working. Googles solution was to get a Windows computer. I have a much older model that was supported by Nest and it works like a champ.

I love these cameras. It was super easy for me to install and set up tha cameras. I have the three on and running on my wifi and I can still stream quickly. The cameras have great picture quality and the night view is clear as well. Yes you do have to pay to save the data, but I preferred this option over t tint to select a system that records that I could install myself. And as far as it not being a good security camera, Dont worry about that. I get alerts about every ten minutes for movement. And you can really zoom and adjust these cameras to avoid alerts such as your dog. I may not be able to call 911 immediately but that is what a standard security alarm is for. Cameras tend to catch the criminals in the act for you to view later and give to the cops. If you are expecting to catch and call in the act, I would reccomd getting a burglar alarm with monitoring.

Bought a nest to keep an eye on our carriage house. Happy with the purchase -- it was easy to install / set up the app and the video quality is really good. I wish the camera had the ability to pan like some baby monitors do. But it does provide a wide view of the room. It is nice to be able to check on things from the convenience of your smart phone.

I ordered two different versions of the Nest, and this one was the lower price, the same great quality it just doesnt have face recognition (which in my opinion can be a bit annoying in the notifications after some time). This camera has a great wide angle view and I would order more for other parts of my house when I get the chance.

Works great! The Nest Aware feature is a bit pricy since we use it as a baby monitor. Wide angle captures the entire room. I would give it five stars if the app was updated so that you could hear sound when the app is in the background or when the phone is locked.

Long-time Dropcam user here. Recently moved into a new apartment, and decided to get a Nest Cam. I ended up returning it though, because Nest removed a few features that were critical for me. Heres my review. The Good -Sleek new hardware design -Similarly sleek new Nest website and iPhone app The Bad -Confusing, redundant UIs. Theres the new Nest website and iPhone app, and theres also (still) the old Dropcam website and iPhone app. Why both? Finish the transition already! Get rid of the old one. It only causes confusion -Notifications are unreliable. I setup my new Nest Cam in my living room, waved my arms around like a lunatic, but didnt immediately get a notification on my phone or via e-mail. Thats kind of important. I dont want a burglar to have a 10 minute head start. -Oh, and e-mail notifications... they dropped that feature! Whaaaat, right???? -Another feature they dropped, the one where you could choose to have the camera turn off automatically when youre around. Now, you have to MANUALLY turn it on/off. What year is this? 1992? Aint nobody got time for that!! Nest, you made a great piece of hardware, and a great sleek new website and iPhone app, but you RUINED it by removing some critical features, and failing on the simple things (like sending immediate notifications).

Ive tried a few cameras and this is BY FAR the best. It has solid wifi connectivity unlike the Yi camera and never goes offline. Also uploading and steaming to Nest Aware is solid and AWESOME. The only complaint I have is that I wish the stand was more versatile or Nest sold additional stands for various circumstances. The stand is too large in circumference to mount in my window frame due to the housing for my blinds. I use it for looking at my front area and have no desire to mount an exterior camera.

I love my Nest Cam! I use it to monitor my dog while Im at work to make sure he is behaving and not disrupting the neighbors by barking or whining loudly. The camera is a little odd shaped so it does stand out when mounted or placed on a shelf or table, but it is small so slightly better than displaying a big, bulky camera. I did notice that after my free trial subscription expired I began receiving fewer notifications of sound and motion, which is disappointing. For my use I would prefer the sound sensors to be more sensitive, often I will access the app when leaving my neighborhood and find my dog barking but I did not receive a notification. Also I found that when using the mobile app at work I have to first disable Wifi connections in order to see the video. This is not an issue when logging on through a computer. I highly recommend the nest cam if you have children or pets that you want to keep an eye on while you are away. It provides a great piece of mind that he is safe and behaving (and answers my curiosity of what he does all day while Im at work).

We have a cabin up north that we do not get to as much as we would like to. I am always nervous that someone is going to break in so I bought this and put it up on the counter with a view of the main area. It was been amazing! The only complaint I have is that it is sooooo sensitive that it picks up shadows moving through the windows. I would highly recommend this!!
