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

Love my cameras. Extra measure of protection is exactly what I needed. When leaving my apartment. I can communicate with my kids when I leave them home alone and keep an eye on things when my apartment is empty. I get notifications when it picks up a sound or movement and I absolutely love it. You can play back movements there really nothing wrong that I can think of. The unit does get hot so I have it set to turn off when I am home. I used to have them on 24/7.

Great build quality. Video streaming is about 1 sec lag at all times. Not for outdoor use. Will not shoot nighttime video pointed out a window. App for iOS and notifications need minor upgrades and improvements. App functions well. No onsite or free cloud storage. Must pay for nest aware at $10 us for first cam and $5 each additional per month.

This is a fantastic camera. However, the installation didnt go perfectly smoothly for me and I had to call Nest support because it would not connect to my Wi-Fi. Unlike every other tech gear support group, these people are there, and very quickly, and I always have the right answers the first time. The camera works amazingly well and we will probably be getting another one at some point.

Let me clarify my 1 star review - when it was a Dropcam product and corresponding App, it was 5 stars and I would have rated it higher! But now that it is owned by Nest, it is just tortuous at best. I would have expected Nest to do things well especially since they have such great products over the years, but they seemed to have put their C-team on this product. The camera is now just plain crap. When it works, its a miracle. Then there is the App - wow did they mess this up. Its probably the worst app for an iPhone - period. No joke. I am thoroughly disappointed and will move on to the new Arlo system in January, plus I wont have to pay for the overpriced subscriptions anymore. Wait for the newest Arlo coming out January 29th, dont buy this POS. update: Nest commented that they are here 24/7 for support. This might be true, but getting anybody that knows what they are doing on the phone as well as actually completing request(s)...is a minor miracle like I said above. I have also had so many problems with a NEST Thermostat and never received any concrete answers, so its sitting in a box in the closet for a long time now. Im really glad that the Dropcam people made some $ from the Nest buyout, but with that Im sorry to say Im done with Nest as a company as soon as it is convenient to move to something else.

I bought the nest cam to use in my babys room. I am very disappointed with the after using it for just a day. My primary complaint is that Nest has completely locked down the NestCam, and only allow you to access to your camera feed through their website and/or apps. In the event that your internet is spotty or unreliable, you will not be able to access your camera. There is no way to save videos or images besides paying for their service, theyve been very careful to make sure no one else can access or save the footage. In terms of using the apps and website, I was also disappointed. The video feed on the app will sometimes hang or say its disconnected, requiring you to completely close the app and open it again. I saw this on both the Android and iOS apps. Additionally, the website for viewing your camera feed has been unreliable for me (both on Firefox and Chrome), showing a black image where the video feed shows, but without any error message, until I refresh the page. Considering this is the only way to access your video feed, its worrisome to say the least. The most frustrating thing about his camera is that I cant help but feel that they are stealing my video from me. I could buy a webcam for $20-$30 and have access to my video over LAN, on the internet, or anywhere using free software. For $200 Nest sends my video directly to their servers, and wont let me save it until I pay their monthly subscription fee. Theyre basically holding my own video hostage. For almost $200 after tax, you can do much, much better. Please take my advice and spend less than half the price for something that lets you have access to your own video. Pros - Good quality image - Strong IR night vision - Very simple setup - Build quality feels solid Cons - Very bad lag, even when youre on same wifi network (10+ seconds) - Apps are unreliable (Android, iOS, and web) - Camera is entirely useless if your internet is down/unreliable - No way to view camera feed outside of their provided apps - Not possible to view camera feed over LAN when youre on the same wifi connection as the camera

I like it a lot. I use it to check on my puppy when I am at work. It’s a little glitchy. Sometimes you have to do things, like unplug it and plug it back in or reinstall the app (annoying). I like the convenience of cloud storage. The design is pleasing to my eyes. Tells me temp and shows snowflakes when it is snowing. Seems reliable aside from the weird glitches.

I could not be happier with this purchase. It was SO easy to instal- both the app and installing it on my wall. I love the range that the camera sees. Its small so I assumed it would only capture a small portion of the room- nope. It has a very wide range view. You have to pay extra to save the videos- but it gives you a free month trial. Its so worth it!!! I get updates to my phone when motion or a person is detected. Its also adorable to see what my cats are doing while Im away- those little rascals

When this company was DropCam, the Video and Sound matched up. After Nest bought out DropCam, there started to be a 15-second delay between what you see and what you hear when watching the video which is really annoying. This happens no matter which device or location Im in. I am going to switch to another product. Thanks, Nest, for messing up a good product.

These cameras have been a life saver for us. We keep tabs on our 3 dogs during our times away and they have been wonderful for checking in on activity in the home. The picture quality is excellent. Things both near and far from the camera are all somehow in focus. The night vision is good to. No visible light is seen with the naked eye but everything is lit up when viewing over the app.The abi;ity to speak over the phone into the camera is a nice feature also.You can scan back in time to see what was going on if you didnt see something live in real time. These are a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for, and these are worth it

The cam is great, very good picture quality, the function to monitor on a PC is good, the app could be much better. Its unlikely to view more than a couple clips on the app before it crashes and you have to start over. The old dropcam app never crashed, only the nest app. Minus the app shortfall, I believe these are the best and easiest to use cams on the market. I use 3 to supplement security around the house, a descent internet speed easily handles all 3. I disable the night vision and point them outside my house from inside windows. As long as theres a little light outside, I get a great image without having to use another brands outdoor cam. Wish Nest would make a weatherproof version that runs on batteries.
