The camera, itself appears to be OK. The only exception is that the power cable was designed backwards. The major problem is that you cannot use this “Nest” camera with the “Nest” app. You have to use it in the Google Home app where its functionality and capabilities are rendered useless. None of the features available in the Nest app are accessible in the Home app. There is also an insane list of restrictions for setting up automations. So many, that every automation I’ve ever tried to set up gives you an error saying it’s not permitted. Even something as simple as turning the camera off when you’re home. Also, any integration that Google Home has with Smart Home applications hides this camera from them, so you cannot integrate it with anything. This camera is the worst purchase I ever made.

This is exactly what I was looking for! Camera is fast and easy to set up, and install. It comes in 2 pieces, the base and the camera that attach together with a strong magnet. I love that I dont have to worry about running ugly cords! I installed it outdoors, well above the recommended 6ft and the quality is still great! Its great that I can view the camera from my phone and also my google nest hub...perfect for keeping an eye on my kids while I cook dinner! The camera also has a 2 way built in microphone that works great as well. I've had the camera installed for about 3 weeks and the battery life is still good, the app lets me know how much battery life is left. The camera/app saves 3 hours of video history, but you can purchase a subscription through Google for more storage. The 3 hours has been sufficient for me so far! I definitely will be buying a few more of these for my home.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my Google Nest Cam. It's designed for indoor or outdoor use. This camera is easy to set up. The Home app walks me through the installation and gives me detailed instructions. Mounting is easy with the magnetic mount that's included. This camera can either be plugged in with waterproof power cables or it can run on battery. 1080p HD with night vision. Instantly get phone alerts. High quality product at an even greater value. I'm very happy with this product and the secure end results.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very impressed and happy with this camera. Set up and installation was easy and didn't take long. The camera itself is very well made and sturdy, and also a very nice size so it covers more area. I have a fairly large backyard, and I am able to monitor almost all of it with this camera. It has also handled a lot of rain just fine.The app is user friendly and works well. The picture quality is fantastic and clear day or night. I really like that it can tell the difference between people and cars so I'm not getting annoying alerts that I don't want. Facial recognition is also a great feature that I never knew I needed, but appreciate so my kids aren't always setting off the alerts. Overall this a top of the line camera that is perfect for indoor or outdoor use, and it is so easy to monitor what is going on at your house.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] WOW, this has to be the easiest camera to install! I have yet to decide where I would actually like to place this Google Nest Cam, which means I need to buy more. Currently I am only using the magnetic mount and moving it to multiple places and I honestly need more of them in my life! Just download app, go though install steps and bam you have a camera with live viewing, two way microphone and video recording. The magnet is super strong and keep in mind all exterior doors have metal so it's a breeze to snap on a door. I promise you will end up like me and want 10 more.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First thing, and maybe this should be obvious, this can really only be used cordless if you are going to regularly charge it or if there is some easy way to plug it in and also hang it. (There is not at my house.) You can get an exterior cord or a stand as accessories but we chose to set it up to monitor our lower level family room, where our dog and 10 year old hang out. The magnetic wall mount, while technically not meant to be used for a table top, worked fine for our purposes. Set up took under 5 minutes as we joined our existing Nest network. The camera is picture quality is really good in with adequate lighting and OK in darker settings.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This worked well for what I wanted it for but I would see it falling short for others. I wanted to monitor my dog while I'm at work and don't need storage of video, for that it works flawlessly. I can view at any time and the video is clear. The sound is good and the microphone works well too. I've had other cameras where the mic distorts so that was a plus. I didn't have any trouble with set up, it was very easy except that I downloaded nest and they have switched to Google Home. This is my first nest product so this didn't affect me. I hate subscription models so I would never that feature, but you need it if you want more than 3 hours of backed up video. I don't need this but it would be a deterrent for many.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my Google Nest cam. I use this in the war and I use it to monitor when my daughter comes home from school had to make sure she made it home safe. I also have it set up that it monitors my younger daughter who is now transitioning into a bed that she doesn't sneak out of her room at night. I love how you can communicate through the next and I plan on purchasing a whole system. If you have tried others I highly recommend that you give the nest system a try it is well worth it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always worried about my home's security and this nest camera has given me some relief. This is great for monitoring indoor or outdoor activity. The camera is battery operated and is easy to install. It has great HD picture quality and amazing sound clarity. The night vision is an added advantage. It has a 3 hour free recording capability.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this camera. It was super easy to install and setup. Drill two holes, screw on the base, and the camera snaps on. Setup through the Google Home app was really simple. I like that you can tag familiar faces and get alerts with their name when the camera sees them. I'm thinking about ordering some more for the rest of the house!
