Many find the Google Home app unusable and dislike that it no longer supports the Nest app.

    "...The only thing I don’t like is that you can only use it in the Google Home app and not the Nest app (which is advertised and I was aware of)." Read more

    "...These cameras will NOT connect to the google nest app, period...." Read more

    Good investment
    4 out of 5 stars
    Good investment
    This is the first security camera I have ever purchased so I have nothing to compare it to, but I am happy with the product. If you have the camera inside facing out the window while in the night vision mode you will see just the reflection of the window, like some other reviews stated, but it's as simple as turning off night vision-refer to the pictures. I do have a porch light that comes on when dark so if you don't have a light that will probably affect what your video picks up.

      Just a heads up you only get "event" view for free with nest cameras, but for $8 that changes across all nest cameras. This camera is extremely easy to set up, Google Home is a wonderful app that hasn't caused any issues for us, the design is nice and build quality feels solid. Connection to the camera is the best we've experienced (many cameras use 2.4ghz for streaming), which is awful. This has run at 99.9% consistentcy and even with that missing percent it was due to the phone not connecting, not the camera itself shutting off. We returned two Chinese cameras and got this camera, which was significantly more expensive but worth the investment. Night vision is excellent and there are plenty of other features within the app. Oh, and the AI it uses is incredible, you can record in your home and have it only recognize a pet or individual person instead of it notifying you of everything it sees. Talking through it also works perfectly. Little to no delay on streaming. 5 stars.

      I bought 3 cams and just received them today. These cams are made with high quality. Vey easy to install and set up. Basically just plug in and follow the instructions step by step on Google home app.
      Night vision is a great feature for security monitoring. Without any lights on, you can still see everything in the room from the app.Amazing. Without paying any fee, there is 3 hour recording by Google.
      Thanks to the technology. 10-15 years ago, a security system not even as good as this would cost a fortune, at least a few thousand dollars. Now I paid only a little over $200.
      I highly recommend them to everyone from my experience using them.

      This camera is as described, but do your research if you use the Nest app--this doesn't work with it. This Gen 2 camera only works in the Google Home app. I prefer the Nest app and wish I figured that out beforehand since my other cameras are Gen 1 and I just wanted to add one more.

      I've been using Amazon Cloudcam since it's inception, unfortunately Amazon has discontinued that service. I was quite happy with it, cameras had good video quality (all things considered when they first came out), performance was good, desktop viewing, easy to load recorded clips.

      Being forced to get a new camera was daunting, I did as much research as possible and chose the Google Nest cam. Yearly subscription and features seemed good, cameras were reasonably priced compared to Ring and came with the Google Home ecosystem which was promising.

      Got my cameras, installed them and then all the issues started. First, there is NO WAY to watch your cameras from a desktop browser, this seems extremely nuts for me, how does Google, a tech powerhouse have no option for this? For my Amazon cameras, I would just log into cloudcam.amazon.com and instantly watch all my cameras at once. When I'm at work it was an easy way to monitor all my cameras at once. But for Google Nest, nope, you have to watch from your phone. Not ideal when I'm at work and you can't watch on a big screen. I can not express the amount of disappointment this brings. Apparently before Google bought Nest you could watch them on a desktop. So disappointing.

      I placed my new cameras on the same spots as my old Amazon Cloudcams, they are reasonably located from my WiFi router and boosters. My 4 year old Cloudcams performed flawlessly from these locations, video streaming loaded right away. Google Nest cameras constantly refresh with a black screen and give me constant "Live video unavailable". So far owning them for 4ish days I get that message 90% of the time. Performance has been extremely underwhelming for a Google product. How can brand new cameras perform so poorly compared to 4 year old "obsolete" technology.

      You want to watch recorded video clips? Good luck, they take FOREVER to load. By the time they load your house has already been robbed. Clips taking up to a minute to load. These are recorded clips in the cloud, how can this be so slow? Again on my Amazon Cloudcam it takes about 3-5 seconds for a 5 minute clip to load. Google Nest takes up to a minute to load a 10 second clip.

      When the camera works (and its not often) the video quality is great, night vision feature is sharp, motion detection is also great. Unfortunately though the Google ecosystem is extremely subpar. Their Home app is also something to be desired. It seems so rushed and poorly designed, like a last minute "we need an app" situation. The lack of customizing where you want icons placed are also so so bad.

      As for customer service, I chatted them today trying to get help, I've been on the chat so far for 36 minutes getting the same copy and paste answers from their CS person. Took 20 minutes for them to get figure out how to get me to approve for them to get into my system. Going on 40 minutes they ask me for a screenshot. Big yikes Google.

      I want to like the cameras but ultimately I will return them all (I spent north of $500 on all of these). Maybe try the more expensive Ring or cheaper Wyzecam.

      If you're looking for an easy setup camera system with little frustration, these are not it.

      Update: over 1.5 hours with Google support and they seemed clueless. Telling me to uninstall the app, turn off the cameras, asking me what phone I was using, it was all useless. Most of them I already did. Anyway, all 4 cameras have been returned to Amazon.

      While I was on the chat for over 1.5 hours I researched other cameras and decided to go with Wyzecam. $99 a year for unlimited cameras, web browsing included, color night vision. Cheaper pricepoint on the hardware too.

      1.0 out of 5 stars Extremely Disappointing, Expected more from Google
      Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2022
      I've been using Amazon Cloudcam since it's inception, unfortunately Amazon has discontinued that service. I was quite happy with it, cameras had good video quality (all things considered when they first came out), performance was good, desktop viewing, easy to load recorded clips.

      Being forced to get a new camera was daunting, I did as much research as possible and chose the Google Nest cam. Yearly subscription and features seemed good, cameras were reasonably priced compared to Ring and came with the Google Home ecosystem which was promising.

      Got my cameras, installed them and then all the issues started. First, there is NO WAY to watch your cameras from a desktop browser, this seems extremely nuts for me, how does Google, a tech powerhouse have no option for this? For my Amazon cameras, I would just log into cloudcam.amazon.com and instantly watch all my cameras at once. When I'm at work it was an easy way to monitor all my cameras at once. But for Google Nest, nope, you have to watch from your phone. Not ideal when I'm at work and you can't watch on a big screen. I can not express the amount of disappointment this brings. Apparently before Google bought Nest you could watch them on a desktop. So disappointing.

      I placed my new cameras on the same spots as my old Amazon Cloudcams, they are reasonably located from my WiFi router and boosters. My 4 year old Cloudcams performed flawlessly from these locations, video streaming loaded right away. Google Nest cameras constantly refresh with a black screen and give me constant "Live video unavailable". So far owning them for 4ish days I get that message 90% of the time. Performance has been extremely underwhelming for a Google product. How can brand new cameras perform so poorly compared to 4 year old "obsolete" technology.

      You want to watch recorded video clips? Good luck, they take FOREVER to load. By the time they load your house has already been robbed. Clips taking up to a minute to load. These are recorded clips in the cloud, how can this be so slow? Again on my Amazon Cloudcam it takes about 3-5 seconds for a 5 minute clip to load. Google Nest takes up to a minute to load a 10 second clip.

      When the camera works (and its not often) the video quality is great, night vision feature is sharp, motion detection is also great. Unfortunately though the Google ecosystem is extremely subpar. Their Home app is also something to be desired. It seems so rushed and poorly designed, like a last minute "we need an app" situation.

      The bubbly shape is so cute. This camera is solid and comes in a box that feels like you made a purchase from the Apple Store. Very good quality camera easy to set up and easy to use. Highly recommend checks off all the boxes.

      Installation worked very well. I replaced an older outdoor camera that was on nest aware; however don't know how to change that nest aware subscription to include the replacement camera now.
