The Google Home app tries to connect to an assisted device during setup. It fails. There are no work-a-rounds offered. Contacted Google and was quoted a 3 minute response time. After 33 minutes, Google support prompt thanked me for my call and that if I still needed assistance, to call back. Submitted another ticket w/Google and got a call back. I was told that this the “Cannot Connect to Assisting Device” is a known issue and to either wait for a Google Home app update to fix the software issue (est time ???) or return the item to Home Depot. a bit frustrated that I wasted time ordering, waiting at the online pick-up until I was told to go get the item myself from the cage by the registers, and the Nest can does not even work.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It has good video and nice range. It will alert if motion detected. I had a few problems setting up. I was used to Apple products and am working now on a Samsung tablet - so probably operator error. I only have one Google nest cam and didn't have any other devices in Google Home. When you view the camera, it shows battery life- right now mine is on 76% or 3 weeks. It estimates it on usage, weather and camera activity. (got the indoor/outdoor) Currently use indoor. Video can sense motion and record it. Can view histroy and send notification if it senses a person. The microphone will pick up voices and noises and you can speak through the nest camera. I have been playing with the magnetic part of it. I stuck to my refrigerator, a 3 hole punch, and a metal wall art.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Nest cam is a great device. Easy to install and operate. The unit comes in two parts, base & camera. No need to hardwire because the camera hooks up to the base via heavy duty magnet so you can remove to charge via USB cord (included). Only caveat it is hard to pair with Alexa. Still trying to pair. Otherwise this unit is great to have for peace/piece of mind and security and you can view through your phone, save clips, and view battery strength. The picture/video quality is quite sharp and you can view your history easily. The sound is clear and crisp. I do recommend the Nest Cam!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wonderful little camera - good for indoor or outdoor use, which was a great selling point for me. Installation was very simple and fast. All I had to do was plug in the camera, install the app, and scan the QR code to connect it to my wifi. I like that is can be recharged or used while plugged in. Really great picture quality, even when it’s dark out. It is a “smart” camera and can learn what faces to recognize and when to notify you that someone outside of the recognized faces is picked up by the camera. We have it mounted above the garage so we can see when people pull up and when deliveries are made. It is small and hardly noticeable. I use the Google Home app on my phone, and the camera shows up there along with all of my other Google Home compatible devices. I am able to quickly see what is happening in real time and also review the camera’s history. I am able to view what is happening at my home even if I’m not there and that gives me so much peace of mind. Hoping to get a few more of these set up to cover the perimeter of my home.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second Nest cam. We have a wired indoor cam and this battery indoor/outdoor cam. As you can see from the photos, the live picture is very clear and sharp. One was taken at dusk, while the other was taken in complete darkness. The setup of the camera with the Home app was simple and easy. The sensors on the cam are sensitive and pickup motions quickly and the cam begins taping. In the setup, you have multiple choices of what notifications you wish to receive, such as vehicles, animals, persons, etc. I purchased an annual subscription to Nest Aware, so event history would be accessible for 30 days before being deleted. Otherwise, the cam only stores 3 hours of history at a time before resetting. Google has created and easy to use app and high quality camera.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Set up is So easy! Download Google Home App and add camera. The best part is not having to deal with wires, so just mount and go. I suggest you do face recognition before mounting. The magnetic mount is very strong and the battery life still almost full after 2 tweeks. Video and two way sound I found to be very clear. Features animal detection, vehicle detection and familiar face is awesome. Like competitors subscription required for 24H /7 or 3 hours worth of events free. Google Nest Cam does not work with Amazon,Alexa or integrate with other security systems, but you should know that before you buy. The bottom line is if you like easy and quick install this camera is for you.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very excited to try out my new Google Nest Cam and knew exactly where I would use it. Set up was incredibly easy. Just download the Google Home app and then scan the QR code. From there, I answered series of questions that guided me from camera connection to installation. This tiny camera is amazing and includes motion-detection pictures & videos, low-light capabilities, customized alerts and facial recognition technology. There's an extra level of comfort being able to monitor my home's blindspots. I love it!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this camera. It was easy to set up and very easy to install. I love how easy it is remove when I need to charge it. The magnet is very strong and I think it would stay attached during heavy winds. The battery estimate says 7 months!! Wow! It loads very quick when you get an alert. It's awesome you can hear and even speak through the camera. The live video works well and the history timeline feature is very easy to navigate to see past events. The image is clear and crisp and the night view is also very good. So far I am very impressed with the camera and I have not even fully discovered all the settings and features.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great camera. It was easy to set up. Just follow the instructions on the Google Home app. I placed mine outside near the entrance to my basement. It was easy to install as it took a couple of screws, and you are set. It picks up people and animals as they walk by. The clarity is very good as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the Nest Cam to monitor activity on the side of our home that leads into our yard. This area is a blind spot for us and faces the entrance to our cul-de-sac. We own a couple of other Nest products and it is a reputable brand that I trust with performance and longevity. This camera also has several features which helped in making our decision to get this camera. It can be used indoors or outdoors, it is powered by the built-in rechargeable battery, and it can provide intelligent notifications (motion is caused by people, animals, or vehicles). This product was very easy to set up and install. You will first need to plug the Nest Cam into an outlet, download the Google Home app, create an account and follow the steps to set up the camera by selecting Nest Cam(battery). There is a sticker on the camera lens which has a QR code that you will need to scan to connect the camera to your home’s Wi-Fi network. After connecting, you will be given the opportunity to enroll in a 15-day Nest Aware trial period which one needs to view recordings longer than the most recent 3 hours and also the face recognition feature. This is a con to me when subscriptions are required to reap further benefits. Installing the Nest Cam was quite simple as all you need to do is attach the mounting plate, with the enclosed screws and anchors, to the area you want to place the camera then lock the magnetic plate onto the mounting plate and secure the camera to the magnetic plate. The camera holds steadily once installed. The beauty of it being battery powered is that you can place it anywhere! The video quality is superb for both day and night and the motion detection and intelligent notifications were precise. I liked that these alerts can be tailored such as you may only want to be notified when a person causes the motion and not a car or animal. The app is easy to use and we are reassured that we can readily monitor our house while we are home or away.
