📹 Google Nest Cam Indoor 3 Pack - Wired Indoor Home Security Camera - Mobile Alert Control & 24/7 Live Video Surveillance with Night Vision Review

At first I wasn't happy with the cost of these cameras and that you have to pay for a monthly subscription. Because of this, I bought two different types of cameras that required a USB stick instead. I couldn't get any of these cameras to work (well, one worked for about 10 minutes). They were both returned and I took the plunge and bought three packs of nest cameras. Doesn't matter! All three installed and earned within half an hour! The picture quality is amazing and with a $5/month…

Everything else about Nest cameras is great; great picture, great app, great night vision and all around nice features and quality. The part where it all falls apart is when you're trying to deal with subscriptions. Problem #1: You have to CANCEL your subscription and lose all your saved footage before you can upgrade to a new subscription with longer storage. This is a big problem because it leaves gaps in your observation. Problem #2: Nest systems take a long time to sync subscription…

The cameras work well, but the customer service and self-service options in account control have to be the worst of any subscription service. I have seen. Each question requires a 20-40 minute phone call (or rather, waiting for an agent) for something as simple as deactivating and reactivating a subscription (why can't you do this through dashboard self-service?) or paying again with a payment method that initially didn't go through (again, why would I have to call support to do this?). I had…

I can't say enough good things about the Nest Cam. I bought 3 packs and a camera (4 cameras total) for my mother's apartment. My mother is 86 years old and has stage 3 Alzheimer's. She keeps forgetting everything. We live 1200 km apart. Nest Cam helped me to help her with her daily activities. We don't use Nest Cam with videotape. We only use it as a live feed cam so I can contact her and help her with her business. The picture quality is excellent. There's even sound so you can have a full…

I bought these cameras after the Lighthouse store closed thinking it was the second best option after the Lighthouse camera which I loved. 8 months later I wish I had made a different choice, but only partly due to Google's recent changes to the status bar. After the first few months I bought another Nest camera model, thinking I bought the wrong type as the more expensive model needs to have face recognition to make it look more like the Lighthouse camera I had previously. But none of them…

these cameras are amazing. The video quality is excellent as the viewing angles are amazing. You may not think you are in the camera's field of view when you are. It's pretty good, although there's always some noise, like noise. The biggest advantage of Nest cameras is their software, although that can also be their biggest disadvantage. The Nest app works great and gives you the ability to customize each camera's settings. If you want to temporarily disable a camera, just click the toggle in…

I bought a set of 3 Nest Cams. It arrived on time and was beautifully packaged. Setup took a bit, but was made easier by the clever use of barcodes on the back of each camera in conjunction with the Nest app. So far, so good. For most home users, cameras are useless without a cloud storage subscription. With a subscription, videos are stored in the cloud and you can view your activity history at any point in your history (10 or 30 days) or on events such as motion or sound detection. Without a…

I don't like that I can only give Nest 3 stars. I was one of the first to start a nest many years ago. At that time I had 2 cameras. One turned up in solid color and while it wasn't guaranteed they sent me a refurbished replacement. Within a year or less, it suddenly stopped working. On the other hand I had problems because ITS HACKED! Yes, admittedly Nest, because there was no way to avoid what happened. When I was at home the camera had to be turned off and one day as I was walking by I…

I have three main complaints about most CCTV cameras. First, it is easy for hackers to target them. Manufacturers are too busy developing new models to fix old ones. Nest is a Google company. Google is very good with security. Of course, you should protect your Google account with a strong password and preferably two-factor authentication. If someone hacks into your Google account, they can turn off the camera. Or they can turn it on, look around your house and even talk to the nanny. It would…
