Google Nest Cam Indoor - - Review

I have been using the Google Nest Cam Indoor for over a year, and I must say that it is a noteworthy surveillance camera. The 1st Generation Nest Cam Indoor is wired, meaning you don't have to worry about charging or replacing batteries. And with 24/7 live stream video in full 1080p HD over Wi-Fi, I can check in on my home from anywhere, anytime. The ability to control the camera with your phone and get mobile alerts is just outstanding.

The setup process of the Nest Cam Indoor is straightforward, and takes no more than a few minutes. The free Nest app makes the setup process even more comfortable, as it walks you through the rest after plugging it into a wall outlet. The app is user-friendly, and feature-rich, allowing you to view video footage, control camera settings, and set up alerts with ease.

The picture quality of the Nest Cam Indoor is absolutely stunning. In daylight hours, the footage is crystal clear, and it is easy to identify objects or people in the video. Even in the darkest conditions, the night vision featuring eight high-power infrared LEDs provide enough light for clear video recording. I appreciate the ability to send clips to family or friends in 1920x1080 resolution, which makes sharing events or incidents with others much more comfortable.

One feature that stood out to me is the industry-leading security that the Nest Cam Indoor provides. Video feeds and information are well-protected, and I feel secure knowing that my data is protected. As an added security measure, I enabled two-factor authentication for my account which helped take my account protection to the next level.

The mobile alerts and notifications are a game-changer. I never miss anything as I am alerted as soon as the camera spots any activity. The event can be saved for sharing later, and I appreciate that the three-hour snapshot history is there should I need to refer back to it. The intelligent alerts and activity zones made available through the free trial of Nest Aware for 30-days are just great features that give even more peace of mind. Keeping the service starting at $6 per month for your Nest devices after the trial ends is worth it given the quality of the Nest Cam Indoor.

The Nest Cam Indoor also comes with 2-way audio, enabling communication with anyone who is around the camera. The audio quality is excellent, and the ability to get the kids to put away the milk from my phone is just fantastic.

The Nest Cam Indoor is designed for flexible mounting, which makes it easy to mount to the wall or place it on a shelf. The magnetic base is a nice touch and supports mounting on metal surfaces. The camera is small enough to hide away on a shelf, although I recommend keeping it in plain sight for maximum visibility.

One improvement that could be made for the Nest Cam Indoor is to add a battery backup. In the event of a power outage, the camera would continue to record events, even if it only lasts for a few hours.

Overall, I recommend the Google Nest Cam Indoor to anyone in the market for a reliable, flexible, and secure surveillance system. The Nest Cam Indoor is user-friendly, feature-rich and provides excellent video footage in both night and daylight environments. The peace of mind that the Nest Cam Indoor affords is priceless, and the 2-year Limited Warranty means that purchasing it is an investment in your security.
