Google Nest Security Cam (Wired) - 2nd Generation - Linen

Mistakenly order thinking it would operate outdoors in a Canadian winter.

I love this camera paired with the Nest Aware service. It seamlessly was added to my Google Home app. The recording video and sound quality are great. The motion detection works flawlessly. Every Google product I've owned was nothing but good and high quality. I love the look of it as well.

Excellent upgrade to previous model from a quality video standpoint. Not quite as flexible as the previous version. Missing the magnetic function now. No black color available

***UPDATE*** I was today years old when I realized that I could view my camera on my TCL TVs since they both are powered by Google. What a nice surprise! I know a lot of people's complaints were that you could no longer view on the Nest app or computers, so I thought I would mention the TV capability. 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.

Super simple to hook into my Google Nest system. Love the face recognition and ability to control pushed alerts. Also really appreciate the ability to schedule and automate when and why everything comes on. I have 3 more cameras to hook up as well as a doorbell with a camera and multiple floodlight cameras. I did purchase the Google Nest Aware access today for $80 a year. This allows multiple extra features and 30-60 days of video storage. This is the 2nd camera of my home security system. I have my entire house Googled-up - from thermost, to light/lamp control, speakers, Wifi, doorbell, televisions, hottub, LED lighting, and soon to be a total of 5 cameras (and a lot more!), it is quite impressive to say the least. These features are especially nice in a 1970s home where all of your house lights are literally floor/table lamps (in the early 70s, not having overhead lights controlled by switches was all the rage!). Turning on 25 lamps multiple times a day becomes a miserable task. Wifi 120v power plug sockets are amazing! Note that the photo is simply a screenshot taken from my Google Home app at night with no lights on. The top camera is the Google Nest (no infrared) and the bottom is the feed from this camera with night vision turned on. The nightvision/infrared is black and white. During the day, or when the lights are on, both cameras have clear, crisp pictures with sound.
