Review Text: Decent Camera with limited integration. I use multiple different cameras and other IoT devices for my home, so integration to other platforms is important, and unfortunately with the removal of using the nest app and only using the google home app this camera doesn't work for me. If you don't have other cameras or you exclusively use Google for your smart home this may work for you, but if you have any other home hub for all your devices this is not going to work. The only way you can use the camera is through the google home app, which means even the nest app that had some integration doesn't work. Outside of the one big negative for me, the camera is pretty good. Setup in the google home app is easy, and I love the ability to ignore motion for known faces. This feature lets you not get a notification for people in your household which is nice if you are using the camera to help guard your home. You do have to use google services to use the camera, so there is no on-device storage which may not be for everyone. The actual camera is a pretty solid build, and heavy enough to stay in place plus it comes with mounting brackets. I actually would have liked this to be an outdoor camera, so it's also a little disappointing it is only for indoor use. Overall, if you are using only google for your smart home and want an indoor camera this is pretty decent. But if you are in multiple ecosystems then you won't be able to add this camera there.
