“I have 6 cameras, 4 outdoor new gen, one doorbell new gen, and one indoor new gen.”r/Nest
Reddit users who have adopted Google Nest Cam Indoor (Wired) as part of broader home security setups generally report satisfaction with reliability and ecosystem integration. One r/homesecurity user who loaded up on “a combination of wired indoor and battery outdoor cameras”, accumulating 11 in total, praised the platform because “they've been out for awhile and they seem to be very reliable”4, while also highlighting the ability to bridge into Apple Home via Starling as a key selling point. On r/Nest, a user comparing generations noted improved shadow detail in the Gen 3 image quality, though some frustration surfaced around the free tier's clip limits, with one commenter lamenting “what I find annoying is that you get 10 second clips on the free tier”, a subscription-model concern that tempers otherwise positive impressions of the wired indoor camera's performance.
