Monitor your home and respond to unexpected events with the built-in speaker and microphone, all through the Google Home app.

HDR technology helps you see details in bright, high-contrast sunlight, and night vision gives you a clear image in low light or even in the dark.
Activity Zone Setup
Set up activity zones to receive alerts on your phone for specific areas of your home and know when familiar faces arrive ( A Nest Aware subscription is required for familiar face alerts).

How do I use/install it?

Having already three cameras from Xiaomi, I thought of trying the Google camera in order to have better integration with Google Home. As known, you cannot view Xiaomi cameras from the Google application, only from the Mi Home application.
Initially, the build quality is excellent, you can tell as soon as you open the package. The installation is also very simple, as well as the setup in the GHome application.
I tested it in various areas of the house (entrance, living room, etc.) and I can say that it is quite different than what I expected. The image quality is not as good as Xiaomi's (it's not bad, just not 2K), but ultimately you get this camera for all the other things it does. It recognizes faces, animals, and cars, records up to 3 hours of what is happening (it also has a month of recording but you pay £5 per month), I can view the image through the application and also through the Google Nest devices I have at home. I will probably replace all my cameras with this one. You sacrifice a bit of image quality but you get a lot of other things.
Finally, I thought of using it as a baby monitor above the baby's bed. I already had an ibaby and a Xiaomi camera in the past and I was not satisfied with either. If I knew this from the beginning, I wouldn't have bought another camera. It has truly saved me. If you are a parent with such a need, get the camera and a nest with a screen and you will remember me.
As I said before, I will probably change all the cameras to Google and have peace of mind.
