Google Nest Cam - Outdoor or Indoor, Battery - 2nd Gen - 1 Pack

The Nest Cam security camera is designed to be wire-free and weather-resistant, allowing it to be placed almost anywhere, both indoors and outdoors. With intelligent alerts and the ability to take action directly from the Google Home app, you can stay informed about important events happening at home.[1] The wireless nature of this security camera makes it easy to install without the need for an electrical outlet.

Through the Google Home app, users can view live HD video, replay recordings, and even communicate with visitors. However, it's important to note that this camera requires a free Google Account and is not compatible with the Nest app.[1] Some features, such as mobile notifications, remote control, video streaming, and recording, necessitate a working internet and Wi-Fi connection.[2]

The Nest Cam offers up to 3 hours of video recording, and further video history can be accessed by subscribing to the Nest Aware or Nest Aware Plus service (sold separately).[3,4] This security camera is equipped with built-in intelligence, enabling it to differentiate between people, animals, and vehicles, and send alerts directly through the Google Home app without the need for a subscription.[1]

Operated by the Google Assistant, the Nest Cam connects via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and is powered by a battery. It can function in temperatures ranging from -4°F to 104°F (-20°C to 40°C). Users can check in on their home 24/7 with the 1080p HDR video and night vision capabilities, and the 3 hours of free event video history allow them to view any missed events.[1,2]

In the event of a Wi-Fi outage or power failure, the Nest Cam can store up to an hour of recorded events, ensuring that users don't miss critical information.[4] The Nest Cam Outdoor model comes with a wall plate that can be mounted on brick walls, making installation easy.

The versatility of the Nest Cam allows it to be placed anywhere, both indoors and outdoors, without the need for a nearby power outlet, thanks to its battery-powered design and magnetic mount. For continuous power and 24/7 video recording with the Nest Aware Plus subscription, users can add a weatherproof power cable or an indoor stand with a power cable (sold separately).

Additionally, the Nest Cam can be integrated with compatible smart displays, smart TVs, and tablets with Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa, enabling hands-free video streaming. However, it's important to note that the Nest Cam requires the Google Home app and a free Google Account, and is not compatible with the Nest app or website.[1,5,6]

Users can set up Activity Zones to receive phone notifications about specific areas of their home and be alerted when familiar faces arrive.[1,5] In the event of an incident, the built-in speaker and microphone allow for immediate action, and users can even call their local emergency service directly from the Google Home app (Nest Aware subscription required).[6]

Overall, the Nest Cam security camera offers a versatile and intelligent home security solution, with features that enable users to stay informed and take action from anywhere.
