ToggleSmart Alerts
Nest Cam is a great option for those looking for an intelligent and easy-to-use security camera. One of the standout features is its built-in intelligence, which allows it to distinguish between people, animals, and vehicles. This means you won’t receive unnecessary alerts for things like passing cars or rustling leaves.
Subscription
You can easily check in on your Nest Cam from anywhere using the Google Home app, which doesn’t require any subscription. The camera records 1080p HDR video with night vision, and even offers 3 hours of free event video history. If you want to store more video history, you can add a Nest Aware subscription (sold separately) for up to 60 days of video history.
Record without wifi
The Nest Cam can even store up to an hour of recorded events if your Wi-Fi goes down or there’s a power outage, so you can still see what you missed. It’s also versatile enough to be placed anywhere, inside or outside, as it’s battery powered and comes with a magnetic mount for easy installation.
Weather Resistant
For continuous power and 24/7 video recording with Nest Aware Plus, you can add a weatherproof power cable or indoor stand with power cable (both sold separately).
Compatibility with Smart Devices
The Nest Cam is also compatible with both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, allowing you to stream your live video feed hands-free on compatible smart displays, smart TVs, and tablets.
Smart Alerts & Two Way communication
The Nest Cam offers several other features, such as Activity Zones, which allow you to receive phone notifications about specific areas of your home, and the ability to talk and listen with the built-in speaker and mic on the camera or even call your local emergency service directly from the Google Home app (Nest Aware subscription required).
Not Compatible with NEST APP
Just keep in mind that the Nest Cam requires the Google Home app and a free Google Account, and is not compatible with the Nest app or the Nest site. Overall, the Nest Cam is a smart and reliable security camera that can provide you with peace of mind at home.
