Google Nest Cam Outdoor or Indoor, Battery - 2nd Generation

The Nest Cam is a wire-free, weather-resistant security camera that can be placed almost anywhere, both indoors and outdoors. With intelligent alerts, you can receive notifications about important events at home and take action directly from the Google Home app. [1] Setting up the camera is easy, as it requires no outlet - just install it yourself. You can view live HD video, replay recordings, and communicate with visitors, all through the Google Home app. However, this camera is not compatible with the Nest app and requires a free Google account.

Some key features of the Nest Cam include: [1] mobile notifications, remote control, video streaming, and video recording, all of which require a working internet and Wi-Fi connection. [2] The camera provides up to 3 hours of free video recording, and users can subscribe to Nest Aware or Nest Aware Plus for extended video history. [3,4] The built-in intelligence of the Nest Cam allows it to differentiate between people, animals, and vehicles, and send alerts accordingly through the Google Home app, without the need for a subscription.

Powered by a battery, the Nest Cam can be placed anywhere, without the need for an outlet. The magnetic mount makes installation effortless. For continuous power and 24/7 video recording with Nest Aware Plus, users can purchase a weatherproof power cable or an indoor stand with a power cable. [4] The camera's live video feed can be streamed hands-free on compatible smart displays with Google Assistant, as well as on Amazon Alexa-enabled smart displays, TVs, and tablets.

To set up the Nest Cam, users need the Google Home app and a free Google account, as it is not compatible with the Nest app or website. Activity Zones can be configured to receive phone notifications about specific areas of the home, and familiar faces can be recognized. [1,5] In case of an emergency, users can take immediate action, such as talking and listening through the camera's built-in speaker and microphone, or calling their local emergency service directly from the Google Home app (with a Nest Aware subscription).[6]

The Nest Cam is equipped with 6 high-power 850 nm infrared LEDs, providing up to 6.10 m (20 ft) of illumination for night vision. Overall, the Nest Cam offers a versatile and feature-rich home security solution, with the flexibility to be placed almost anywhere, both indoors and outdoors.
