Whether it’s a quick-mount indoor camera or a weather-resistant model for outside, the new Nest Cams are thoughtfully designed to fit your home security needs.

Feel secure in every corner

Imagine drifting off to sleep when you hear a rustling noise in the kitchen. Without even getting out of bed, you reach for your phone. And thanks to your Nest indoor camera’s 2K HDR video and night vision, you can see that your dog got out of its crate. With improved low-light performance and an ultra-wide, ultra-tall 152-degree field of view, you won’t miss a thing.

Or maybe there’s a thunderstorm while you’re away from home. You can check to see that you’ve remembered to put the patio furniture covers back on, thanks to clear views from the high-resolution, wide-angle coverage of your weather-resistant Nest outdoor camera.

Below the video is an event log showing notifications like ‘Person walks towards table’ and ‘Person places item on table,’ each with a timestamp, duration, and a thumbnail image of the event.

Know who’s coming and going

When you’re out of town, the details matter. Know exactly who’s popping by thanks to the intelligence of Google Home. Google Home Premium with Gemini unlocks more home security features, like familiar face alerts, to help you confirm whether the activity in the entryway is the pet sitter checking on the dogs or your sister bringing in your packages.

And if you’re snowbirding at the beach during the cold months, your Nest Cam Outdoor keeps the details clear. Avoid false alarms from passing snowplows with built-in intelligent alerts that distinguish people, vehicles, and animals. You can even double-check that you remembered to close everything on the way out with garage door detection, available with a Standard plan for Google Home Premium.

Not sure which camera setup is right for you? A quick Google Nest camera comparison can help you find the perfect fit for your space – inside or outside.

Get only the alerts you need

Home security isn’t one-size-fits-all. You need coverage and alerts that fit your needs. Maybe you’re balancing a multi-generational household. Support your nonna’s safety and independence while also keeping an eye on your toddler using Activity Zones with your Nest Cam Indoor. You’ll know if the movement by the front door is your grandmother stepping out for her morning walk, or your curious child also wanting to venture out.

A close-up of a smartphone screen displaying a conversation with an AI assistant. The user asks in a blue chat bubble: 'Did something eat my plants?' The AI assistant responds below with a text summary: 'Yes, rabbits ate plants on September 29 and 28. On September 29, two rabbits were seen eating colorful plants in the garden multiple times. One brown and gray rabbit was also seen in the garden on September 28.' Below the summary, under the date 'Mon, Sep 29,' is an event notification from a camera feed. It reads, 'Rabbits nibble plants, 2:10 PM • Garden Bed,' and includes a small thumbnail image of a rabbit among green plants.

Want to revisit a specific activity your camera captured using the Google Home app? Quickly search up to 30 days of event video history by typing with natural language. Just say, “Who opened the front door?” With the Advanced plan of Google Home Premium, you’ll be able to search 60 days of history.

Say you run a salon out of your home and want to stay in the loop on client arrivals and deliveries. When you use Activity Zones, you’ll know whether the movement at your side door is a customer who’s early or a food order you don’t want to leave out in the rain with your Nest Cam Outdoor.

Can the Nest indoor cam be used outside?

Nest Cam Indoor isn’t built for rain, snow, wind, or extreme temperatures. Get reliable protection in any weather with the new wired Nest Cam Outdoor. Enjoy the same upgraded features as the indoor option, but in a model made to handle the elements.

Discover even smarter monitoring when you pair either the new Nest Cam Indoor or Nest Cam Outdoor with a Google Home Premium subscription. Your device will use the intelligence of Google Home to understand what you care about while proactively keeping you informed. Explore additional features with a trial month of Google Home Premium when you add one of the latest Nest Cams or the Nest Doorbell to your home setup.

Make routines happen, without the effort

Whether you need a quick-mount indoor camera, a weather-resistant model for outside, or both, the new wired Nest Cams are thoughtfully designed to fit into your home security needs – and your personal aesthetic.

Choose from a range of subtle colors that blend style with function, making this generation of cameras the perfect addition to any smart home. Plus, thoughtful features like theft replacement and a discreet status light ring offer extra peace of mind.

No matter where you place your camera, you’ll get the reliability of wired, always-on 24/7 video recording and the clarity of real-time alerts. More detailed notifications and event descriptions give you helpful context the moment something happens, while daily summaries provide a recap of recorded events so you won’t miss a thing at home. See what you missed with built-in intelligent alerts. If you miss an alert, check out event video previews with 10-second clips of each event that happened over the past 6 hours.

With the same thoughtful upgrades built into the indoor and outdoor cameras, each Nest Cam makes it easier to protect what matters most to you.
