The new Nest Cam Outdoor offers Google’s highest resolution yet, with crisp and clear daytime footage.2 To ensure richly detailed color footage even at night, the hardwired outdoor security camera also has enhanced night vision and low-light performance. An ultrawide and tall 152-degree diagonal field of view lets you see more in every frame. Whether you’re checking the driveway or scanning your side yard, you’ll be able to see more of the details that matter.
Designed for durability, Nest Cam Outdoor is made from weather-resistant materials that stand up to the elements. Its wired connection ensures a consistent, 24/7 power supply with no need to recharge or replace batteries. As long as you subscribe to Google Home Premium, you’ll have the peace of mind of continuous video recording as well. And in case of a Wi-Fi outage, you’ll get one hour of local backup storage, so you won’t miss important moments – just one more reason it’s the best wired outdoor security camera system for your home.
The new Nest Cam doesn’t just perform well – it looks good doing it. Made with recycled materials, the camera is available in a range of subtle colors to blend in with your home’s exterior. Access your Nest Cam Outdoor’s live feed across your Google TV Streamer, Pixel Tablet, Nest displays, and more.5
Security starts with trust, and Nest Cam is designed with privacy and user control at its core to give you confidence in how your footage is stored, accessed, and shared. Two-step verification ensures that your account is secure, and an LED status light will always let you know when the camera is recording.
It’s not just about catching things in the moment. Three hours of event video previews with 10-second clips are already included with your wired outdoor security camera system. When paired with a Google Home Premium subscription, the new Nest Cam Outdoor also gives you intelligent playback. With the Advanced plan of Google Home Premium, you’ll be able to type in a question and find the answer in easily scannable event summaries without all that footage, such as:
“A rabbit was seen digging in your raised garden bed at 5:45 a.m.”
“At 10:45 am, the recycling bin was rolled away.”
This kind of detail helps you respond constructively – whether that means rabbit-proofing your garden or telling your neighbor there’s been a mix-up.
Or maybe you need to find something from last month. A Google Home Premium subscription unlocks up to 60 days of event-based history and 10 days of 24/7 continuous video recording, making it easy to search your camera history and get detailed AI-powered summaries. You can also get event descriptions sent as notifications on your phone, in your activity feed, or emailed as a daily summary. Explore the benefits of Google Home Premium Advanced for 30 days with the purchase of Nest Camera Outdoor.
Your home is where life happens. Knowing that your camera is keeping an intelligent eye on the outside, day and night, lets you focus on what’s important inside.
