Upgraded camera experiences

Major upgrades for more peace of mind.

It's now even easier to keep an eye on home, wherever you are. Use familiar Youtube-style gestures in your camera feed, like swiping up and down to expand or change camera views, to get to what you're looking for faster. Zoom in and crop the view on compatible cameras and doorbells to stay focused on one important spot. And with Google Home Premium, see what happened at a glance with animated, zoomed-in previews in event notifications for compatible devices.

Continued improvements

We’ve taken your feedback to heart

Improvements to the Home app help it run more smoothly and reliably than ever. Load times are shorter, camera feeds are snappier, and managing your devices – including older Nest thermostats and smoke/CO detectors – is smoother than ever.

Supercharge your smart home with Google Home Premium

A smart home that can follow commands is good. But a smart home that understands what you need is even better. That’s where Google Home Premium comes in.

More intelligent security

Security that understands what it sees

With Gemini, your Nest Cams and Nest Doorbell understand more. Instead of a generic “person detected” alert, your camera can now tell you it saw “Sergei walking with a dog.” And Home Brief gives you a summary of recorded events in a daily recap, so you don’t miss a thing at home.
