Our Review
The Google Nest Cam Battery is the camera for Google Home households. Intelligent alerts distinguish between people, animals, and vehicles without a subscription. Three hours of free cloud event storage means you get basic recording without paying monthly. The magnetic mount attaches anywhere, and the weatherproof design works indoors or out. The Google Home app provides a unified view of all your Nest devices. The camera is also the only option that works with Google's Family Bell and household routines. HDR video quality is good but not the sharpest at 1080p.
