Google’s new AI-powered nest cameras and doorbell might be here

Google’s Nest devices get smarter with AI

Google’s new Nest devices bring a major upgrade to home security. Featuring the power of Gemini AI, they offer smarter notifications, better image quality, and advanced features. From doorbells to cameras, every device is designed to keep you more connected and informed.

Expect clearer footage, improved low-light performance, and a wider field of view. These upgrades bring a level of detail that makes home security smarter and more efficient. With AI-driven features, your Nest devices will adapt and improve as the technology evolves.

2K HDR video, clearer than ever before

The new Nest cameras deliver 2K HDR video, offering crisper, clearer footage compared to older models. The enhanced resolution ensures that you can see finer details, such as faces and objects in your yard, with exceptional clarity.

This boost in video quality plays a vital role in AI functionality. By providing more detailed data, Gemini AI can better analyze what’s happening around your home. The result is more accurate alerts, helping you stay on top of everything from deliveries to late-night visitors.

See more with the wider field of view

Nest’s new cameras are designed to capture more of what’s happening outside your home. The Outdoor and Indoor cameras feature a 152-degree diagonal field of view, while the Doorbell boasts a 166-degree angle.

This wider perspective helps you monitor larger areas, like driveways or front yards, without missing any important details. You’ll be able to catch faces, deliveries, and packages from a broader angle, ensuring your home is always under the watchful eye of your smart devices.

Low light? No problem with improved sensors

Google’s latest Nest devices are built to perform better in low-light conditions. Thanks to a new sensor and a wider aperture, these cameras can capture more light, giving you full-color video even at dawn or dusk.

The improved sensor ensures that you don’t miss any important moments, even in dim lighting. For complete darkness, the cameras still feature infrared vision, allowing you to see what’s happening around your home at night without losing detail.

AI-driven alerts, know exactly what’s going on

With Gemini AI, your Nest devices can send more context‑aware alerts: instead of generic “motion detected,” you may be told it’s a person, a package, or your child arriving home.

These customized alerts help you take immediate action, whether it’s answering the door or simply watching a video of what’s happening. It’s all about giving you more context and clarity, so you can stay on top of things with less effort.

Zoomed-in previews for more clarity

The new Nest cameras include zoomed-in video previews to help you see exactly what triggered an alert. This feature makes it easier to identify people, cars, or packages in the video feed.

Rather than relying on a broad, unclear shot, you’ll get a focused, high-quality image. This level of detail is perfect for ensuring you don’t miss any important moments, whether it’s a visitor or a suspicious car in your driveway.

Search your video history with ease

Searching through hours of video can be a hassle. With the Ask Home feature, you can now find specific clips easily by asking simple questions like, What happened to the vase in the living room?

This feature uses AI to quickly scan through footage and pull up the most relevant clips. It’s an efficient way to track down key moments without wasting time, making it easier than ever to stay on top of your home security.

Quick summaries with home brief

Missed a few things while you were away? The Home Brief feature provides a daily summary of the past 24 hours, highlighting key events like deliveries, pets, or family members entering the house.

This digestible recap lets you catch up quickly without having to sift through hours of footage. You can even customize it to focus on specific events, like your pets’ activities or whether the kids came home on time.

Customize your view with Zoom and crop

Nest’s new cameras let you digitally zoom in on specific areas, allowing you to keep an eye on the parts of your home that matter most. Whether you’re monitoring a garden bed or a porch, zooming helps you get a closer look.

You can even crop the view to focus on one area, cutting out the rest. This feature gives you complete control over what you see in your live feed and video history, making it easier to spot anything important.

Six hours of free event video history

Google is increasing the event video history for Nest devices from three to six hours. This means that if you miss an alert, you’ll still have access to footage from the past six hours.

Each event is shown with a 10-second video clip, making it easier to understand what happened. This extension gives you more flexibility, especially if you need to check on multiple events or just want to review something quickly.

Privacy is a top priority

Your privacy is fundamental when it comes to these new devices. All video footage is encrypted by default, and you can rest easy knowing that your data is secure.

The cameras also feature a visible green light when processing or streaming video. With two-step verification and other privacy measures, Google ensures that your home security system is both safe and reliable.

Designed for durability and sustainability

The new Nest devices are designed to last, made from recycled materials for better sustainability. They also feature a reformulated resin that provides long-term UV protection, ensuring that your outdoor devices can handle the elements.

The Nest Cam Outdoor is IP65-rated, meaning it’s resistant to dust, rain, and snow. This durability ensures that your cameras will continue to perform well, no matter what the weather throws at them.

Stylish designs that fit any home

Google offers a variety of colors for its new Nest cameras, including Snow, Hazel, and a bold Berry for the Indoor Camera. These devices are designed to blend seamlessly into your home décor.

From sleek neutrals to eye-catching hues, you’ll find a camera that suits your style. Whether you want them to disappear on a shelf or stand out as a stylish addition, there’s a color option for everyone.

Affordable options with Walmart’s onn cameras

If you’re looking for budget-friendly options, Walmart’s new onn-branded cameras provide a more affordable choice. Starting at just $22.96 for the Indoor Camera, these devices still offer integration with the Google Home app.

For those on a tight budget, the onn Video Doorbell ($49.86) and Indoor Camera are perfect for keeping your home secure. Gemini’s smart features, like intelligent alerts and event history, are available with a Google Home Premium subscription.

Meet the Google Home speaker for Gemini

Alongside the Nest devices, Google has also introduced a new Google Home Speaker, built specifically for Gemini AI. It features 360° audio, providing clear sound from any direction, so you won’t miss a word.

The new speaker also includes a dynamic light ring that shows when Gemini is thinking, listening, or responding. This speaker offers a more natural and fluid interaction, taking your smart home experience to the next level.

Automate your home with Gemini AI

Google’s Gemini AI makes setting up home automations easier than ever. Instead of manually configuring routines, you can simply tell Gemini what you want, and it will suggest the best way to keep your home safe.

You can ask it to suggest or configure automations (for devices in your Google Home ecosystem), such as locking smart locks, closing blinds, or simulating occupancy when away.
