Google Nest Cam (Outdoor or Indoor, Battery) review
Existing Google Home households who value ecosystem integration over storage flexibility or a higher ingress-protection rating.
By Tom Calder
Fits neatly into a Google Home set-up and the 6000mAh battery is among the largest capacities here, but only 3 hours of free event video history is included — continuous recording and a 60-day history both require a Nest Aware subscription. Its IP54 rating is also the lowest of the outdoor-capable cameras in this comparison, worth checking against your installation spot.
