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 · Updated 24 July 2026 · Price checked against our tracker
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.
£89.00 as listed by a major UK retailer on the same day (Jul 2026); treat this as approximate, as the live Amazon.co.uk price couldn't be independently confirmed at time of writing.
