Key features
The Google Nest Cam Outdoor or Indoor Battery 2nd Generation brings flexible, wire-free security with simple installation and on-device intelligence. If you worry about missing important events, this camera helps by distinguishing people, animals, and vehicles, and sending relevant alerts to the Google Home app, so you spend less time checking false alarms and more time acting on what matters.
What matters most
This battery powered camera records 1080p HDR video with night vision according to the manufacturer, and offers three hours of free event video history. If you want extended recording, a Nest Aware subscription can expand history up to 60 days. The camera caches up to one hour of events if your Wi-Fi or power goes down, which gives you a short backup without extra equipment. The magnetic mount and included wall plate simplify placement on walls or other surfaces, and the unit works both outdoors and indoors within its operating temperature range.

Who it’s for
It’s a great fit if you want a versatile, battery powered camera that can be placed where power outlets are scarce or outdoors where cabling is impractical. You’ll appreciate it if you prioritize smart alerts over constant recording, since the camera focuses on identifying people, animals, and vehicles and sends targeted notifications. If you prefer always-on 24/7 footage without relying on a subscription, consider adding a weatherproof power cable or an indoor stand with power cable sold separately for continuous power and 24/7 recording with Nest Aware Plus.
