The Google Nest Cam (Outdoor or Indoor, Battery, 2nd Gen) is a compact, battery-powered smart camera that works as a standalone security device or doorbell accessory. It captures 1080p video with a 130-degree field of view and includes night vision. Recording requires a Google One subscription ($12–120/year depending on tier) for cloud storage and intelligent alerts. The camera features on-device person detection and integrates seamlessly with Google Home and Nest ecosystems. It supports two-way audio, is weather-resistant (IP54), and works on 2.4/5GHz Wi-Fi. The 2-pack format is better for whole-home or multi-location setups than single units, but this listing is a 6-pack at ~$127.50 per unit. Key limitation: unlike Eufy's local-storage doorbells or Wyze's free cloud tier, all meaningful recording and smart features are locked behind a subscription. Works best for Google Home users already embedded in the ecosystem.
