Google Nest Cam Outdoor (Wired, 2nd Gen)

The Google Nest Cam Outdoor (2nd Gen, Wired) is a hardwired 2K video doorbell with Google Assistant integration and on-device person and package detection. It requires a Nest Aware subscription ($12/month or $120/year) for cloud recording and intelligent alerts, though it offers 24-hour event history at no cost. The camera delivers sharp day and night video with a standard field of view, two-way audio, and works seamlessly with Google Home and Alexa. Built for Google Home ecosystem users, it sits in the mid-premium segment. Weather-resistant (IP64) and reliable on 2.4/5GHz Wi-Fi, it's a solid choice for those committed to Google services but carries the subscription cost that rivals like Eufy eliminate via local storage.
