  • 1080p HD

    Most cameras are grainy, choppy and use a lot of Wi-Fi bandwidth. Nest Cam streams smoothly in full 1080p HD without overloading your internet connection. Learn more >

  • 130° wide-angle view

    Basic cameras don’t let you see much, but Nest Cam gives you a 130° view of the entire room.

  • Night Vision

    Nest Cam’s eight infrared LEDs help you to see the whole room at night, unlike some basic cameras that give you a limited spotlight view. And because our sensors know the difference between a torch and sunlight, Night Vision won’t turn off every time a bright light passes in front of the camera. Learn more >
