Google just released a new Nest Cam Indoor (third-generation), and it includes a few highly-requested features: 2K video recording and AI-based camera detection. I've been eying an smart home camera upgrade to go with my Nest Doorbell, and the third-gen Nest Cam Indoor checks all my boxes — and it's on sale for Black Friday. This camera only came out last month, and it's already $25 off for Black Friday, bringing the Nest Cam Indoor down to only $75.
It's such a good deal that I'm buying more than one Nest Cam Indoor at this price. If you're deep in the Google ecosystem with Pixel or Nest devices, the Nest Cam Indoor is a great way to expand your smart home while improving security. Here's why Google's best indoor security camera is a can't-miss deal at 25% off.
✅Recommended if: you need a Google-connected, in-home security camera; you want Gemini for Home camera and motion detection; you want hi-res video feeds and 24/7 recording.
❌Skip this deal if: you don't want to pay for a subscription for advanced features; you need a camera with end-to-end encryption.
Why I'm buying a bunch of Google's Nest Cam Indoor security cameras
There's one thing I absolutely love about Google's Nest Cam Indoor, and it's the security camera's design. For an indoor camera, it's important that the design feels homey and blends into your kitchen, living room, or bedroom. Google gets this right with the Nest Cam Indoor — it's unassuming and blends in with Snow (white), Hazel (gray), and Berry (red). I went with the Berry model, as it'll look more like an accent piece than a scary security system in my home.
Then, you have the upgraded hardware. Nest Cameras formerly had a 1080p video-resolution limit, which paled in comparison to the swath of 2K and 4K models on the market. Now, the Nest Cam Indoor (3rd-gen) has a 2K resolution (2560x1440) and a 152-degree field of view.
There's also 6x digital zoom support for when you need to crop in close. You also get 30 FPS video recording and HDR2 support, ensuring your security footage is always crisp. And, a night vision feature means you can see clearly inside your home, even when it's dark.
Some might view the internet-connected nature and subscription model of Google's Nest cameras as a drawback, but I look at it as a feature. You can always pop in and look at your Nest Cam Indoor feed from anywhere using the Google Home app, completely free. Up to six hours of event recording is included, too. With a Google Home Standard or Premium subscription, you can get up to 24/7 video recording, plus Gemini descriptions and object detection.
Overall, Google added everything you might want to the Nest Cam Indoor (3rd-gen). If you're looking to build out your Google ecosystem and home security setup this Black Friday, there's no better buy.
