Google has introduced a new lineup of home devices built around its Gemini AI platform. The new products include upgraded Nest Cams, a Nest Doorbell, and the first Google Home Speaker made specifically for Gemini.

Nest Cams and Doorbell

The new wired devices are Nest Cam Indoor (3rd gen), Nest Cam Outdoor (2nd gen), and Nest Doorbell (3rd gen). All three feature 2K HDR video, the highest resolution Google has offered, for sharper images. Third-party testing from DXOMARK ranked all three cameras first in their class for image quality.

The Nest Cams have a 152-degree diagonal field of view, while the Nest Doorbell offers a 166-degree diagonal view. Low-light performance has improved thanks to a new sensor and wider aperture, keeping full-color video longer at dawn and dusk. Infrared night vision is included for recording in total darkness.

Gemini AI brings smarter alerts and features. You can get detailed notifications, such as “dog jumps out of playpen,” and see zoomed-in previews of events. Ask Home lets you search your video history with questions like, “What happened to the vase in the living room?” Home Brief creates short summaries of hours of footage. Cameras can identify people, vehicles, animals, and packages. Video history has doubled from three to six hours, and digital zoom and cropping help focus on what matters.

Privacy, Design, and Sustainability

All cameras encrypt video by default, support two-step verification, and have a green LED to show when they are recording. Nest Cam Outdoor and Doorbell use recycled materials with UV protection and no paint. Outdoor cameras and the doorbell are IP65-rated. Indoor cameras come in Snow, Hazel, and Berry. Outdoor cameras are available in Snow and Hazel. Doorbell colors are Snow, Hazel, and Linen.

Availability and Pricing

Nest Cam Indoor costs $99.99. Nest Cam Outdoor is $149.99 or $249.99 for a two-pack. Nest Doorbell is $179.99. They are available October 1 in the U.S., Canada, Australia, Japan, the U.K., Ireland, and parts of Europe. Gemini features roll out first in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Ireland, and Australia, with other regions in early 2026.

In other news, Ring has launched a new lineup of security devices featuring 2K and 4K cameras and doorbells with AI-powered features. The Retinal 4K Vision is available on models including the Wired Doorbell Pro, Spotlight Cam Pro, Floodlight Cam Pro, Outdoor Cam Pro, and PoE versions, offering 10x zoom, better low-light performance, and AI-enhanced video. Retinal 2K Vision is added to the Indoor Cam Plus and Wired Doorbell Plus for improved clarity.

The post Google Rolls Out Smarter Nest Cams and Doorbell with Gemini AI Features appeared first on Gizmochina.

A few weeks ago, Google had announced its new Nest Cam lineup. Out of the four devices that the company had unveiled, the Nest Cam battery and the Nest Doorbell went on sale in August. Now, the tech giant is launching the remaining two products — Nest Cam wired and the Nest Cam with floodlight.

The Google Nest Cam wired is the budget offering from the company and is much smaller in size when compared to the indoor/outdoor Nest Cam. It has a 16:9 aspect ratio and comes with support for 1080p video at up to 30fps. The device also has a 135-degree field of view and 6x digital zoom.

The product comes in four color options — White, Pink, Beige, and Green, for the price of $99. There’s also a pink-hue model also comes with a wooden base, which comes at slightly higher pricing of $119.

On the other hand, the Google Nest Cam with floodlight is similar to the indoor/outdoor Nest Cam but comes attached with a 2,400-lumen floodlight. It records video through a 1/2.8-inch 2-megapixel sensor with 130-degree field-of-view and 6x digital zoom support.

It requires permanent power and has to be wired into the home’s wiring through a standard outdoor junction box. The floodlight is rated IP65 for weatherproofing and the camera itself is IP54. The device is on sale through Google Store for $279.99.

The product uses on-device intelligence to detect people, animals, and vehicles rather than just relying on a motion sensor. This means that you’re not illuminating the area through the light when something not-so-important happens.

Additionally, the new Nest cameras come with built-in intelligence and on-device processing, which means that there is now less reliance on the cloud. Google also allows users to create Activity Zones for free and get three hours of event-based video.

The user will be able to record up to an hour of footage if the internet connection breaks up or the power goes out. For more than three hours of recording, or to enable 24/7 recording, users will need to purchase a Nest Aware subscription, starting at $6 a month.
