Upgrade to Google Home Premium for enhanced smart security.

Google Home Premium is a subscription service that helps you get more out of your Nest Cam.

Scroll less. Find more.

Search your video history in the Google Home app with help from Gemini with an Advanced subscription to Google Home Premium. Search something like “Who let the dogs out?” and get an event description and the relevant video clips.

Get the fuller picture behind every alert.

Your Nest Cam can know even more about what’s happening with detailed notifications with an Advanced plan of Google Home Premium. Plus, get daily summaries of what happened at home so you never miss a thing.

Create easy home automations.

With a Google Home Premium subscription, automations are easier to set up thanks to Help me create with Gemini. Just type what you want to do in the Google Home app, like 'Lock the doors and turn off the lights at bedtime.' Or choose from preset automation ideas.,
