Home sweet – and safe – home.

As a consultant for security companies, David Schwartz understands the importance of feeling safe in your home. And when Schwartz moved into his own new home near Morristown, New Jersey, a few years ago, his first priority was to set up a smart home security system that would keep his family safe. “I wanted to have predictability – to know who was coming to my door or when I got a package,” Schwartz said.

Schwartz secured his home using Google Nest’s smart home ecosystem, which lets him keep an eye on his property at all times – and from anywhere in the world – using the Google Home app.¹ A high-resolution, weather-resistant door camera on the new Nest Doorbell lets him see when a package is dropped off, and even respond to visitors remotely.^1,2 With Nest’s tallest, widest field of view yet, the new generation of Nest Cams and Doorbells shows him the full picture of his kids playing out in the yard. And he can quickly find footage, devices, and settings in the search bar in the Google Home app.

Schwartz also appreciates how Nest’s security products can work together to help him stay more aware with less effort. By pairing his Nest devices with a Google Home Premium subscription, he can view and even search weeks of video recordings from his Nest Cam and Nest Doorbell, all in the Google Home app.^1,3

Nest Cams and Nest Doorbells work together to form a smart security system that gives you a view of your home, inside and out. When they’re connected to a Nest Hub, you can see it all on the display, and navigate between cameras using your voice.^1,7

Right out of the box, the new Nest Cam and Nest Doorbell provide intelligent security. Both are equipped with 2K HDR video for a crisp, clear picture, plus Zoom & Crop for a closer look at a specific area.^1,8 Each device can also tell the difference between people, animals, and vehicles. And even if you miss a real-time alert, you’ll have six hours of event video previews and clips, each up to 10 seconds long, that let you see what happened while you were away.¹

Level up your security capabilities with Google Home Premium. A Standard plan will unlock smart alerts that let you know who’s at your door, notifications with zoomed-in previews, and 30 days of event video history.^1,4 Make sure you don’t forget to lock up with “Help me create,” which lets you build security-enhancing automations in seconds, whether it’s setting the doors to lock at 10 PM nightly or the garage light to turn on automatically at sunset every night - you don’t need your phone.³

For even more peace of mind, an Advanced plan lets you search through 60 days of event video history and 10 days of 24/7 continuous video recording.¹ You’ll also see more detailed descriptions of events in your activity feed, like “A person opened the door and two dogs ran outside.” And you can tap to see a longer summary of what happened.⁶

Worried about pets at home alone? Nest Cams come in both indoor and outdoor models, so you can always know where they are.

With a Google Home Premium subscription, you can configure the Nest Doorbell to recognize the dog walker’s face and announce their name on your speaker or display with the Familiar Faces feature.^1,4 And when you have a Nest x Yale Lock installed, you can lock or unlock the door remotely.¹⁰ Or give them a custom code and never worry about giving out a key to your home again.

Want additional insight into what’s happening around your home? The Advanced plan of Google Home Premium lets you efficiently search your video history with simple commands, like “When did the garage door open yesterday?” See a complete snapshot of daily activity with detailed event summaries.⁶

With the Google Home app, you can set up smart home security automations – like turning the porch lights on at sunset, and locking the front door at 10 PM nightly.^3,5 If you want it to look like someone is at home while you’re gone, create an automation that turns on your lights when you’ve left the house.⁵

Google Home automations are compatible with your favorite Nest and Matter-enabled products, plus over 80,000 Works with Google Home devices.

Whether you’re at home all day or away on vacation, Google’s smart home security devices make your home a safer place.
