Google revolutionises smart homes with its 2025 lineup, powered by the Gemini for Home AI assistant. The new devices include the Nest Cam Indoor (3rd generation), Nest Cam Outdoor (2nd generation), Nest Doorbell (3rd generation), and Google Home Speaker. These offer advanced features like 2K HDR video, intelligent alerts, and seamless interactions. Consequently, they enhance security and user experience.
The Gemini AI transforms how these devices operate. For example, the Nest Cam Indoor, Outdoor, and Doorbell deliver precise alerts like “dog jumps out of playpen.” Users can ask questions such as, “What happened to the vase?” Gemini then provides event details and video clips, simplifying home monitoring.
Moreover, the cameras record in 2K HDR with a 166-degree view. They support digital zoom and cropped views for focused monitoring. Alerts include animated previews to quickly pinpoint events. Privacy stays strong with encrypted video, two-step Google account verification, and a green LED signalling active recording. Additionally, the Nest Cam Outdoor and Doorbell are IP65-rated, which means they resist dust and light water sprays.
Welcome to the Gemini era of Google Home, powered by our most capable AI yet. Today we’re introducing:
