Google's latest Nest Cam Indoor (3rd gen, wired) has switched from USB-A to USB-C for its power connection, aligning with the trend of adopting USB-C across tech devices for simplicity and compatibility, although other Nest Cam models still use different connection types.
Google's new Nest Cam lineup includes wired models with 2K recording, but battery-powered models haven't been upgraded to 2K due to the focus on Gemini AI features, which require cameras to be constantly on. Google may revisit battery-powered cameras in the future, but for now, wired models are prioritized for enhanced AI capabilities.
Early in-store appearances of the new '2K' Nest Cam and Doorbell with 'Gemini' badge suggest they will be officially announced around October 1, featuring updated packaging, new colors, and minor design changes, with availability expected soon.
Google accidentally leaked its upcoming Nest smart home products, including new versions of the Nest Cam Indoor, Outdoor, and Doorbell, which are expected to feature 2K video and new colors, ahead of their official launch next month.

Google has enabled the management of all Nest Cam models, including the Nest Cam IQ indoor and outdoor cameras, through the Google Home app via a public preview. This integration allows users to review video history, access camera settings, and set up automations without switching between the Nest and Google Home apps. Users can join the public preview to transfer their cameras, with the option to reverse the transfer for Nest Cam IQ models. The update also includes management of Nest Hub Max devices, although these cannot be transferred back to the Nest app.
Google is finally bringing all Nest Cam features to its Google Home web portal, allowing users to view and download recorded clips, scroll through event timelines, and create custom clips with a Nest Aware subscription. This move consolidates the functionality of Nest cameras onto Google's platform, eliminating the need to switch between multiple apps and web portals. The update also includes picture-in-picture viewing and enhanced clip-making options, marking a significant step towards phasing out the Nest app.
