Google Nest Cam Black Friday and Cyber Monday Deals

If you’re looking for the highest-quality home security cameras, look no further than Google Nest, known for offering some of the most advanced home security and smart home products. Some of its best-selling products are from its lineup of security cameras and video doorbells.

But do you know what’s better than getting high-quality security cameras to protect your home? Getting them at a discount. For that, check out Google Nest’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, which falls on November 28 and December 1 this year. Previous Black Friday sales have seen savings of up to $120. Let’s take a look back at Black Friday 2024 to get an idea of what you can expect from Nest this year.

Google Nest Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2024

When Nest Cams first hit the market sometime in 2014, they were considered premium cameras not only because of their features but also because of their price. They were expensive. Fortunately, that’s no longer the case today. Google Nest has consolidated its lineup and – and here’s our favorite part – made their cameras more affordable than ever.

That said, they’re still somewhere in the higher end of the spectrum in terms of pricing. We’ll break down Nest Cam’s pricing in a bit, but for now, let’s look at last year’s Black Friday sales.

These savings never last long. This year, Cyber Monday wraps up on December 1. We recommend adding items to your cart now so you’re ready when Black Friday starts on November 28.

Typical Pricing for Nest Cameras

You know how some supermarkets put discounted price tags on items that are supposedly on sale, but when you peel the tag, you see that the “discounted” price is actually the same as the regular price? Some brands do that too, especially on online marketplaces. So if you’re looking to buy products that are on sale, it pays to know how much they typically cost.

You can learn more about Nest’s current camera lineup by reading our Nest camera review, but here’s a quick breakdown of their prices.

Other Nest Products

Now, cameras aren’t the only devices that Nest sells; it sells video doorbells, smart thermostats, smart speakers and displays with Google Assistant built-in, and Nest Protect, a smoke and CO alarm.

Nest Camera Comparison

Google Nest offers multiple Nest Cams. There’s the battery-powered, indoor or outdoor Nest Cam, the wired indoor Nest Cam, the wired outdoor Nest Cam, and the floodlight-equipped Nest Cam. These cameras have the same basic features, which include:

• HD resolution: The new wired indoor Nest Cam and wired outdoor Nest Cam offer 2K resolution. Most of the other Nest Cam options come with 1080p HD resolution. This is the current standard we expect to see from security cameras.

• HDR: HDR stands for High Dynamic Range, and it basically means that outdoor footage looks more like real life, with less shadow and glare.
• Infrared night vision: While color night vision typically stems from a spotlight, infrared night vision is in black and white and stems from infrared LED sensors.
• Two-way audio: Two-way audio means that the cameras have speakers and microphones so that you can speak to whoever’s in front of the camera through the Nest app.
• Motion, person, vehicle, and animal detection: All Nest Cams can detect movement, but they can distinguish people, vehicles, and animals, as well, and alert you accordingly.

• Facial recognition: Facial recognition means that if the camera sees the same person multiple times, they will note that and allow the user to name them in the app, resulting in more specific notifications. This feature is available if you have a Nest Aware subscription.
• Cloud storage: All Nest Cams are capable of cloud recording via a Google Home Premium subscription. Nest Aware costs $10 a month or $100 a year for 30 days of alert history, or $20 a month or $200 a year for 60 days of alert history and 10 days of continuous recording.
• Local storage when Wi-Fi is out: One weakness of cloud-reliant cameras is that they need Wi-Fi to store videos. Nest Cam’s solution is limited local storage that can store up to one hour of event history when Wi-Fi is out.

Given their similar features, the choice, then, depends on how you plan to utilize your cameras. If you need versatile cameras that you can move around, the Nest Cam (outdoor or indoor, battery) is the perfect choice. If you need a basic indoor camera, the Nest Cam (indoor, wired) is for you. And if you need enhanced outdoor security, the Nest Cam with Floodlight is a great option.
