"The Nest Cam Indoor (Wired, 3rd Gen) and Outdoor (Wired, 2nd Gen) may not look new (apart from the Berry red indoor model), but they finally make the jump to 2K resolution, empowering a new level of AI insight, more accurate detection, and better animated notifications."
"The new Nest Cam Indoor and Nest Cam Outdoor boast the easiest setup experience I've encountered. Simply plug them in (the Nest Cam Indoor comes with a 10-foot USB-C cable, the Nest Cam Outdoor has an 18-foot weatherproof cable), scan the QR code sticker on the front of each camera with the Google Home app, connect to Wi-Fi, and you're up and running in no time (both support 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz bands). The elegant magnetic mount for the Nest Cam Outdoor needs a couple of screws, while my Nest Cam Indoor is perched neatly on a shelf."

The Nest Cam Indoor (Wired, 3rd Gen) and Nest Cam Outdoor (Wired, 2nd Gen) upgrade to 2K (2560 x 1400) resolution with a 152-degree diagonal field of view and 6X digital zoom. Both cameras offer easier setup via QR code and Wi‑Fi support (2.4‑GHz and 5‑GHz), USB‑C and weatherproof cables, and a magnetic outdoor mount. HDR and higher frame rates remain supported. Gemini AI adds more accurate detection and animated notifications, but the most advanced Gemini-powered features require a costly subscription. The hardware and Google Home app improvements together deliver a noticeable quality leap.
