01
Which entrance do you want to see?
Choose this model for a fixed outdoor viewpoint beyond the doorstep. A doorbell centres on callers at the door; a battery camera offers more freedom where a power cable is awkward.

Google Nest Cam Outdoor (Wired, 2nd Gen)
See your carer arrive and check the entrance.
When someone is coming to look after your dog, a view of the gate or driveway helps you check their arrival. This wired 2K outdoor Nest Cam provides a permanent outdoor view without a battery-charging routine. Plan suitable power and Wi-Fi for its position.

GATES, ENTRANCES & CARER ARRIVALS
Keep an eye on gates and entrances, wherever you are.
An outdoor camera earns its place when you can see the approach to the door or gate clearly. Think about where a visitor stops, where a carer enters and whether the view remains useful after dark. Check the power route and Wi-Fi at that position before committing to installation.

WHAT TO CHECK FIRST
Four things to check before choosing an outdoor camera
02
Can power and Wi-Fi reach the camera?
Plan the cable route and check Wi-Fi coverage at the mounting point before installation.
03
Want to know when someone arrives?
Turn on person notifications and set an Activity Zone around the gate or entrance to focus alerts on arrivals in that area.
04
Do you want to look back at visits?
Use live view for a check-in now, event history for detected activity, or a compatible continuous-history plan when you need to review gaps between events.
FIT, USE & SAFETY
