The Best Google Nest Prime Day Deals: Save on Smart Cams, Thermostats, More

Though Prime Day focuses a lot on discounts for Amazon’s own smart home products, Google’s Nest lineup of thermostats, security cameras, and more are also on sale this week.

Google Nest Thermostats can help you save money on your electricity bill by learning your heating/cooling habits and suggesting a schedule. And temperatures can be adjusted from anywhere thanks to the Google Home app.

Indoor and outdoor Nest Cams as well as Nest Doorbells can show you a live feed of what goes on around your home, providing a sense of peace or helping to catch porch pirates.

When it comes to keeping these devices connected, the Nest Wifi mesh Wi-Fi system blankets your home in fast and reliable Wi-Fi, extending the reach of a traditional router.

Which one do you need for your home? Below is a list of some of the devices we’ve seen et gsignificant price cuts. Not yet a Prime member? Amazon offers a 30-day trial for new members.

The Best Prime Day 2022 Google Nest Deals

Google Nest Doorbell (Wireless, Battery-Powered)

The easy-to-install, battery-powered Google Nest Doorbell is on sale in four colors: Linen, Snow, Ash, and Ivy (i.e. Beige, White, Gray, and Green.) Once up and running, the Nest can keep tabs on your front door 24/7 with a continuous video feed. Nest will also use facial recognition to detect people, packages, or animals and send you an alert through the Google Home app. Through the app, you can also enable two-way communication, allowing you to talk and listen through the doorbell even if you’re away. The downside: To view videos more than three hours old, you’ll need to buy a Nest Aware plan for $8/month or $80/year.

  $179.63

Google Nest Doorbell (Wired)

This one has almost the same features as the wireless version, but it works with the Nest app—not Google Home—and you’ll need a bit more setup time to get the wiring correct. It comes with detailed, illustrated instructions that aren’t too difficult to follow (we walk through them our review.) Then, you’re off to the races. When someone rings the bell, a chime sounds inside of your house (you need an existing chime box) and a notification is sent to your phone. The app will display a full-screen live view from the camera with buttons for Talk, Ignore, and Responses, such as, “We’ll be right there.”

Google Nest Cam (Indoor, Wired)

These cameras are mounted inside your home and provide a 24/7 feed and send notifications via the Google Home app when they detect motion. Like the Google Nest Doorbells, it will require a Nest Aware plan to view video recordings from more than three hours ago. It has excellent video quality and a sleek, modern design that would look good in any home. This Prime Day, the Google Nest Cam (Indoor, Wired) is on sale in three colors: Linen, Snow, and Fog.

Google Nest Cam Battery (2nd Generation)

This versatile camera can go inside or outside, and it’s battery-powered so you have no messy wires limiting its location. It has all the same features as the indoor-only version, including requiring a Nest Aware plan to see older footage. This Prime Day, the 2-Pack is also on sale for $239.99 (27% off).

Google Nest Cam With Floodlight Outdoor Camera

The big kahuna of all Google Nest Cams, this three-headed mount has two floodlights on either side of a central Google Nest camera. If you’re already planning to install a floodlight, or you think you need one to enhance camera quality, this is the way to go. It has the same features as the other Google Nest Cams on sale this Prime Day, including working with the Google Home app. For Google-centric homes, having all camera feeds in one app will help you easily monitor activity in and around your home.
