Google now lets you manage all your old Nest Cams from the Home app

Google now lets you manage Nest Cam IQ indoor and outdoor cameras – both released in 2017 – in public preview in the Google Home app, meaning you can now manage all Nest cameras from 2015 right from the Home app in turn. for the Nest app.

Google has been slow to bring Nest Home cameras over the past year and it has changed. When you transfer your Nest Cam IQ cameras to your home, you’ll be able to “review video history in event and timeline views, access camera settings, and more without switching between the Nest and Google Home apps,” Google says. From Home, Google also lets you view live camera feeds in your preferences tab and set defaults.

You can join public previews from within the Home app or at home.google.com. “If you’re already signed up for Public Preview, you’ll see notifications in both the Nest app and the Google Home app under the Preferences tab with instructions when you can transfer your Nest Cam from the Nest app to Google. Home app,” Google said. Access will begin rolling out this week. And if you want to backport your Nest Cam IQ indoor and outdoor cameras back to the Nest app, you’ll be able to do that, according to Google.

Google also now lets you manage any Nest Hub Max devices from the Home app if you’re signed up for the public preview. However, unlike Nest Cam IQ cameras, when you bring Nest Hub Max devices to the Home app, you can’t transfer them to the Nest app.
