What that means at home

Our reading of the specifications.

A broad view of one room

The 152° view helps cover a room from one position; digital zoom crops the image rather than moving a lens.

Live use is included; history is the paid part

Live view and two-way talk need no plan. The included previews are short; longer event history and continuous recording need Premium.

Model and source notes
  • The exact-model Google support table specifies six-hour previews. The Canadian specification page also contains older three-hour prose; the model-specific table takes precedence.
  • CA/AU features above do not include US-only smoke/CO alerts, garage-door detection or emergency calling.
