Good news forNest cameraowners:Googleis bringing Chromecast streaming to all models so you can stream directly to yourChromecast with Google TV. The news comes via a post on theNest Community blog, which explains: “Starting this week, you will be able to watch the video feed from all of your Nest Cams and Nest Doorbells using Chromecast with Google TV!”
That’s a big improvement, as at the moment Nest’s only device in our guide to thebest smart security devicesis its Nest Protect smart smoke detector. Being able to tune into your cameras from your TV makes Nest cameras much more useful, and much more convenient.
The big question about Nest Chromecast streaming
What took Google so long? This has taken an uncharacteristically long time. You’d think Google would prioritise its own hardware but asEngadgetreports, the feature was only previously available to Nest-branded displays – and Google brought Nest Cam streaming toAmazon’s various Echo displays long before it brought it to its own Google TV hardware. Not only that, but Amazon’s Ring was Chromecast-friendly before Nest devices were.
It may have taken a while to get here but it’s still welcome. The Chromecast with Google TV is one of thebest streamersyou can buy, and expanding it to include Nest smart home security products makes it an even better buy. Chances are if you’ve bought a Chromecast you’re a fan of Google’s way of doing things, so the more integration you have between your different Google devices the smarter yoursmart homewill be.
