Google’s Nest Aware subscription for Nest cameras, which provides access to video recording history and smart alerts, seems to be merging with the Google One service. In version 3.13 of the Google Home app, strings were discovered that suggest a potential combined Nest Aware/Google One offering. These findings come after the introduction of Google One AI Premium, which gives access to Gemini Advanced, Google’s most capable AI model.
The primary benefits highlighted in the discovered strings are “video history and intelligent alerts.” It is suggested that Google One subscribers may receive the base Nest Aware plan, priced at $8 per month or $80 annually, offering 30 days of event-based video history.
Nest Aware Plus, which provides 60 days of event history and up to 10 days of 24/7 video history, could potentially be offered as an “addon.” The current standalone cost for Nest Aware Plus is $15 per month or $150 annually.
The specific Google One plan that will include this perk is yet to be determined. It seems that AI Premium, priced at $19.99 and above, would be the most suitable option. The integration of Nest Aware could potentially enhance the value of the AI Premium plan. The $9.99 Premium plan with 2 TB might be considered too low in price for the addition of Nest Aware unless a price increase is on the horizon.
In Canada, Nest Aware Plus is rising from CA$16 to CA$20 per month and now carries an annual cost of CA$200, while the base plan is set at CA$10 per month or $100 annually. This adjustment will take effect on the next Nest Aware bill occurring on or after March 25, 2024.
Stay tuned for more updates as we learn more about this potential integration between Google One and Nest Aware!
