Nest Aware costs $6/month or $60/year for 30 days of event video history. Nest Aware Plus costs $12/month or $120/year and includes 60 days of event history plus 10 days of 24/7 video recording.

Q: Can I use my Nest camera without a subscription?

Yes, you can use basic features like live viewing, motion and sound alerts, and 3 hours of event video history without a subscription. However, extended history and advanced AI features require Nest Aware.
