Google Home app adds outdoor Nest cam, AI-powered open garage door detection, and more features،
Expanded support for first-generation Nest Cam Outdoor
The first-generation Nest Cam Outdoor now has expanded support in the Google Home app. This means users can now access footage from their Nest Cam Outdoor directly in the app, without having to switch between apps. Plus, the new Camera History experience in the Google Home app makes it easier to find the images you’re interested in, with event listings and timeline views.

Create and upload custom clips
The Google Home app now lets you create and upload custom clips from your Nest Cam footage. To create a custom clip, simply trim an existing event video clip by selecting a start time and choosing a clip duration. You can also download custom clips from any part of your video history if you have a Nest Aware Plus subscription and a compatible Nest Cam or Doorbell.

New AI-powered garage door detection
Nest Cams can now alert you when you forget to close the garage door. This new AI-powered feature uses image detection to identify whether your garage door is open or closed. If your garage door is left open, you will receive a notification in the Google Home app.
This particular feature will require a Nest Aware subscription and a Nest Cam (indoor, wired, 2nd generation) or a Nest Cam (battery) when wired for power.

Additional updates
In addition to the new features mentioned above, Google is also working on adding an event history and timeline to Nest cameras and doorbells displayed in a browser. The company is also working on the ability to upload clips to Google Home for the web.
