How to connect Google Nest Cam to Apple HomeKit

Workaround required

The Google Nest Cam is a 1080p HDR indoor/outdoor Wi-Fi camera with intelligent alerts distinguishing people, animals, and vehicles. It stores 3 hours of event history for free and integrates deeply with the Google Home app for timeline-based event review. Requires a Google account.

The verdict

Google Nest Cam does not have native support for Apple HomeKit, but you can still integrate it using a bridge or workaround.

How to fix it

Nest Cam can be exposed to HomeKit via HomeBridge with the Google Nest plugin.

Note: This device works best when paired with a compatible hub or bridge.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Get the required bridge hardware — a HomeBridge server is the recommended option for hosting the bridge software. You can find compatible options on Amazon.
