Description of Watch Cam for Nest Cam

Apple Watch, Nest Cam, and Siri together. What a sight! The app has Siri Voice shortcuts, and they can be used to set your home into Away or Home state using Siri on your Watch or iPhone, as well as to display the live feeds from your cameras. The app supports Apple Watch LTE, and can work when the iPhone is not around - as long as the watch itself has internet access (either LTE or WiFi). The app is fully functional with an initial purchase. The in-app purchases are used only for giving a tip to the developer. Watch Cam lets you monitor all your Nest Cams from the Apple Watch or the iOS Widget. • From the watch face, tap on the Watch Cam complication to open the app. Swipe left and right to view life feeds from all your Nest Cams. • One of the watch complications shows you the snapshot from the camera of your choice, right on the watch face. The snapshot updates periodically all on its own, so you'll have a recent view of your camera any time you look at the watch. Useful when waiting for that package to arrive. • On your iOS device you can swipe to the widget panel to see what's on all of your cameras. • View the continuously updated Live Feed from the camera in the watch app, the iOS widget, or the iOS app. The feed updates with a new image approximately every second on the iOS and two seconds on the Watch - may be faster or slower, depending on your network speed. • Use the digital crown on the Watch to zoom in and out, or tap the screen to toggle zoom levels. • Use the pinch gesture on the camera views in the iOS app to zoom in and out. Single tap toggles the zoom level in the iOS app and the iOS widget. • Turn the device to landscape mode to increase the camera views sizes. • Double tap on the Live Feed view in the iOS app or the widget to launch the Nest app. • Set Geofence around your home to reliably set the Home and Away state when you come and go. Watch Face Complications can display the following: • Snapshot from the camera of your choice that updates periodically. • Status of all the cameras - if the camera icon is green, it means that all your cameras are online and streaming. If it's dimmed, it means that some cameras are off. You can long-press the Watch screen for additional functions, like setting the home/away status, or turning the camera streaming on and off. While the app's minimalist looks betray the simplicity of its operation, what they don't show is the amount of planning, design, development and refinement that went into it, ensuring it becomes something that is enjoyable to use and experience. Please Note: Watch Cam does not collect any of your data. Your login information, camera feeds, and any activity - all of it flows exclusively between your devices and Nest. Author of Watch Cam does not receive any of it, at any point. This app and its developer are unaffiliated with Google Inc. or Google Nest. Nest is a trademark of Google Inc.

Reviews of Watch Cam for Nest Cam

  • Previously Perfect

    This may only be my second app review ever? I’m not sure, but this one is worth it. This app is so convenient that I should have given it these five stars back when I first installed it. Being able to check my Nest camera feeds on my watch is very convenient and was the whole reason I downloaded it in the first place.

    What I did NOT anticipate was how useful the widget would be. Being able to simply swipe from my Home Screen and instantly see my four top cameras is legitimately a game changer. I used that function more than my watch or the Google Home app itself.

    Unfortunately sometime in the last few months something broke. I think it was most likely due to an iOS update, but I’m not sure. Whatever it was, the widget now fails to load the camera feeds and is depressingly empty. I’ve tried limiting it to a single feed, uninstalling/reinstalling, even adding and removing cameras but nothing has helped. Is this something that is fixable?

    Thank you for a great app!

    Developer Response

    Thank you for the thoughtful review! The memory allocated to the widgets could have changed with an OS update, which could have caused this, but please try powering off the phone and starting it again - see if that resolves the problem. If not, please contact me at marconelly@gmail.com and I can send you a test version of the app where I'm working on a solution for this problem.
  • Awesome app!

    This app is totally awesome and the fact that I can view live from all my Nest right on my Apple Watch is total game changer for me. The developer of this app is very responsive and so helpful. This app is awesome!
  • Live feed works!

    I’ll be honest that I was skeptical at first because Google/Nest doesn’t seem to play nice anymore with 3rd party stuff. However, the live feed does work great on my Apple Watch Ultra. It shows maybe a frame or two per second, but it’s perfect for seeing what’s going on without getting your phone.
