Google has rolled out the long-promised web portal for owners of itsNest security camerasandvideo doorbells. The desktop experience, unimaginatively-named Google Home for Web, is now available for five supported Nest camera products.
That means, if you need to check-in on what’s happening at home, or who is at the door, you can do so without moving your gaze from the laptop or desktop computer you’re currently working at.
The web portal can be accessed at home.google.com and enables users to see a live view of all of their cameras; in a mosaic or as well as full screen view with the ability to zoom in to see more detail.
Users will also be able to turn the cameras on and off from the web portal and wake up sleeping battery-powered cameras, while Google ispromisingto “work on adding more popular camera features”. If there are any in particular you’d like to see, Google is asking forfeedback.
Here are the supported cameras and doorbells:

Google committed to launching the desktop experience over a year ago, and reiterated the portal was on the way when it relaunched the Google Home app recently. It’s a nice bonus for users to see it finally roll out.
