How To Share Nest Camera?

If you have a Nest camera and want to share access with someone else, there are a few steps you need to follow. This could be useful if you’re going on vacation and want to give a trusted friend or family member access to your camera feed. Here’s how to share a Nest camera:

1. Open the Nest app on your smartphone or tablet.
2. Click on the camera that you want to share.
3. Tap on the settings gear icon in the top right corner.
4. Scroll down and click on “Family and guests”.
5. Click on “Invite guest”.
6. Enter the email address of the person you want to share with.
7. Choose the type of access you want to give them: “Full access” lets them view the camera feed and make changes to settings, while “Live stream only” only lets them view the camera feed.
8. Click “Send invitation”.

The person you invited will receive an email with instructions on how to accept the invitation and set up their own Nest account if they don’t already have one. Once they’ve accepted the invitation, they’ll be able to access the camera through their own Nest app.

It’s important to note that only the camera owner can invite guests and change their access level. If you want to revoke access for a guest, simply go back to the “Family and guests” section of the camera settings and click on “Revoke access”.

Sharing a Nest camera is a great way to give trusted friends or family members access to your home security system when you’re away. By following these steps, you can easily share your camera with others and control their level of access.
