All legacy Nest Cams are supported in the Smart Device Management (SDM) API:
- Google Nest Cam Indoor
- Google Nest Cam Outdoor
- Google Nest Cam IQ Indoor
- Google Nest Cam IQ Outdoor
These devices return a device type of CAMERA:
sdm.devices.types.CAMERA
The Google Nest Doorbell (legacy) and Google Nest Hub Max also function as cameras and feature similar traits, though they return device types of DOORBELL and DISPLAY, respectively.
Google Nest Cam Indoor and Google Nest Cam Outdoor can be used in either the
Nest app or the Google Home app but not both at the same time. When the camera
is on the Nest app it supports RTSP. And when the camera is on the Google Home app
it supports WebRTC. The supportedProtocols
field of the
CameraLiveStream trait shows which format
is supported. See the
Migrate devices to the Google Home app
support article for additional explanation.
See the Doorbell and Display device guides for more information on features unique to those device types.

Handle camera events
The following events may be triggered from a CAMERA device type or a DOORBELL or DISPLAY that features a camera, such as the Google Nest Doorbell (legacy) or Google Nest Hub Max :Type | Element | Description |
---|---|---|
Event | Motion event of the CameraMotion trait | Motion has been detected by the camera. |
Event | Person event of the CameraPerson trait | A person has been detected by the camera. |
Event | Sound event of the CameraSound trait | Sound has been detected by the camera. |

eventId
that can be used with the
GenerateImage
command. This command returns a download URL for the camera image related to the
event:
Request
POST /enterprises/project-id/devices/device-id:executeCommand
{
"command" : "sdm.devices.commands.CameraEventImage.GenerateImage
",
"params" : {
"eventId" : "bmX8aaDRd38N6zgZenHJ6wry0N..."
}
}
Response
{ "results" : { "url" : "https://domain/sdm_event_snapshot/dGNUlTU2CjY5Y3VKaTZwR3o4Y1...", "token" : "g.0.eventToken" } }
Download a camera image
Make a GET call to the url
from a
GenerateImage command response,
using the token
in the HTTP Authorization header with Basic authorization, to
download the camera image:
curl -H "Authorization: Basic g.0.eventToken" \
https://domain/sdm_event_snapshot/dGNUlTU2CjY5Y3VKaTZwR3o4Y1...
Use width
or height
query parameters to customize the resolution of the
downloaded image. Only one of these parameters need to specified. The other
parameter is scaled automatically according to the camera's aspect ratio.
For example, if the camera's aspect ratio is 4:3, to download the camera image with a resolution of 480 x 360 specify either the width or the height:
Width
curl -H "Authorization: Basic g.0.eventToken" \
https://domain/sdm_event_snapshot/dGNUlTU2CjY5Y3VKaTZwR3o4Y1...?width=480
Height
curl -H "Authorization: Basic g.0.eventToken" \
https://domain/sdm_event_snapshot/dGNUlTU2CjY5Y3VKaTZwR3o4Y1...?height=360
Other restrictions to the download URL apply:
- If both parameters are provided in the URL,
width
is used andheight
is ignored. - If neither parameter is provided in the URL, a default value of 480 is chosen for the
width
.
See the CameraImage trait for information on image properties.
Access a live stream
The live stream from a camera can be accessed. The following stream formats are supported for this device:
- RTSP
- WebRTC
For a full list of cameras and supported stream formats, see Supported Devices.
To access a live stream, use the appropriate GenerateFormatStream command of the CameraLiveStream trait.
WebRTC
For a WebRTC stream, send an offerSdp
in the
GenerateWebRtcStream command of the CameraLiveStream trait
to get an answerSdp
:
Request
POST /enterprises/project-id/devices/device-id:executeCommand
{
"command" : "sdm.devices.commands.CameraLiveStream.GenerateWebRtcStream
",
"params" : {
"offerSdp" : "offerSdp"
}
}
Response
{ "results" : { "answerSdp" : "answerSdp", "expiresAt" : "2020-01-04T18:30:00.000Z", "mediaSessionId" : "_aICIpjgeYmpj-NHXTWVrj48pQ..." } }
We recommend using the Web Application Sample to learn how to generate a successful live stream. This sample
generates a valid offerSdp
that meets all the SDP offer restrictions for Nest cameras.
An SDP offer for Nest cameras must meet the following restrictions:
- Only the Unified format is supported. Plan B is not supported.
- All media lines (
m=
) must be present in the offer and must be in this order:- audio
- video
- application
- Trickle ICE is supported, but not required.
- Only the Opus codec is supported for audio.
- The audio setting must be set to
a=recvonly
(receive only). - The offer must end with a newline character of either
\r\n
or\n
.
The answerSdp
must be used to generate the live stream within 30 seconds of receiving the response, otherwise it expires. If it expires, execute the GenerateWebRtcStream command again to receive a new answerSdp
.
When opening WebRTC channels for the live stream, make sure to create a data channel as well as a video channel.

RTSP
For an RTSP stream, the
GenerateRtspStream command of the CameraLiveStream trait command
returns the stream URL and related streamToken
:
Request
POST /enterprises/project-id/devices/device-id:executeCommand
{
"command" : "sdm.devices.commands.CameraLiveStream.GenerateRtspStream
",
"params" : {}
}
Response
{ "results" : { "streamUrls" : { "rtspUrl" : "rtsps://someurl.com/CjY5Y3VKaTZwR3o4Y19YbTVfMF...?auth=g.0.streamingToken" }, "streamExtensionToken" : "CjY5Y3VKaTZwR3o4Y19YbTVfMF...", "streamToken" : "g.0.streamingToken", "expiresAt" : "2018-01-04T18:30:00.000Z" } }
Then use the stream URL to access the camera live stream:
rtsps://someurl.com/CjY5Y3VKaTZwR3o4Y19YbTVfMF...?auth=g.0.streamingToken
RTSP live stream URLs cannot be shared between clients. A stream URL can only be used by one client at a time. If multiple clients want to stream from the same camera at the same time, RTSP commands must be sent for each individual client, and each individual client must use its own stream URL.
Extend a live stream
Camera live stream sessions are only valid for 5 minutes. If you need to extend the lifetime of a live stream, use the appropriate ExtendFormatStream command of the CameraLiveStream trait for the stream format you generated.
WebRTC
Wired
A WebRTC stream can only be extended on wire-powered cameras. A battery-powered camera is considered wire-powered while plugged in for charging. If the camera is on battery power, a request to extend an active WebRTC stream will be ignored.
To extend a WebRTC stream, specify the media session ID of the stream with the ExtendWebRtcStream command of the CameraLiveStream trait:
Request
POST /enterprises/project-id/devices/device-id:executeCommand
{
"command" : "sdm.devices.commands.CameraLiveStream.ExtendWebRtcStream
",
"params" : {
"mediaSessionId" : "_aICIpjgeYmpj-NHXTWVrj48pQ..."
}
}
Response
{ "results" : { "expiresAt" : "2018-01-04T18:30:00.000Z", "mediaSessionId" : "_aICIpjgeYmpj-NHXTWVrj48pQ..." } }
RTSP
To extend an RTSP stream, use the
ExtendRtspStream command of the CameraLiveStream trait command to
get new streamExtensionToken
and streamToken
values:
Request
POST /enterprises/project-id/devices/device-id:executeCommand
{
"command" : "sdm.devices.commands.CameraLiveStream.ExtendRtspStream
",
"params" : {
"streamExtensionToken" : "CjY5Y3VKaTZwR3o4Y19YbTVfMF..."
}
}
Response
{ "results" : { "streamExtensionToken" : "dGNUlTU2CjY5Y3VKaTZwR3o4Y1...", "streamToken" : "g.0.newStreamingToken", "expiresAt" : "2018-01-04T18:30:00.000Z" } }
Update the stream URL with these new values to continue viewing the live stream:
rtsps://someurl.com/dGNUlTU2CjY5Y3VKaTZwR3o4Y1...?auth=g.0.newStreamingToken
Stop a live stream
Any time you are no longer using a camera live stream, you should stop it and invalidate the stream. To do so, use the appropriate StopFormatStream command of the CameraLiveStream trait for the stream format you generated.
WebRTC
To stop a WebRTC stream, specify the media session ID with the StopWebRtcStream command of the CameraLiveStream trait:
Request
POST /enterprises/project-id/devices/device-id:executeCommand
{
"command" : "sdm.devices.commands.CameraLiveStream.StopWebRtcStream
",
"params" : {
"mediaSessionId" : "_aICIpjgeYmpj-NHXTWVrj48pQ..."
}
}
Response
{}
RTSP
To stop an RTSP stream, use the token to invalidate with the StopRtspStream command of the CameraLiveStream trait command:
Request
POST /enterprises/project-id/devices/device-id:executeCommand
{
"command" : "sdm.devices.commands.CameraLiveStream.StopRtspStream
",
"params" : {
"streamExtensionToken" : "CjY5Y3VKaTZwR3o4Y19YbTVfMF..."
}
}
Response
{}
Errors
The following error code(s) may be returned in relation to this device:
Error Message | RPC | Troubleshooting |
---|---|---|
The camera is not available for streaming. | FAILED_PRECONDITION |
The camera is either offline or not available for streaming due to a technical issue. |
Command not supported. | INVALID_ARGUMENT |
