When a member of your household is actively viewing its stream, a Nest Cam will display a blinking green light. This visual indicator lets you know that the camera's feed is currently being accessed.
Understanding Nest Cam Status Lights
Nest Cams use a set of LED indicators to communicate their current operational status. These lights are essential for understanding what your device is doing at a glance, from simply being on to actively streaming.
Here’s a quick overview of the relevant status lights:
| Light Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Solid Green | Nest Cam is turned on and is currently monitoring. |
| Blinking Green | A member of your household is currently viewing Nest Cam's stream. |
The blinking green light specifically serves as a privacy indicator, ensuring that anyone in the vicinity of the camera is aware when its live feed is being viewed. This transparency is a key feature, providing peace of mind about who might be watching and when.
