Hi Johnk19,
Thanks for reaching out to the Community. I understand that you want to know specific details regarding your Nest Cameras (connectivity details, firewall rules, etc), I'm here to help! Let's take a look.
Unfortunately, most of the information that you are requesting is not available or is not specified due to the type of devices.
Here's what we know:
- Nest Doesn't Recommend Specific Ports: While some online resources might suggest specific ports, Nest itself doesn't recommend manually opening particular ports in your firewall.
- Dynamic Communication: Google Nest Cameras likely use a dynamic communication method, meaning they might not consistently use the same ports or IP addresses.
Here are some additional points to consider:
- Specific Camera Model: While the general principle applies, communication protocols might differ slightly between Nest camera models. You can check the device’s user guide or manual for additional firewall configurations.
- Device technical info: You can check the following steps to locate the technical information for your Nest Cameras.
- Google Home app:
- Open the Google Home app.
- Tap and hold your device's tile.
- At the top right, tap Settings and then Device information.
- Nest app:
- Open the Nest app:
- Tap Settings in the top right corner of the Nest app home screen.
- Select the product that you want to check.
- Tap Technical info.
You can also check the following article to Find your Nest product's MAC address in case you want to locate that information.
Please keep me posted.
Regards,
Mario
