Tips:

  • If you bought a camera bundle that came with a prepaid Nest Aware subscription, we can’t offer a prorated refund.
  • If you bought your current 1st gen Nest Aware subscription from one of our partners, contact them to cancel your subscription. For more information, go to our Nest Aware partner FAQ.
  • Once you switch to the new Nest Aware, you can’t get 1st gen Nest Aware again.

When you cancel your subscription, you’ll have service until the billing cycle ends. You can turn specific Nest Aware features off at any time by changing the settings in the Home app. When your subscription ends, your video history will be deleted and sound clips will be deleted over time.

If you cancel your subscription during the trial period, you'll still have Nest Aware until the end of your trial and you won't be charged once it's over. You can always choose to reactivate your service before your trial period ends.
