Google has raised prices on its TV Streamer and Nest camera lineup effective today, August 31. The Google TV Streamer has increased from $100 to $150 at the Google Store and Best Buy, though some Amazon listings may still have older stock at the original price. The Nest lineup sees across-the-board markups, with all five currently available cameras and doorbells seeing increases of $20 to $50.

The battery-powered Nest Cam is now $200, up from $180, while the second-generation wired Nest Cam Outdoor jumps from $150 to $200. The third-generation wired Nest Cam Indoor rises to $130 from $100. Both the wired and battery Nest Doorbells now cost $200, up from $180.

Google cites increased component costs, specifically mentioning the Streamer's 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage as a likely factor. Interestingly, the Nest Cam with Floodlight bundle remains at $280, and the Nest Hub, thermostats, and the new Google Home Speaker remain unchanged. These price adjustments come as the tech giant faces broader cost pressures across its hardware lineup.

If you have been holding off on picking up Google's smart home hardware, your hesitation just got a lot more expensive, with supplies of older stock at launch prices expected to disappear quickly.
