I have looked all through the Nest developers site, and I can't find anything related to the camera. I can find plenty of great information on the thermostat and the smoke / CO alarm, but nothing for the camera.
In particular, I'm looking for how to get the video URL, how to get/set video resolution and frame rate, and how to get/set the zoom level (if applicable). Thanks.

The Nest API models a physical home or building as a structure, with Nest Learning Thermostats, Nest Protects, and Nest Cams as devices in the structure. This structure also contains information about the home as a whole (such as Away or ETA state, or active Rush Hours).
All Google Nest cameras and doorbells can upload and securely save video in the cloud, where it's protected from theft and damage. Once your camera's video is safely uploaded, you can access it anytime. But for your camera to upload video to the cloud, it needs to be connected to Wi-Fi and the Nest service.
The QR code's location is different for each Nest product, but it's typically found on the back, bottom, or inside the battery compartment. If you need help, tap Help me find the code on the Nest app's QR code scanning screen. The app will show you a picture of exactly where the code is.
As a short update to this question: I believe Nest made an API for the camera available today: https://developer.nest.com/documentation/api-reference/overview#cameras

There are no Nest Cam API's at the moment. However, we're hearing feedback asking for them. I'd love to hear what you would use them for.

I believe that the Dropcam (Nest camera) API is still in Beta. You can sign up for the beta here.
