A few weeks ago, Google had announced its new Nest Cam lineup. Out of the four devices that the company had unveiled, the Nest Cam battery and the Nest Doorbell went on sale in August. Now, the tech giant is launching the remaining two products — Nest Cam wired and the Nest Cam with floodlight.
The Google Nest Cam wired is the budget offering from the company and is much smaller in size when compared to the indoor/outdoor Nest Cam. It has a 16:9 aspect ratio and comes with support for 1080p video at up to 30fps. The device also has a 135-degree field of view and 6x digital zoom.
The product comes in four color options — White, Pink, Beige, and Green, for the price of $99. There’s also a pink-hue model also comes with a wooden base, which comes at slightly higher pricing of $119.
On the other hand, the Google Nest Cam with floodlight is similar to the indoor/outdoor Nest Cam but comes attached with a 2,400-lumen floodlight. It records video through a 1/2.8-inch 2-megapixel sensor with 130-degree field-of-view and 6x digital zoom support.
It requires permanent power and has to be wired into the home’s wiring through a standard outdoor junction box. The floodlight is rated IP65 for weatherproofing and the camera itself is IP54. The device is on sale through Google Store for $279.99.
The product uses on-device intelligence to detect people, animals, and vehicles rather than just relying on a motion sensor. This means that you’re not illuminating the area through the light when something not-so-important happens.
Additionally, the new Nest cameras come with built-in intelligence and on-device processing, which means that there is now less reliance on the cloud. Google also allows users to create Activity Zones for free and get three hours of event-based video.
The user will be able to record up to an hour of footage if the internet connection breaks up or the power goes out. For more than three hours of recording, or to enable 24/7 recording, users will need to purchase a Nest Aware subscription, starting at $6 a month.
