There’s a few other cool features in the camera itself such as an automatic zoom which tracks moving objects if it detects an intruder. The downside to all this is that you do have to pay a subscription fee for this service. The system is smart enough to remember faces it has seen before so you don’t need to keep approving family and friends every time they enter the living room. If the camera detects a face it doesn’t recognise, it will send a notification and picture to your phone, allowing you to give that person the once over. If it's someone getting up to no good, the camera will follow their movements and save the timestamp, so you can easily find it in the future. And, of course, you can phone 999 while they're still in your house. Things start to get really interesting with the Nest's facial recognition system. The wide face of the camera gives you an impressive field of vision, and the picture you get is of good quality (you can change the resolution the better it gets, the more data you'll use to save it to the cloud.) To see that footage, you can use an app on your phone or a browser link on your computer. Even better, Nest have slashed the price taking this device from nearly £300 to less than £100.įundamentally, the Nest camera sits wherever you put it and records what it sees, saving the last five days of footage to the cloud. It's far from the horrid metal CCTV box that you might call to mind when you imagine a home security camera. For starters, it looks beautiful: the all-white design and black camera face are seriously spacey (if eerily reminiscent of the AI in 2001: A Space Odyssey).
The new version of the Nest Cam is a nice bit of kit.
