"Nest is completely reimagining the camera experience with new hardware, a redesigned app, and more intelligent alerts. And because Nest is constantly improving its products, current Nest Cam Indoor and Dropcam customers will also benefit from these new features," said Maxime Veron, director of hardware product marketing, Nest. "Nest Cam provides customers with peace of mind and the ability to stay connected to the things they care most about. Now, Nest Cam Outdoor brings thoughtful security outside of customers' homes, helping them secure their property and giving them more ways to watch over their families, even when they're miles away." Nest Cam Outdoor + Person Alerts Since its launch last year, Nest Cam has become an integral part of our customer's homes and many use the Nest Aware service to record the video they are capturing. In fact, Nest Cam customers collectively upload several thousand hours of video every minute. Currently, most Nest Cam Indoor customers use it primarily for home security, and 30% of them point their cameras outside. Customers have been asking for an outdoor-facing camera and Nes Cam Outdoor is designed to satisfy the demand. Nest Cam Outdoor combines easy installation with true 24/7 security inside and out. Features include:
Nest Cam Indoor, Nest Cam Outdoor and Dropcam customers with a Nest Aware subscription will benefit from 24/7 continuous recording, cloud storage and intelligent alerts. Beginning in September, subscribers will start receiving a new intelligent alert called person alerts, in addition to existing methods of motion and sound detection. Nest Cam uses the power of the cloud and world class vision algorithms to provide more accurate alerts. With person alerts, Nest will notify customers with a specific alert when it detects a person, versus a dog or a car, for example, highlighting moments that matter. "The future is about intelligent alerts. Customers want to know when something is happening that genuinely deserves their attention. Person alerts are the first of many innovations that will make Nest Cam a more helpful partner in securing the home," said Veron. Redesigned Nest App The fifth generation Nest app for the phone, tablet and computer allowed customers the ability to control all of their Nest products from a single app. Now it's even easier for customers to control their homes on their devices with the introduction of Spaces. Spaces puts each customer's home in their hand like never before. It enables them to intuitively see what's happening with all of their Nest products, organized room by room. Nest has expanded the view for camera feeds to full screen width, so customers can see what's happening at a glance. And if connected to Wi-Fi, they can see live streams. Additionally, the redesigned Nest app will unlock new features for current camera customers.
Another notable update in the new Nest app is that it now supports Apple (News - Alert) Watch, as well as Android Wear which was released earlier this year, so customers can control the temperature of their Nest Learning Thermostat from their wrist. Pricing and Availability
