Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “New Nest cams and smart doorbell first look”.
Smart-Home company nest is making a big security push here in San Francisco. The company held a hardware event to show off a whole bunch of new products, including two new cameras and a whole new home security system. So in this first product they announced today is a update to their outdoor security camera. So this is called the nest cam IQ outdoor, essentially it’s an upgraded version of the original nest, cam outdoor that came out a couple years ago, although this one now packs the technology from the IQ indoor camera that came out back in May.
This camera is now water resistant up to IP 66, which is better than the original cameras IP 65. It’S got a better field of view, so it can see kind of the full front doorstep. You know people who are really tall or even if there are packages on the ground, it’s got a built-in HTR, so that if there are lighting changes going on with different weather effects or if somebody’s kind of blocking the Sun it’ll it’ll still be able to see.
What’S in front of it, so the original nest cam outdoor needed the nest aware subscription service to be able to tell you when there are people walking in front of it now this camera can do it on its own and neces, including that feature for free. So if you’re already a nest aware subscriber or you’re looking for a more robust motion or person tracking system, this camera could do some pretty neat stuff. It makes you subnets sister company, Google’s based net software.
It can learn over time to recognize people who come up to your door, whether that’s family members, friends, the mailman, and then it will be able to send you alerts telling you who that person is before you even have to look at the camera. Unlike the previous outdoor camera nests made this one actually plugs in into your house and into a wall outlet, which is, for some people a little bit more reassuring that they don’t don’t worry about having something plugged in outside. So nest is still selling the original nest.
Cam outdoor for 199 dollars, this one will ship in November for three hundred and forty nine dollars. If you want to have that nest aware subscription service, that gives you the facial recognition and a few other new features that will cost you ten dollars a month or five dollars after that for every new device you add to it. So if you already have nest aware – and you want to add this to your current system – it’ll be five dollars more a month – the nest, cam IQ outdoor isn’t the only camera neces announcing.
Today they have a second one called nest. Hello and as you might guess, this one is a doorbell camera. It has a camera up here, a 1080p camera and has a microphone and a speaker down here on the bottom, and this touch sensitive doorbell ring like all of nest products this one kind of syncs with the app you get alerts when people walk up to the Camera and you get alerts when the doorbell is rung, it’s the widest field of view of any nest, cam that they make it’s a hundred and sixty degree field of youth.
It also has HDR one cool thing that scalo does is called a quick actions so effectively. If somebody’s at your door, they ring the doorbell or you get the the person alert. That shows that somebody is standing in front of your door. You can then pick from a quick list of actions, and even automated voice prompts so well, then go down to the nest, hello and communicate with the person standing in front of your door.
Another feature nessus building is the brought up. Guys tentatively called warm welcome and that’s gon na be a glow that shows up on the light whenever it detects somebody walking up at night. That way you kind of acts as a welcome to you. If you live there or it also acts as a deterrent.
In case somebody thinks they can walk up to your door and they see the light they think they’re being watched. They they get out of there. So, unlike the other camera nest is announcing today, this one does not come out in November. That’S just shipping this one in the first quarter of 2018.
We don’t yet know how much it will cost nests. Big message here at it’s Hardware event is that they want to add more security features and more security products. So the central focus of Messick here is the nest guard, so this device it plugs into the wall, connects over Wi-Fi and it sits near your front door. Essentially, this is where the alarm will go off.
If anyone enters your home now, there are three ways you can turn that alarm off. You can either use one of these key fobs here by tapping it right here on the nest guard. You can of course give these key fobs to friends and family. They even have time limits on them, so you can set the time limits in a mobile app that determines when these key fobs can be used to turn the alarm off. You can remotely turn the alarm off using this mobile app or you can now put in a key code here. There are no numbers, this version of the device, but it will have numbers in the final product.
Nessa secure also has a remote arming system. So say you leave the house or say the last person who’s leaves the house, your your son, your daughter, and they forget to arm the system. Somehow the mobile app will send a notification to you asking you to remotely arm the system if it doesn’t detect anyone’s phone in the home, so necess whole secure system has a few other gadgets going on. Besides the guard and besides the key fob, these little devices here are called nest detect.
These are essentially motion detection systems and they detect when doors, are open or closed. So this device here it sticks right up near the jamb of the door and it pairs with one of these smaller devices here and they communicate using magnetism. So essentially, if this device detects that this one has moved so if a door is opening or if a window is opening, they will then trigger the alarm. One thing to mention about the nest detect is that it has a quiet, open button.
So say you want to get up really early and you want to go for a jog just like that. You don’t want to basically set off the alarm and go through that whole process press this button here and it’ll, basically briefly disarm and then rearm. The security system, one last hardware, product and this family is called a nest connect. So this is just a booster for all the other devices and then in the event, you have a large house and you’re worried about the signal, basically reaching all the different devices. The reason this is important is because nest has made a secure system – modular, meaning you can add, you can add, on new key fobs. You can add on new detects.
You can add on as many as you like. Basically, they all they’re all sold separately and you can create an entire system where every window or door at least the ones you’re worried about, have these motion, detection and door opening and closing systems hooked up to them. One thing to mention is that, in the event of a storm – or in case your Wi-Fi goes out, you’re probably wondering like how do I get in my home? So Nest has a t-mobile backup option or you can pay, for they also have a professional home monitoring service called monney that will effectively alert law enforcement if the alarm goes off. If you want to opt in step through the cell backup from t-mobile, it’s gon na cost, you five dollars a month or $ 50. A year Nest hasn’t announced singing after the the third-party partnership with money, Nesta selling the whole secure system miss November for four hundred and ninety nine dollars. If you want to add on new gadgets in this family, an extra nested tech will cost $ 59 and an extra key fob will cost $ 25.
