The promise of the “home-of-the-future” has finally arrived with the Nest line of home automation and security products. Nest makes it easy to install, manage, maintain, and keep an eye on your home whether you’re around the corner or halfway around the world. Nest Camand the optional companion Nest Aware subscription make it simple to help you look after your home without expensive or complicated installations.

This small, Wi-Fi camera is a great as added security when you’re away from home, or as a pet cam or baby monitor. You’ll get a 130 degree wide-angle view– and the ability to zoom in for a closer look. Even if you aren’t available to see what’s happening at the moment, you can always use Nest Aware to go back and see what you missed.

You can’t always be watching your live feed, so Nest Camlooks for motion and sends an alert to your phone if it sees or hears something. Most cameras can’t tell the difference between false alerts from light, shadows, and branches, but when you subscribe to Nest Aware, ​advanced algorithms in the cloud using depth sensing and face detection kick in to give you more accurate alerts.

Up until now the world of home security involved committing to long-term contracts and having strangers come to your home to run wires (and drill holes) all over. It’s a messy, intrusive and expensive proposition – and that’s before you even start to talk about remote access on your smartphone or tablet. And if you’re a renter, you can pretty much forget about having a simple solution for home-monitoring. Nest Cam delivers a user experience unlike anything that’s come before it in the world of home security

In the box, you get: a Nest Cam indoor camera, versatile stand with magnetic base, 10-foot USB cable and power adapter, Quick Start Guide, Welcome Guide, Window decal, Nest screws and wall-mounting plate. . Setup is a breeze: find a space in your home or apartment, plug the Nest Cam into your outlet, download the Nest app, pair and set up once, and you’re done. You now have a camera that lets you look after your home 24/7, and can be easily controlled from anywhere using your tablet or smartphone.

Nest Cam can stream and record up to 1080p HD and features a ⅓-inch 3-megapixel sensor capable of displaying millions of colors and 8x digital zoom, 8 high powered infrared LEDs for the ability to capture high quality video in the dark, a microphone and speaker, and a 130-degree field of view for maximum coverage.
