The Nest Cam Outdoor went up for pre-order last June on Amazon. It’s more than just a follow-up to the original Nest Cam. It’s an outdoor version which acts like a home CCTV cam but a little bit “smarter”. The company isn’t all about thermostats now. It offers outdoor cameras that can be integrated with the smart home system.
Outdoor Nest Cam is a security camera that also works with other Nest devices. It works with the compatible Nest app now called as Sightline that allows you to view what the camera sees anytime over the Internet. Right on the app, you as the smart home owner can control and manage the Nest cam. Even when you’re in a different location or in a vacation for example, you can see what’s going on in the surrounding areas. You can view in Full HD so you can see clearly what’s really happening.
What’s even better is that the Outdoor Cam now takes advantage of the activity alerts and Talk and Listen. These are Indoor features that turns the Outdoor cam more useful. The app has also been updated. You may notice a new interface where you can see all your Nest products whether inside or outside the home.
The Nest Outdoor cam can withstand the test of time. It delivers clear audio and secure streaming all the time. It’s weatherproof so you don’t have to worry about it getting wet or being affected by extreme temperatures. The cam is really smart as it uses algorithms and the cloud to store all data.
Item is still up for pre-order from Amazon but you can also buy from BestBuy in Canada or the United States. Expect the camera to be available in Belgium, UK, France, Netherlands, and Ireland. Note that the Sightline is offered with a Nest Aware subscription.
Nest started with the Nest Thermostat. So far, it has saved over 8 billion kilowatt hours. The device definitely helps save energy. The company recently released three new colors so it will fit any home. You can now choose from the three color options: copper, black, and white. It still has the round-ring design but now the colors make the Nest Thermostat look very stylish for any home.
