Nest Labs revamps its entire product line: Goodbye Dropcam, hello Nest Cam<article>
<section class="page">
<p>Nest Labs launched two products today: its first security camera, a slimmed-down version of the popular Dropcam Pro called the Nest Cam, and a second-generation Nest Protect smoke and carbon-monoxide detector. The company also announced a software update for its Nest Learning Thermostat that adds at least one new feature: notifications when temperatures in the home drop low enough to freeze pipes. And for the first time, consumers who have all three devices in their homes will be able to access each device from a single app.</p><p>Like the
highly rated Dropcam Pro it replaces (Nest acquired Dropcam in a $555 million deal in 2014), the Nest Cam records video at 30 frames per second in 1080p resolution, and it delivers the same wide-angle 130-degree field of view. Sound and motion sensors built into the camera will trigger the camera to record clips that are uploaded to the cloud. According to a Nest press release, the Nest Cam provides better night vision than the original thanks to new infrared LEDs and algorithms that can discern the difference between a flashlight and sunlight, so the camera won’t become confused and switch to day mode when a bright light passes in front of the camera.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2937216/nest-labs-revamps-its-entire-product-line-goodbye-dropcam-hello-nest-cam.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
