Google Nest Cam, The Surveillance Camera That Recognizes Friends

Google Nest Cam : It is perhaps one of the most beautiful camcorder designs on the market; its name: Google Nest Cam and its main function, as everyone can guess, is to monitor the environment in which we have it installed. Only some differential details: Camera with 2-megapixel color sensor; video up to 1080p (1920×1080) at 30 frames per second; video history up to 3 hours and speakerphone with high quality microphone

The sales pack of this new element for Google’s ‘home’ ecosystem includes a Nest Cam with base (Height: 98.47 mm Width: 64.03 mm Depth: 56.93 mm and 983 g with cable of feeding); a USB A power adapter with differential design and logo in bas-relief, wall screws, as well as anchors for a fixed installation, as well as two-year warranty papers.

The small metal axis mentioned above is the support that allows us to move and fix the camera at the angle we consider convenient. It must be remembered that, although the vision is very wide, the lens does not rotate nor can it be moved from the mobile at a distance.

The Nest Camera Connection

To make the connection, just go to the Google Home application, add an element, indicate that it is a camera and read the QR code that is included on the sticker that protects the lens. The link is made using dual-band WiFi 5 (802.11a/b/g/n/ac) technology: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, among which we can choose what suits us best.

The application immediately reminds us of the installation and security advice and the minimum and maximum temperature levels at which the terminal must operate (0ºC and 40ºC), the privacy guidelines that remind people who may enter your house that they are going to be recorded and get your permission and then the configuration of use begins, step by step.

On the other hand, it is possible to activate or not the microphone and the audio recording, because the system allows us to speak from a remote place and that a person or a pet listens to us in the place where Nest is.

Nest Aware

On the other hand, the American multinational has created a recording platform that saves videos of up to 3 hours for events at no additional cost.

In payment mode, it allows us to obtain the video history of 30 days and up to 60 days and create intelligent alerts.

In case we do not want the Nest Aware recording service, we can exit and go directly to the camera activity or to the configuration to indicate what type of notifications we want to receive and choose if we should be alerted in case of detection of people, animals , vehicles or movement.

Likewise, it is possible to teach the camera the trusted faces, so that it sends us an alert when it perceives a face and tells us if it is a known or unknown face.
