Nest Indoor Camera Offers Zooming, Tracking, Facial Recognition
Nest Labs Inc. announced the Nest Cam IQ indoor security camera, which can differentiate between animals and people and track movement while sending alerts about who is in the house.
Instead of just showing you what’s happening, Nest Cam IQ is smart enough to differentiate between a person and your cat and can alert you accordingly — with no subscription required, the company described. When it detects a person, it can send a person alert to the user’s phone and will automatically zoom in on and track the person in the frame so the viewer can get better information about who they are and what they’re doing. And with a Nest Aware subscription, users can even get personalized alerts based on who is in the house (e.g., the name of a family member, the dog sitter or a stranger).
