Nest unveils app-based outdoor security camera
New York
NEST Labs Inc, a unit of Alphabet Inc, introduced its first new connected-home gadget in more than a year after a rocky few months that saw the departure of its controversial chief executive officer.
The Nest Cam Outdoor takes the company's indoor home-monitoring camera and puts it outside, using machine learning to alert homeowners to trespassers on their property. Plugged into a house's external outlet, the Wi-Fi-enabled, weatherproof device provides constant live streaming to its users via an app, sending an alert when a person - but not a raccoon - walks into its frame.
