A report from last week revealed that Nest was planning for a new product announcement come 17th of June. Well if you’re wondering what it could be, especially since details about the announcement was very scarce, wonder no more. It seems that the folks over at Droid-Life have managed to get their hands on photos that reveals the company’s next product.
Assuming that the information is accurate, the company could be planning on announcing the Nest Cam, which as you can see in the image above is a camera which will presumably be used for home security. The company has after all designed products for the home, like the smart thermostat and the smoke detector, so a smart home security camera probably makes sense.
The launch of the Nest Cam would also be the first new product to come from the company ever since Google had acquired it. In fact it was just last year that the company announced that they had acquired security camera maker Dropcam, and if you’re wondering why the camera above looks so familiar, it is because it seems to be based on the Dropcam Pro’s design.
Droid-Life’s sources tell us that Nest has given the Dropcam Pro an upgrade. It will apparently be able to stream Full HD video (and presumably capture it as well). It will also be easier to set up which could see the use of Bluetooth and/or QR codes. In any case we suppose we will learn more next week so check back with us then for the details.
