Nest Cam Security Camera Upgrades Dropcam to 1080p Video

Google-owned Nest plans to start shipping a new plug-and-play, Wi-Fi security camera next week. The $199 Nest Cam is the first security product to result from Nest’s purchase of Dropcam last summer. The Nest Cam is physically reminiscent of the last Dropcam (although a bit slimmer), features infrared LEDs for night vision, and has been upgraded from 720p to 1080p. “The Nest Cam uses a cloud-based DVR to store video,” explains TechCrunch. “If you want to record and store video (rather than just stream it) you’re looking at paying $100-$300 a year on top of the cost of the device. 10-days of video archiving will cost $10 a month; 30-days of archiving will cost $30 a month.”
