The Nest doorbell comes fitted with a “Nest Hello” camera alongside a mic and speakerphone. Needless to say, it will allow the house owners to see who is at the door and also allow the latter to speak up via the microphone. Nest is keeping mum on the pricing, but the company says that the device will be available from the first quarter of 2018.
Moving on, the Nest Secure is a motion sensor that comes along with a keypad button. Tagging is done by a small keychain which is named “Nest Tag.” The Nest Secure will be available starting from November and is priced at $500. Furthermore, the company has also unveiled a new version of its Nest Cam IQ security camera, and this will come with support for Google Assistant. Nest has been taking its own time in introducing new products and is mostly involved in bringing up iterative updates for the current lineups. The company was bought by Google in 2014 for $3Billion, and in the same year Nest, Cam bought Dropcam, a maker of security cameras. However, post the acquisition Dropcam employees resigned, and a cloud of doubt was cast over the acquisition. Now it seems that Nest finally sees it fit to get back into the market.
