Yesterday's leak left little to imagination. Today's huge Nest reveal confirms almost everything we saw, which is exactly what happens when Google leaks. This morning's announcement is still significant. It includes updates to several configurations of Nests security camera and doorbell.Googles will announce up to four devices depending on your count. This includes the Google Nest Cam battery, Google Nest Doorbell ($180 each), the $280 Google Nest Cam With Floodlight, and the $100 Google Nest Cam.Nest Cams have a design that looks like it came straight from a Pixar film. The basic Nest Cam, priced at $100, is a second-generation wired device that's intended for indoor use only. The $180 model adds waterproofing and battery power, making it suitable both indoors and outdoors.According to the company, it should last around three months on a single charge if your home records an average of nine to twelve events per day. These numbers will vary depending on how many events your home sees in a day. The AI/ML can be trained to record certain activities. These could include people, animals, or parcel deliveries depending on the environment.Google wrote in a blog post that building a camera using ML to recognize objects required showing the ML model millions upon millions of images. To accommodate many different lighting conditions and environments, our new Nest Cameras or Doorbells were trained using 40 million images. Our new cameras can run an ML model as high as 7.5 times per second thanks to a TPU chip. This increases reliability and accuracy. 3. Nest Cam and Doorbells are wire-free and can be used in any homeThe new design of the doorbell is very appealing to me. It is battery-powered so you don't have to mess with wiring. You can set it up to ring through Google connected devices such as smart displays and Nest speakers, even if you don't have access to a hardwired one. The new doorbell, unlike the wired Nest Hello (which Google will continue to sell), doesn't allow continuous recording due to battery limitations. On average, it should last for three months.Preorder the new nest devices in 18 countries today and they will be available for purchase on August 24.
