"The company notes it chose this sensor because it would offer the level of fidelity that its Gemini models could use both now and going forward as the technology evolves. Plus, it wanted to ensure that users would be able to zoom and see a certain degree of detail - like a license plate on an unknown vehicle outside their home, perhaps - and balance that with a desire not to consume too much data."
"In addition to the 2K HDR, the cameras offer a wider and taller field of view compared with prior devices. The new 152-degree diagonal view allows users to see more of what's happening. On the doorbell, meanwhile, Google increased both the field of view, now 166 degrees, and the aspect ratio to 1:1, offering a more square image. This should allow the device to see a more detailed view, including the head and feet of somebody standing at the door,"
New Nest devices include a $149.99 Nest Cam Outdoor, $99.99 Nest Cam Indoor, and a $179.99 Nest Doorbell. All devices integrate Gemini AI and record in 2K HDR, offering higher resolution than prior models. Sensors were selected to provide fidelity for AI use and allow meaningful zoom to identify details like license plates while managing data use. Cameras provide a wider and taller field of view — 152 degrees for cameras and 166 degrees with a 1:1 aspect ratio for the doorbell — enabling fuller views including heads, feet, and packages. Improved sensors and wider apertures deliver about 120% greater light sensitivity, longer full-color operation at dawn and dusk, and retained infrared night vision.
