I would love to know how they prioritized these features. As someone that owns two indoor Nest cams and one outdoor Nest cam, higher quality video and face recognition feels like technology for technology sake. What would have been interesting to me are more sensors (temp, humidity, air quality, barometric pressure for outdoor) and more intelligent integration with other Nest / Google hardware products (Nest protect and Google Wifi). Also, some efficiency for the cloud services would be handy (I have to pay for each one individually and it's super expensive).

Face recognition was already part of other Nest camera with nest aware so its nothing new...Unfortunately in the demo video Nest was not able to communicate to me the reason spending this much money...

Costs $299 though.... Coverage; Wired TechCrunch

Expected update with unexpected price bump. I'm not sure extra $100 is justified.

new Nest "products"...wait a minute...

The price is quite steep I think. But I would like to get one.

remindes me of:

0:53 — Seriously? Bad kind of parental education. Who wanna live in front of a camera … the whole time?

Face-recognition technology - can identify family members and learn to differentiate them from strangers. Impressive!!!
