Nest Cam IQ intros lossless zoom and facial recognition: Hands-on

Nest has a new home security camera, the Nest Cam IQ, and it’s promising to be the smartest, sleekest, and yes, most expensive model in the Alphabet company’s range. While it may look a lot like the Nest Cam Outdoor, it’s actually the first camera to use the company’s all-new platform. Two years in development, it’ll be the basis of a new, more intelligent take on home security.

As you might expect, video quality has improved. Where the existing Nest Cam Indoor captures at 700 kbps to 1.2 Mbps, for instance, the new Nest Cam IQ captures at up to 2 Mbps. However, there’s more to it than just more polished pixels.

The camera itself stands 4.9-inches high and weighs 12.6 ounces. It’s a clear relation to the Nest Cam Outdoor, with its cup-like body and black glass fascia, though it’s not designed to be used outdoors.
