Google has unveiled a series of new smart home products in its Nest line, including a doorbell and a new router.
Google is doing things I've NEVER seen before…
These new Nest products are designed from the ground up to integrate with Matter, the upcoming smart home communications standard that should (in theory) finally bring all the competing protocols under one umbrella. In other words, setting up a smart home is about to get easier.
The second generation of the Hello doorbell is wired and therefore does not need to be charged often. However, you will need a doorbell wiring.
As expected, the new Nest Doorbell records video and features a 1.3-megapixel color sensor, HDR imaging, a 3:4 aspect ratio for head-to-toe views, and a 145-degree field of view. This camera also has a slimmer profile than its predecessor and comes in four colors. It launches today and costs $180.
