Nest, who recently announced it would be selling an outdoor cam, is giving homeowners on-demand video at their fingertips with a new brand-new app.
Sightline, released as part of today’s software update, allows users to zoom through several days of video in a matter of seconds. In addition, a new “person alert” has also been added for Nest Aware subscribers in which the software is able to differentiate a person snooping on your property from, say, a swaying tree or the neighbor’s cat.
Swiping through the video allows a user to zoom through hours of video, even days, in just a few seconds, and shows the user snapshots of key moments so you don’t necessarily have to dig through hours of footage for a 30-second clip.
And, if you have multiple cameras, the new software can tell you what “activity zone” the moment happened in.
Nest Aware subscribers, besides the extensive archive of video, will also get cloud storage and processing. And those who aren’t subscribers will still receive a free three-hour window of video footage.
Additionally, Nest announced three new colors: white, black, and copper.
