With so many different options out there, it’s difficult to call any single home security camera the “best.” That said, the brand new Nest Cam IQ might be the closest thing you’ll come across to a camera worth of that title. It includes all of the features and simplicity you’ve come to expect from a Nest Cam, but it also includes a crazy new feature you won’t find anywhere else. The camera streams in 1080p, but it actually has a 4K sensor. Why, you might ask? The Nest Cam IQ has up to 12x digital zoom that automatically recognizes an intruder, zooms in, and then follows him or her automatically. It’s pretty incredible, really.
Here are some highlights from the product page:
- Person alerts: Smart enough to tell a person from a thing, then alert you.
- Supersight: A 4K sensor, 12x digital zoom and High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging offer extra clear video that can automatically zoom in and track intruders
- HD Talk and Listen: Lets you have a seamless conversation.
- 24/7 live video: See a 130° view in 1080p HD, day or night.
- 3-hour snapshot history: Review what happened in the Nest app, even if you missed an alert.
