The new Nest Cam and Doorbell models, distinguished by "2K" and "with Gemini" badges on their packaging, have been spotted in retail stores ahead of their anticipated official announcement on October 1.
The new product names are expected to be the Nest Cam Outdoor (wired, 2nd Gen), Nest Cam Indoor (wired, 3rd Gen), and Nest Doorbell (wired, 3rd Gen). While the physical designs of the cameras remain largely unchanged from the 2021 models, Google is introducing new color options, including a vibrant red.

The most notable changes are highlighted on the packaging. The "2K" designation points to a significant upgrade in video resolution, promising clearer and more detailed footage. The "with Gemini" badge suggests that these devices will leverage Google's latest AI models to provide enhanced features, such as more intelligent object recognition, improved activity detection, and more nuanced alerts.
The early appearance of these products in stores indicates that they will be available for purchase immediately following the October 1 announcement, which is sure to excite consumers and smart home enthusiasts alike. This is a significant step for Google's Nest lineup, bringing higher resolution and advanced AI capabilities to its core security products.
