Gabe: Hey everybody.
It's Gabe at Security Baron.
Today we're unboxing the Nest Cam IQ indoor edition.
Let's get started.
[music]
[background sounds only]
Gabe: [laughs] That's why.
There we go.
First thing you see is the actual Nest Cam itself.
Meant to see how much that moves.
Let's get started.
¡Comencemos!
¡Enchúfala!
We want the action here.
Adapter, cord, that's it.
Let's get started.
Plug it in.
Get the Nest app which you already have of course, and add this cam.
I feel like this is a larger adapter than what we're used to.
A pretty significant circumference.
I would immediately think not very many other things are going to fit beside it on a outlet
strip.
Got a space for the adapter, our Nest insignia.
I always love the cleanness of the white.
I'm glad it all match this.
I'm trying to see.
What is this?
Is that USB-C?
Like that 28-watt power adapter.
This side goes into the camera itself.
It's a pretty lengthy cord.
I would say it's at least 10 feet.
You definitely get some movement there.
I know that the Nest Cam IQ is not a battery-powered cam.
You have to think about, where I can plug up?
How much length you need?
How far can it go?
This seems like a pretty decently long power cord.
Let's jump into the camera itself.
First holding in my hand, it feels pretty heavy.
Definitely heavier than the Nest Cam indoor.
I wonder what causes that, like why that's the case.
On the back, see the speaker.
The bottom has its QR code.
That's typically how you set up the Nest Cam so that it's in your app.
We already have a few Nest Cams in the app.
With this, we'll be able to go ahead and have this one linked to the rest of the system
in the house, the Nest app.
I guess you can screw this in.
Looks like there's a space for you to screw something in here and attach it to something.
You've got pretty decent mobility here and flexibility.
You go like this, go like that.
Can rotate it as well.
I like that you can hide the cord.
It's actually pretty deep if you note here.
It's pretty deep.
If you want to go in there like this.
Got a rubber bottom, and I like this gray.
It's a solid gray.
Light gray.
I think this is the microphone here.
The microphone, you cannot see typically, boom!
Now, the face of the camera is a matte black which is different.
Typically, with the cameras that we see, the face is glossy black, and I like this matte
black.
It's a good look.
The lens itself is recessed or rather flash with the camera so nothing is bulging out
which gives it a nice sleek minimalistic look.
A lot of the cameras will have something protruding.
This one is rather just a nice flat black.
I'm into this design.
I wouldn't say that it's particularly breathtaking, but it's definitely simple and smooth.
That goes a long way.
You definitely want it to fit into your home.
We all have different home.
Some of us have industrial, some of us have rustic.
Some of us are more maximalist, some are minimalist.
I think this would work in any of those styles.
It is glossy.
I take it back.
That's a little glossy.
This is a matte cover, but the actual cover is glossy.
I take back what I said about it being a different matte black.
Instead, we definitely can see some of the infrared LEDs.
You still got the flashness, little Nest insignia, microphones, but it is not a matte black finish.
It is a glossy finish.
Actually, I like that look.
It's a pretty camera.
This reminds me a lot of the animations before the Pixar movie, the little light bulb that
was going up and down if you remember what I'm talking about.
If you watched "Toy Story" when you're a kid, it's definitely, a lot with this camera looks
like.
It's a little lamp and its buddy.
Let's set up the Nest Cam IQ.
To begin, we should go ahead and get this going.
I've no dexterity in my fingers so it takes me forever to get things off like this.
There we go.
Voilà.
[inaudible 6:25] . Plug this one here.
Plug this in.
That recess place here.
Plug it in.
Now, let's take out my phone.
Go to the Nest app which I already have because I've set up the Nest Cam indoor.
If you note on the bottom here, there is a little QR code.
Take the QR code, scan it.
Boom!
I'm done.
Just going through the set up now.
I've placed the device where I want it.
Continue looking for your camera.
It's going to take a moment to connect, but just a moment.
It's already connecting now.
Looking for the WiFi network.
This is honestly the longest part of the whole thing.
It's just it finding my network...
