Google Nest Cam Floodlight Featured

It can be hard to fall asleep at night if you’re worried about prowlers showing up on your doorstep and possibly breaking in to your home. With the Google Nest Cam with Floodlight, unwanted visitors will be illuminated in the dark, and video footage will be recorded of their visit.

Built-in intelligence clarifies to the camera whether it’s seeing a person, animal, or vehicle around your home and will then send you the appropriate notification through the Google Home app. No subscription is required.

Check the 1080p HDR video feed from anywhere, anytime of day, weekday or weekend. You’ll have three hours of free event video history to review if you miss something. If you want more, get a Nest Aware Plus subscription for 10 days of 24/7 footage and 60 days of event history.

Don’t worry about power outages or your Wi-Fi going out – the Google Nest Cam will store up to an hour of events for you to review when power and/or Wi-Fi is restored.

The Nest Cam doesn’t just detect motion – the floodlight goes off when there’s important activity. It can also detect familiar faces with the subscription.

Act quickly if something happens. Listen to the person on your doorstep, or speak with them via the speaker and mic on the camera. You can also call for help through the Google Home app (subscription required).

If you have a compatible smart display with Google Assistant, you can stream the live video footage to the display. It also works on devices with Amazon Alexa. Google Assistant can turn on the floodlight for you, too.

Save $80 on this security camera and floodlight combo, and pay just $199.99.

Mycorrhizal fungi colonised plant roots roughly 450 million years ago and biologists now suspect plants could never have moved out of the oceans onto bare rock without them, meaning every forest on Earth — including the redwoods, the Amazon, and the boreal belt — is still running on a partnership older than trees themselves

A species of jellyfish called Turritopsis dohrnii can revert its adult cells back to a juvenile polyp stage when injured or starving, effectively restarting its life cycle, and biologists have so far failed to identify any natural limit to how many times it can do this.
French scientist Michel Siffre spent two months alone in a cave with no clock, no calendar, and no sunlight — and when his team finally told him the experiment was over, he thought he still had nearly a month left underground
When Cingular chief Stan Sigman backed the original iPhone before its 2007 unveiling, he accepted terms American carriers usually refused: no logo on the device, no control over its software, no preloaded apps, and a share of monthly subscriber revenue flowing back to Apple, after signing on without seeing a prototype
In 2016, archaeologists dated two rings of snapped stalagmites in France’s Bruniquel Cave to 176,500 years ago, evidence that Neanderthals had walked 336 metres into darkness with fire and built architecture deep underground long before modern humans reached Europe
Otto von Bismarck was 74 when Germany adopted the world’s first national old-age social insurance program in 1889, setting the pension age at 70 after years of fighting socialists with bans, laws, and a promise few workers would live long enough to use
When cosmonaut Valeri Polyakov stepped out of his Soyuz capsule in March 1995 after 437 consecutive days aboard Mir, doctors recorded him at several centimetres above his pre-flight height, and his spine had become so unaccustomed to gravity that the recovery team carried him to a chair rather than risk the compression of letting him walk.
