Google's smart home company Nest announced an outdoor version of its web-connected security camera Thursday.
The $199 Nest Cam Outdoor is rain and snow proof, and includes a power cord so you don't have to worry about changing batteries. Other than that, it functions just like Nest's indoor security camera, letting you stream live video to your computer or phone.
You can pre-order the Nest Cam Outdoor now, but it won't ship for another three months or so.
This is the first new product from Nest since the departure of its founding CEO Tony Fadell in the spring. Tech Insider previously reported that Nest planned to launch an outdoor security camera. The company also plans to launch new colors of its connected thermostat this year, according to sources familiar with the company's plans.
However, sources also tell Tech Insider that the company has more exciting products planned for 2017, possibly including a security system or a hub that connects all your home's smart devices.
Here's a video from Nest showing how the Nest Cam Outdoor works:
