A new Nest Cam may be on the way soon, according to an FCC listing for a "wireless streaming device"
The "G3AL9" listing passed the FCC on Sunday night (March 28), but it is not clear when the camera will actually arrive But assuming it's not too far off, that would mean there's a new piece of hardware for use in your shiny new Nest Hub 2
According to a listing unearthed by 9to5Google, the device has a rechargeable 365Vdc battery, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth connectivity It also lists an FCC ID on the "back of the device," which 9to5Google notes suggests that it has no screen
All of this would coincide with the launch of the new Nest Cam Google has already promised that a newer camera will be available this year, which ties in perfectly with the idea of a "wireless streaming device" without a screen
Google promises "interesting new innovations," so other devices are likely to appear as well However, our hunch is that this is indeed a camera of sorts We can't think of any other streamable device without a screen that requires a battery
Further evidence comes from the fact that Google has not made any changes to its Nest camera lineup in the past three years, and the Nest Cam IQ Outdoor has reportedly been out of stock since early this year
The only question is when the new cameras will be available The newly announced Nest Hub 2 passed the FCC in January and was just released a few weeks ago However, the FCC's confidentiality agreement lasts until September 24, so we may not see it until late summer
Either way, we will likely have to wait patiently But at least we know that this is not the only new device Google is working on We have already started hearing news about the Pixel 5a and Pixel 6, and there are rumors of new Pixel Buds As soon as we have the latest information, we will bring it to you in Tom's Guide
