Google (http://mashable.com/category/google/?utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss) is eyeing an entry into the growing smart home market through its Nest division and a possible acquisition of startup Dropcam.

The combination of Dropcam's Wi-Fi enabled cameras and the expansion of Nest would give Google the capability to offer customers cutting-edge home security and control to compete with companies like Comcast, Time Warner Cable and even Apple. The acquisition talks were first reported by The Information (https://www.theinformation.com/Google-Eyes-Home-Security-Dropcam)
