Nest Cam's ability to detect any movement -- including from very suspicious people -- is sometimes just too advanced for its own good.

Redditor _youreAtowel recently uploaded a particularly strange Nest Cam recording. In it, the cam alerts _youreAtowel that a suspicious someone has unknowingly entered their home. Who was this unexpected home intruder?

A pillow with a dog's face on it.

I'm not sure if I should be laughing, or very impressed with the Nest Cam's sophistication. I mean, it did its job? Kind of?

You have to give Nest Cam credit for being able to detect a motionless doggo face. This is truly the peak artificial intelligence.
