Nest Labs recently launched their camera called Nest Cam for home monitoring. If you have been looking for an effective security cam, then it can be a good option to try out. While it will need you to take some paid services, let us see how deservedly it performs.

Usefulness

If you remain out of your home most of the time during the day or night, then Nest Cam can be a nice way to keep a watch on the security of your home. While you may not only watch out for your kids at home, but may also hear the entry of a stranger in the house.

Nest Cam does a great job givingyou the live video and audio feed of anything happening within the immediate boundary of a space. While it shows live and just-happened stuff, it will not show you the historical video clips, as that service is paid.

Value for money

Nest Cam is available at a competitive price of $200, which seems justified for all similar DIY cameras cost around the same. However, you may find it unworthy without availing its paid service for watching historical recordings. For this, you will need to pay around $10 if you want to watch the feed for 10 days in a month.

Else, it can be taken for around $30 a month for the feed of the entire month. Thus, it is every user’s individual opinion how they find the extra charges for this service, along with the set payment they make for this device.

Nest Cam has great connectivity, and it works effectively in synchronization with its mobile app. You can use it smoothly with all iOS and Android devices. Once you do the settings, the camera works efficiently to provide alerts every half an hour, given that there is some activity detected. If you are watching historical clips, then these can be downloaded in MP4 format.

The ease with which Nest Cam works is amazing. Even a child at home can quickly learn to operate it. The device hardly takes time for being set up the first time you use it. Just take it out of the box and download the app in seconds. It is ready to be connected over Wi-Fi. It would only take you a minute to do all this and make your Nest Cam operational. However, you can only watch some specific area within 20 feet of its LED view.
