The Nest Cam Indoor Security Camera

TECHHIVE RATING

Nest Cam doesn’t improve much on the Dropcam Pro, but it doesn’t need to. It’s an excellent camera if your serious about home security. Read TechHive's full review

The Nest Cam is a terrific choice if you’re looking for an indoor security camera. Being the successor to the popular Dropcam Pro, the Nest Cam delivers improved video resolution, better sound and motion detection, and it can see better in the dark than the original model. 

While you can’t deploy one outside (at least not without purchasing a weatherized enclosure), the Nest Cam does include some features you won’t find in our top pick, including two-way audio, noise detection, and a stand that doesn’t need to be fastened to a surface. You also won’t need a PC or an NVR to store the Nest Cam’s video captures, because it uses the cloud for that (with the obvious downside being an ostensibly optional subscription. Without the subscription, you can see only live video from the camera.)
