monitored alarms
The Nest app also lets you view
videos and control other Nest products, and this model works with more smart home devices than other security cameras, including the August Smart Lock, IFTTT, Philips Hue and Scout Alarm. Nest Cam's audio records
well enough for most people, but it wasn't as clear as the Foscam C2 and the Flir FX. Also be aware that you can’t schedule when the camera records. Nest Cam Indoor doesn't require a paid subscription to view live video, get sound alerts and motion alerts. However, you need to pay for Nest Aware subscription to record video, download clips and create time lapse videos. The Nest Cam Indoor's two year warranty is the best in our review.

The price makes it an excellent value, especially considering it earned the highest nighttime video score in our tests with excellent range and clarity in total darkness. In daytime testing, the NetCam had average video quality in bright and low light situations, and while its 720p video resolution doesn't hold up to the 1080p cameras in our review, it’s sufficient for most people. Unfortunately, the Belkin NetCam HD+ had the lowest audio quality in our tests; it was unintelligible.

As with most video doorbells, this one has a built in battery, but it can't run off the battery for very long, less than a day in our experience. August covers this product with a one year warranty. Read the full reviewMost Advanced FeaturesNest HelloReasons to BuyPre
recorded responses and advanced detection featuresReasons to AvoidMost expensive video storage subscriptionRead the full Nest Hello review$173. 88 View at eBayRecommended Retailer$189View at Google Store$229View at Walmart?Nest Hello comes with the most advanced features we've seen in a smart doorbell: facial recognition, people detection and pre recorded responses you can use to relay information to visitors without answering a call. Our favorite feature was the pre recorded responses that inform visitors to leave a package, wait for someone to come to the door or saying no one is available. During our tests, we found that the Nest Hello produced the second best video quality, tying with RemoBell, only Ring Pro had better video. Nest Hello has a slim form factor that fits on most doorframes and is the only video doorbell we reviewed with a two year warranty. It's a great option if you have
other Nest devices in your smart home but has limited smart home functionality otherwise. If you want to record video, you can pay $5 a month, which is more expensive than other video doorbell storage plans in our comparison. The Nest Hello costs around $230, making it more expensive than average, but still more affordable than Ring Video Doorbell Pro.
