Features

Batteries

With no batteries, you do not have to worry about your camera turning off because the batteries died. However, if the power goes out you won't be able to use it.

That can be good, however, you may want a camera that has both the batteries and a plug so the camera has a backup at all times.

Two- way audio

Cameras like this take your worry off your shoulders. You can see who is inside your house, monitor workers or even say a quick "Hi!" to your kids when they get home from school.

With this incredible feature, you can hear what is going on around the camera, and you can also talk to anyone that is near it.

This feature is quite common among consumer cameras for the communication it brings to the table. Therefore, you will find this feature in numerous cameras.

Alerts

The Nest camera listens in for any crashes, or loud sounds. Since you cannot always be watching the live video, it warns you if it picks up any suspicious sounds.

If it does pick up a boom, crash or the sound of something breaking it will send you an email or alert with an image of the event, so you can quickly know where it is.

If you miss an alert for whatever reason, you can see photos from the last 3 hours of activity in the app to find out what is going on.

Nest thoroughly thought about what to include in their camera. This feature is extremely useful especially since it could mean a burglar is breaking in or your child fell.

Identification

The Nest indoor camera can identify people from objects. Therefore, it can alert you when it genuinely matters. Nest has two types of alerts.

The first one is person alerts, meaning it will alert you every time someone is present in the room your camera is in. 

You might want to turn this feature off if you are throwing a party or if you know that a lot of people move around your house every day, as it might turn into too many alerts.

The second feature is the activity zones. Know when someone is entering the door, or most importantly guard the cookie jar.

Apart from being able to save all the moments you want, Nest also lets you download and share clips with anyone.

 And just to add some fun...you can make footage into a mini timelapse film!
