The camera normally costs $100, so this represents a 30 percent savings. This is close to a record price, which is never a bad thing. The sale includes three colorways, including white, beige, and light blue.
The second-generation wired device is designed for indoor use, hence its name, and is capable of capturing 1080p HDR video. It is sensitive to motion and uses some artificial intelligence tricks to discern between people, animals and vehicles. The camera also includes night vision and an hour of event recording on the device itself, which is useful in case of a Wi-Fi outage.
There is a two-way audio feature as the camera includes a microphone and speaker. People can launch the affiliated Google Home app to start a conversation. This app also lets you instantly call emergency services if the conversation doesn't go as planned, although that requires a Nest Aware subscription.
This brings us to a pretty important caveat, although this one appears with most modern security cameras. A lot of things are locked behind the aforementioned Nest Aware paywall. This plan offers buyers 60 days of video history and the ability to watch live streams on smart displays and even smart TVs. Subscribers will even receive alerts when the camera recognizes familiar faces.
