Excellent subscription service and app support, Strong picture quality (day and night), Rugged and waterproof build, Integration with IFTTT and other products
Nest Aware subscription service is too expensive, Some issues with getting the camera online, Functionality is limited without buying Nest Aware, The design is vulnerable to tampering, or theft
Nest's stylish camera is backed up by the most user-friendly companion app of all the security cameras we've seen and its Nest Aware service, which stores up to 30 days of footage in the cloud, is the most reliable and accessible. The only problem is that...

As a secure security camera the Nest Cam Outdoor is somewhat lacking. But as a smart camera for the home it certainly has a lot of great features.We like the quality of the footage for both day and night capture, the alert system for people detection, and...
Abstract: But I want to own my music, bellowed many. I want physical CDs, not computer files. When digital files became more useful and usable, there were more reasons not to do it: what if my internet connection goes down? And besides, I like listening to music on...

Abstract: I moved into a new apartment last year, just before the second lockdown kicked in, keeping us all indoors for weeks on end. Now, as we slowly try and step back into what was our old routine, it is becoming tougher to let go of the comfort of home and the...
