Great video quality, smooth real-time viewing, field leading monitoring services available,
Very limited without a subscription
The Nest Cam Indoor is the best security camera for real-time viewing. If you're willing to pay for a subscription it is also one of the best overall cameras, slightly behind the Nest Cam IQ that offer advanced facial recognition...
The $299/£299 Nest Cam IQ has an 8-megapixel, 4K image sensor and improved 12x digital zoom for access to new livestreaming security features. A hardware upgrade improves the audio quality of Nest's two-way talk function
