Before you spend $200 on a Nest Cam that just sits there and doesn’t really offer any special features worth writing home about, we have another option you should check out. The Wyze Cam Pan 1080p Pan/Tilt/Zoom Wi-Fi Indoor Smart Home Camera does everything the Nest Cam does and so much more. It supports all the standard features you’d expect like 1080p video, night vision, and two-way audio. But it also has awesome additional features like remote pan and zoom, automatic motion tracking, and 14 days of free cloud storage for recordings. Best of all, it’s only $38 on Amazon with free Prime shipping!
