If you buy a Nest Cam, $200 gets you the most basic features you can imagine. But if you take advantage of this Amazon sale and snag a YI Dome Camera instead, you get all kinds of awesome advanced features for just $41. Yi’s Dome Cam has all the same basic features as the Nest Cam, such as 1080p resolution and night vision. But it can also pan, zoom, and even automatically track people as they move around your home!
