If you want an awesome wireless home security camera with advanced recognition features, the Nest Cam IQ is a terrific option… as long as you have a ton of expendable income and nothing better to do with it. Seriously, who pays $300 for a single camera? The Tend Insights Lynx Indoor 2 Indoor WiFi Security Camera has the same great features and it costs a fraction of the price — just $59.99 on Amazon. That means you can literally buy five of these cameras for the price of one Nest Cam IQ. Yeah, it’s a no-brainer.
