The Nest Cam Indoor is a perfectly fine camera, and if you have boatloads of expendable income then you should feel free to buy a bunch at $200 each. If you don’t enjoy setting fire to your hard-earned money, however, we would humbly like to recommend an alternative. The Wyze Cam 1080p HD Indoor Wireless Smart Home Camera has all the same features as a Nest Cam, plus it comes with 14 days of free cloud storage for video clips. It only costs $26 though, so you can literally cover your home in Wyze cameras for the price of one Nest Cam.
