Anyone who owns a Nest Cam will tell you that it’s a fantastic product that delivers on all of its promises. Of course, anyone who owns a Wyze Cam 1080p HD Indoor Wireless Smart Home Camera will tell you that it’s even better than a Nest Cam despite costing a small fraction of the price. Wyze’s indoor camera does everything you’d expect from a 1080p home security cam, but it also comes with an unprecedented 14 days of cloud storage for free! You can buy almost eight Wyze Cams for the price of one Nest Cam, so definitely check it out.
