The Nest Cam is great. We love the Nest Cam. If you already have a Nest Learning Thermostat and you want to keep everything integrated, Nest Cams are a fine way to go. But if you’re looking for a camera that has all the same key features at a fraction of the price, you’ve come to the right place. The Wyze Cam 1080p HD Indoor Wireless Smart Home Camera is just as good as Nest’s indoor camera, but it costs $26. That means even at the Nest Cam’s current discounted price, you can still buy six Wyze Cams for the price of one Nest cam.
Here are the highlights from the product page:
- Works with Alexa: Ask Alexa to show your front door, kid’s room, or anywhere else you have your Wyze Cam , Smart Sound Recognition – Wyze Cam recognizes the unique sounds of smoke alarms and CO monitors and alerts you to these specific emergencies
