Nest is the first name that comes to mind when most people think of when they think of smart home devices, and the Nest Learning Thermostat is obviously the most well-known Nest product. The company makes plenty of other connected gadgets though, and one of our favorite is on sale right now on Amazon at a deep discount. The Nest Cam Indoor Security Camera is one of the best options available to people who want to monitor their homes while they’re away, but it’s also one of the priciest. Not today, however, because it has never been cheaper than it is right now on Amazon. You can snag one for $156 if you want it Prime shipped, or the price goes all the way down to $149 and change if you can wait a few extra days (check the “other sellers” section to get the lower price).
Here are the important details from the product page:
