We occasionally get emails from people looking to save money on Nest Cams and asking where they might find the best deals. We do our best to oblige, but we also always recommend that people check out the Wyze Cam 1080p HD Indoor Wireless Smart Home Camera instead. If you already have a bunch of Nest gear and you want integration in the same app, paying hundreds for a single Nest Cam is your only choice. But if you want all the same features at a fraction of the price, plus 14 days of cloud storage for free, the Wyze Cam is the way to go.
