GoogleGJQ9T Nest Cam (Indoor, Wired) Security Camera - Smart Home WiFi Camera

That's cam is awesome. The definition is great even at only 720p where the maximum is 1020p. I did not try the highest resolution as i am already happy with a medium one. The price is dear at around £150 but it's worth it with a high quality. You can listen to what is going on and also zoom in if needed. Got some other features that are also useful like night vision and motion sensor not to mention a few. I went abroad and still kept an eye on the house or an ear ehehehe. And also if you are busy doing something else like enjoying your holiday or having a meeting, it will alert you by notice on your smartphone. The only problem is that after 30 days of free history review of your cam, you will have to subscribe to a monthly or yearly subscription. I personally do it on a monthly basis and it's at £24 where the year one is £240. I will subscribe when going away on holiday only. You can access your cam using your PC or your smartphone (iphone or ipad in this case) by entering a log-in password. The camera cannot be turned off completely apart from taking off the cam from the network, as there is no battery to put it on standby but it will not stream on the network when it is 'off' and as i said you cannot access your cam unless you have a password. You have two options 'Home' and 'Away'. The 'Home' option will turn off the cam and sensors when you are obviously Home and the 'Away' option will put your cam on with all the sensors on, vision and sounds. By the way, the cam is so sensitive that it will sense a flash by your window as movement but you can change that by targeting a certain area of the house. This is a great tool, I do not regret for buying it at all. Check also the cover there is available to hide the cam. The cam can also be mounted on a wall if needed with the parts provided. Also i've compared some other cams about their design, and this one is really good looking. But nonetheless I was looking mostly about how practical it was to hide or stand the cam in the house.

Firstly I should say up front I have various ip cameras and have tried various ones (I have izon view, withings babycam, dropcam, withings home). This one stands about above the rest.Setup - this was very simple, download the app, plug in the camera, scan the qr code when prompted and it was up and running 5 minutes max and totally fool proof. Even my father in law could manage this!The quality itself is excellent in both 1080p and 720p, if you buy before the 3 edition August it also comes with a 60 day trial for the nest 10 day. This has caused some confusion and conflicting information in the reviews. This allows you to review all video feed (at full fps) for the last 10 days. If you access via a pc/laptop you can create MP4 video clips from it. The video has a very wide view angle and is only beaten by the withings home because the withings has de-warp. Otherwise this comes out on top.Our daughter is ill so we wanted something we can review footage and this fits the bill perfectly.Good points1. Great picture quality2. Wide angle of view3. Ties in to nest Eco system4. Saves all video footage to the cloud for later review (with subscription)5. No app crashes or cut outs (unlike all my other ip cameras)6. Night vision is greatNegative points1. Subscription model is more expensive than others but is far superior to my withings home or izon2. The two way audio is not great, there is some lag and it's more like a cb radio, talk, wait and listen3. The LEDs cannot be disabled on the front4. No local storage / nas storageIn summary this is the best ip camera I have tried, it depends on what you want to use it for, our use case is something that constantly records and we can go back and review old footage in 30fps 1080p. As a baby cam the withings baby cam is better as it runs in the background and Alerts work better but has no recording. The withings home is just riddled with bugs and clips are recorded at 1fps and the izon is limited to 25 clips per day!I would highly recommend this.

Good quality and easy to set up. All you need is to connect the USB cable and WIFI, along with your mobile phone. Even with subscription it provides short recording when people/motion is detected, which is very useful.
