Why’s the video ‘only’ 1080P? Because good HDR 1080P can be more useful than bad 4K (and uses far less battery to send via wi-fi) this is excellent quality within the limits of 1080P. It also speeds things up compared to those services which rely on footage being sent to and processed on cloud servers. Smart features like person, animal, package or vehicle recognition all take place onboard the device, so you can choose which you’re notified about and don’t have to pay for a subscription for this.

The newer Google app allows monitoring of multiple live cameras, among other features. Once charged, it can be mounted magnetically to your home and sends a live view to the Google Home ( not Nest) app.

In terms of simplicity, the “Nest Cam (outdoor or indoor, battery)” – yes, that’s its full name – is fantastic. Benefits from subscription -Weatherproofing could be better

We also suggest you check local rules on the need to display CCTV warning signs, too. Continuous power means cabling, but may also offer the option of continuous recording, while battery-powered devices will require regular visits to charge or replace batteries and will likely only offer clips. You will need to decide how you want to fit your camera which will depend on your DIY skills, the security of the location and the access to power. In terms of on-camera tech, look out for night vision (either infrared, lit invisibly, or via a floodlight of some kind), one- or two-way speakers (which let you speak remotely from the camera), and the field-of-view. Others work via a base station which may make it possible to gain some local control. To record a feed like this, you’ll usually need a subscription (and no limit on your monthly bandwidth). A significant difference between cameras is how they stream footage some do it via wi-fi to your router all the time, others only when they detect some kind of motion (an ‘event’).
