    I’m using Wyze cams. Their night vision is “Starlight” and incredible as is their daytime imaging. The price for their new version 3 indoor/outdoor model is just $19.98. I have an indoor Nest IQ and the image quality is not as good as the Wyze. I paid almost $200 for it so of course, I’m using it. I’m using the $50 plan. Wyze offers free video recording for 14 days but I use their CamPlus which has the Nest Plus features for $14.99 a YEAR.

    I have 5 cameras and I am switching now ($80 savings) and I can get the multiple camera coverage for 10 days on all cameras for going on two years now. I just had 10-day history on our main two cameras. It's about time Google came out with a new plan. Hopefully prices and services continue to come down because I'm still paying for security as well ... or Google can find a way to bundle security in partnership with a reputable provider and make it one bill.

  • @RoughRidersTV

    why do you need recording on speakers or home hubs? Seems like this is good if you have multiple cameras but don't understand the use case for recording speakers or home hubs. This pricing still seems crazy expensive if you only have a doorbell camera. Ring gives you 60 days of event based recording for 30/yr. vs 30 days at 2x the cost.

    I only have doorbell right now but I'm planning to buy indoor cam as well. So I guess I'll switch to $6 nest aware.
    Is that mean I'll loose my 24/7 recording for 5 days that I currently have? I'm not sure if I understand it correctly but that so called event video history means that it's recording only movements, zone movements, people, etc. and when nothing is moving or happening those times will not be saved to the cloud? is that right? please somebody help me :)

    • @SteveDOES

  • @Tanquen
    @Tanquen 4 роки тому +3

    I'd still rather have the ability to record to local storage like a NAS device but unfortunately Google blocks this. Then I think the 30 days of notification would make even more sense as you could look through your own video and see if there's anything else happening. Using your bandwidth to send all your video to them and then downloading again to look at it seems a little crazy especially since the nest aware still misses a lot of stuff and still sends you notifications that shadows and daylight changed outside or a car drove by.

One broke the other day and Nest very quickly replaced it, Great! However the new camera can’t use the old subscription so I’m now forced to “upgrade” for an extra £2 and I loose the 5 day CVR. But wait it’s ok I can pay £7 more to get it back 🤬

Arlo is £7.99 for Arlo Smart for only 5 devices and 30 days events recording but now Nest is so much cheaper with more devices and twice the amount of days. Arlo really needs a re-think on its plans again because they will lose people to Nest now.
