I moved into my new apartment a few months ago and wanted to set up a security camera for obvious reasons. The crime rate is going up, so I feel more comfortable knowing I’ll get a notification if someone walks into my home when I’m not there. I also generally like to check the live feed every now and then, making sure there aren’t any other issues while I’m away.
My first impulse was to buy an indoor Nest Cam (3rd gen). I’m already deep into Google’s ecosystem, using everything from Gmail and NotebookLM, to Photos and even Gemini. I also have a Pixel phone. I like Google’s products in general, so a Nest Cam seemed like the obvious choice.
