Review on 📹 Google Nest Cam Indoor 3 Pack - Wired Indoor Home Security Camera - Mobile Alert Control & 24/7 Live Video Surveillance with Night Vision by Michael Altayeb

I bought these cameras after the Lighthouse store closed thinking it was the second best option after the Lighthouse camera which I loved. 8 months later I wish I had made a different choice, but only partly due to Google's recent changes to the status bar. After the first few months I bought another Nest camera model, thinking I bought the wrong type as the more expensive model needs to have face recognition to make it look more like the Lighthouse camera I had previously. But none of them were what I had hoped for. Motion detection does not distinguish between humans and pets and is sometimes triggered, for example when the light is switched on. As shown in the image I uploaded, the cameras cannot distinguish a cat from a "human" and I get "human" alerts several times a day caused by the cat. I read that this happens if you don't pay for a subscription. But I paid an expensive subscription for all 4 cameras and still had this problem. Face recognition on the more expensive camera is also not very good. When he first warned the "unidentified face" was actually a shadow on the ceiling caused by a ceiling fan, it wasn't programmed well enough for the software to understand that faces aren't disembodied on the ceiling of people appear. It has since easily captured images of 2D TV presenters when the nanny is watching TV, giving me a clear, beautiful image of any news reporter she sees, but capturing the nanny's 3D face with a recognizable facial expression. Picture? Hardly. A sitter was in and out of this cell multiple times a day for several days, and I think I finally got a picture. And now that Google has bought the company, they seem to have decided that you can no longer turn off the green light on every camera. I never thought that the status light showing the camera is on would be such a big problem, even though it makes the cameras more uncomfortable for everyone in my house, but people who bought it as a baby monitor are reporting real issues , because that green light bothers you. Children. What worries me more is that there is no way to prevent the green status light from flashing when the owner is watching a video. This makes it almost useless as a security camera in my opinion (after buying 4 cameras and 4 subscriptions!). All an attacker has to do is watch the flashing status light to let them know when the homeowner is viewing the video and be sure no one has likely ever called the police. I still hope that Google will heed its customers' objections and drop their new status bar plan. But even if it wasn't, I'm looking for another brand.
