Review on πŸ“· White Nest Labs WiFi Indoor Camera - Enhanced for Seamless Connectivity by Jeff Henkhaus

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fur. Don't trust the videos on YouTube. it sucks.

I wanted to compare Ring, Sengled and Nest to see which is better. The main problem with this is that the night vision sucks. Its own LED light (which you can't turn off) bounces off the glass, and even if you cover it with opaque tape it still picks up too many reflections (even if you press down on the glass) to be of any use . It claims to have excellent face tracking, but what's the point if it can't take a picture? The tuning on the device is also minimal. I don't like the app at all and the monitoring is too expensive. It's probably okay to keep an eye on yourself indoors, as the lights flicker when you activate live view - so perfect for narcissists and exhibitionists - which again is useless for home security and you don't want to alert burglars , if you have called the police.

Pros
  • Surprising
Cons
  • Generally OK, but...
