Gabe: Let's kick off today's best indoor home security cameras video, by looking into one
of the smartest home security cameras on the market today -- The Nest Cam IQ Indoor.
It's not only smart, though it's pretty well rounded, especially when it comes to video
quality.
Where it has 1080p high definition video, with a nice 130-degree field of view.
It's capturing everything in that room, and I liked the way it's capturing it.
In fact, I think the Nest Cam IQ is really good at capturing things as they actually
are.
For example, I come through nice and bright.
It doesn't necessarily put too many shadows or darken my features and the same for my
fair skin friends.
Where it doesn't wash them out or make them look orange.
Overall, I'm really happy with that daytime fidget, and even happier maybe with the night
vision work.
Has high powered infrared LEDs, that really help illuminate in a sense, the space in which
I am located or someone else.
You can see exactly what's going on, no matter how dark it is.
With the intelligence on the Nest Cam IQ Indoor, you're actually able to enhance the impressive
video quality.
I'm talking about features like supersite, which you can actually track up close people
moving around a room.
It's really fun to witness and almost disconcerting in a way.
The way it's able to really follow someone at this close-up range.
Additionally, it has familiar face alerts.
Once it recognizes someone you know, it can know, like, "Hey, someone's here that you
recognize."
If it doesn't recognize someone, it also lets you know that there's an unfamiliar face in
your space.
If that's not enough, it just has Google Assistant built in.
If you're in a room that maybe doesn't have one of your Nest Minis or Google Homes, you
can simply ask the camera itself, "Hey, what's the weather like outside?"
Another element I've been really impressed with, with the Nest Cam IQ Indoor, are the
microphone and speaker.
It may be the loudest and clearest of any device that I've seen in this particular market.
You can hear exactly what's going on and be heard.
It's just really loud and clear.
Beyond that, if I want to go and look or hear anything that's happened in the past 24 hours.
You could 24/7 continuous recording with your paid Nest Aware subscription.
What I love about that is it gives me the opportunity to go back in any period of time
and actually take a clip.
Cut it to the duration I want it to last for.
Download that directly to my phone or share it with others.
You really get a lot of flexibility from the 24/7 continuous recording, that comes with
the Nest Aware subscription.
When it comes to the installation on the Nest Cam IQ Indoor.
It is a snap, you simply plug it in, scan the QR code and the rest will be facilitated
by the mobile application.
Probably takes you about five minutes to get up and running.
Then mobile app is really intuitive and straightforward in helping you not only live stream your footage
and save clips, but just do a number activities.
Really bearing into those advanced features, to be cut down on the number of notifications
you received throughout the day.
Overall, I think it's a fantastic option for you and your home security apparatus.
